Auto-sending of receipts for the self-employed

Only for the self-employed

In accordance with Federal Law No. 422-FZ, when receiving payments for goods sold and services rendered, a self-employed individual must register their income in the Moi nalog service. During the registration, the service will generate a payment receipt which must be sent to the buyer. If you cancel or refund a payment, the registered receipt must be annulled (reversed, canceled) so that the tax office does not take this data into account.

You can automatize this process by using the YooMoney solution for auto-sending of receipts. The service automatically registers and cancels receipts for each payment or refund in the Moi nalog service.

Auto-sending of receipts is only suitable for self-employed individuals that use regular payments or the partner program. If you use Safe deal or Split payments as a self-employed individual, receipts must be registered manually.

How it works

To register a receipt, you need to send additional data for the receipt in the request for creating a payment or refund: information about the goods and the user's contact information (for sending a receipt).

After YooMoney receives the data for the receipt, it will direct it to the tax office immediately and wait for the response within one day:

If the tax office successfully registers the receipt, it will return a link to it to YooMoney, which YooMoney will send to the user.
If for some reason the receipt cannot be registered, YooMoney will inform you about this via email. You can generate the receipt independently via the Moi nalog service.

You can find out the receipt registration status via API and in the payment history of your YooMoney Merchant Profile.

For each successful payment, YooMoney charges a receipt registration fee, which is a certain percentage of the payment amount. There is no commission for refunds and cancellations of receipts. Detailed conditions are specified in the YooMoney Terms of Use.

Receipt requirements

The tax authorities have several requirements for receipts:

One receipt may contain no more than six positions, while the quantity of each item can vary. If you have more than six items in one order, make multiple payments.
The receipt must only contain information about the full products. It will not be possible to register a receipt with a fractional or weighted product.
It is impossible to change the generated receipt. If you are canceling or refunding only part of a payment, you must first cancel the old receipt and then generate a new one.

Activating and disabling the option

YooMoney's solution for auto-sending of receipts suits the self-employed who sell goods or provide services to individuals. If your clients are legal entities or individual entrepreneurs, receipts must be registered manually.

You can enable or disable the auto-sending of receipts in the YooMoney Merchant Profile.
