If the VOSMS contribution is calculated incorrectly, even though the rate in the system is set correctly (5%), the reason most often lies not in the rate itself, but in the organization card settings — specifically in how the IE is set up.

What needs to be checked and corrected:

1. Open the organization card and check how it is set up. In the described case, the IE was mistakenly set up as a Legal Entity — this caused the incorrect calculation of the contribution amount, lower than it should be.

2. Correct the organization setting by specifying the correct type — IE, not a legal entity.

3. After correcting the setting, a new record must be created in tax accounting — simply changing the existing data is not enough, a new record is specifically required.

4. Refill the "Employee Deductions Calculation" document — after this step, the VOSMS amount will be calculated correctly, in accordance with the 5% rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't the old record in tax accounting simply be corrected, and a new one must be created instead?

The program links the calculation to the specific tax accounting record that was in effect at the time of accrual. If you simply edit the old record, the system may not recalculate the document correctly — a new record is specifically needed so that the calculation "picks up" the correct parameters.

How can you tell that the organization was set up incorrectly — as a legal entity instead of an IE?

Pay attention to the organization's form in the reference book: if the type "Legal Entity" is set for an IE, this leads to an incorrect contribution calculation algorithm, since different rules for calculating VOSMS apply to IEs and legal entities.

Do documents from previous periods that have already been generated need to be recalculated?

Yes, after correcting the organization setting and creating a new record in tax accounting, the "Employee Deductions Calculation" document needs to be refilled so that the amounts are recalculated based on the correct data.
