How to obtain a license to trade civilian and service weapons. How to obtain a license to trade weapons and ammunition in Russia, and what are the consequences of selling without a license? Regulations on licensing trade in weapons and main parts of firearms

One of the most frequently asked questions received by the Directorate for Organization of Activities of Licensing and Permitting Units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is the issue of alienation of cartridges for civilian weapons belonging to owners on legally. As the department notes, the legal mechanism for the alienation of legally acquired ammunition by citizen-owners of weapons is particularly difficult (for example, in cases of death of the owner of the weapon, loss, theft of weapons, the desire to sell ammunition, including as part of the collection of weapons and ammunition). The reason for this lies in the complex legal regulation, which causes difficulties for perception and practical implementation.

Let us remind you that the licensing and permitting centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are responsible for issuing licenses and permits for all actions related to cartridges. Namely:
– licenses for the purchase of civilian, service weapons and ammunition (issued to a legal entity)
– purchase licenses firearms limited weapon and ammunition for it (issued to an individual)
– licenses for the purchase of sporting or hunting firearms, smooth-bore long-barreled weapons, hunting air guns and sports pneumatic weapons with muzzle energy over 7.5 J and cartridges for it (issued to individuals)
– licenses for the purchase of hunting or sporting firearms with rifled barrel and cartridges for it (issued to an individual)
– permits to store and use weapons and ammunition for them (issued to a legal entity) or permits to store and use sports firearms with a rifled barrel and ammunition for them at a shooting facility (issued to a legal entity)
– permits to store weapons and (or) ammunition (issued to a legal entity or individual)
– permits for the transportation of weapons and ammunition (issued to a legal entity - the carrier)
– permits for the storage and use of weapons and ammunition at a shooting facility (issued to a legal entity)
– permits for the storage of weapons and ammunition (issued to a legal entity engaged in the sale of weapons and ammunition)
– permits to transport weapons and (or) ammunition (issued to a legal entity or individual)
– permits to store and carry service weapons and ammunition for them (issued to a legal entity with special statutory tasks)
– permits to store firearms smooth-bore long-barreled self-defense weapons and cartridges for them (issued to an individual without the right to carry)
– permits to store and carry award-winning weapons and ammunition for them (issued to an individual)
– permits to store and carry long-barreled hunting firearms, long-barreled sports firearms smoothbore weapons, hunting pneumatic weapons or firearms of limited destruction and ammunition for them (issued to an individual)
– permits to store and carry long-barreled sports firearms, long-barreled hunting firearms used for sports, sports pneumatic weapons with a muzzle energy of over 7.5 J and cartridges for them (issued to an individual)
– permits to store and carry firearms with short barrels and ammunition for them (certain categories of military personnel and employees of state paramilitary organizations who are retired, as well as officials of government bodies who are permitted by law to store and carry weapons)
– licenses for collecting and (or) exhibiting weapons, main parts of firearms, ammunition for weapons (issued to an individual)
– permits for import into or export from the Russian Federation Russian Federation civilian, service weapons and ammunition for them (issued to a legal entity)
– licenses for the acquisition by a foreigner of civilian weapons in the Russian Federation, as well as permits for the export of acquired civilian weapons from the Russian Federation (issued to an individual)
– licenses to perform works (services) in the trade of civil and service weapon and the main parts of firearms and (or) sale (trade) of cartridges for civilian and service weapons and components cartridges (issued to a legal entity)
– permits for the import into or export from the Russian Federation of civilian or award-winning weapons and ammunition for them (issued to an individual)
– licenses to perform work (services) for the storage of civilian and service weapons and main parts of firearms and (or) cartridges for civilian and service weapons and components of cartridges (issued to a legal entity)

In accordance with the preamble of the Federal Law “On Weapons”, its provisions apply to the circulation of ammunition for weapons. Article 1 of the Federal Law “On Weapons” states that trafficking refers to such actions of legal entities and citizens as the sale of weapons and ammunition for them.

In turn, in accordance with the provisions of part three of Article 25 of the Federal Law “On Weapons”, the rules for the sale of weapons are established by the Government. Clause 10 of the Rules for the circulation of civilian and service weapons and ammunition in the territory determines that the sale of weapons and ammunition, along with other subjects of their circulation, can be carried out by citizens of the Russian Federation.

Based on these norms, we can conclude that the owner of civilian weapons and cartridges for them is endowed with a legislatively enshrined right and by-law instruments to alienate (sell, donate) cartridges, regardless of whether the weapon remains in his possession or not, that is, whether he has lost this weapon (for example, in case of sale or loss) or continues to use it. If there are weapons, the decision on the alienation (sale, donation) of cartridges (all or part of them) can be made by the owner at any time at his own discretion.

At the same time, if ownership of a weapon ceases (sold, donated), the requirements of Article 6 of the Federal Law “On Weapons” come into force, which establishes a ban on the storage of cartridges for civilian weapons by persons who do not own such weapons. Hence, former owner weapons bears the obligation to alienate the remaining ammunition (sale, donation or voluntary surrender to the internal affairs bodies for destruction).

In turn, since in the absence of weapons, a previously issued permit for its storage and/or carrying is canceled, cartridges in accordance with Article 27 of the Federal Law “On Weapons” are subject to immediate seizure by internal affairs bodies and will have to be stored in the internal affairs agency until their disposal . By virtue of Article 238 of the Civil Code, this must be done within a year. Moreover, if during this period the citizen’s right to store ammunition was renewed (that is, he acquired the appropriate weapon), there is no reason to return the cartridges to him. If the owner has decided to alienate the cartridges, they can be sold or donated.

The procedure for confiscating cartridges is the exclusive burden of the internal affairs bodies, and not the responsibility of citizens. For example, in the event of the death of a weapon owner, his widow is not obliged to hand over weapons and ammunition to the internal affairs authorities. This should be done by the representatives of the Department of Internal Affairs themselves. If you intend to sell legally owned ammunition, you should keep in mind that, in accordance with paragraph 7 of the Rules for the circulation of weapons and ammunition, suppliers (sellers) of weapons and ammunition are prohibited from selling weapons and ammunition that have not been certified in the manner established by federal legislation, weapons without a number and stamps, as well as cartridges without markings and a sign of compliance with state standards on the primary packaging.

At the same time, paragraph 14 of the Rules for the Circulation of Weapons and Ammunition establishes that on the territory of the Russian Federation the sale of cartridges for hunting firearms equipped with citizens for personal use (and thus not certified) is prohibited.

The sales procedure involves sending all cartridges sold for certification, since by virtue of clause 5.8 of the Rules for Certification of Civilian and Service Weapons, approved by the Decree of the State Standard of Russia, the basis for turnover, that is, for sale, is a certificate. It does not matter whether the cartridges were previously purchased or not, that is, whether they were certified.

The previous certificate is valid during the expiration date of the cartridges only if they are sold by the manufacturer. Therefore, it is invalid in case of commission sale of cartridges by their previous owner. The fact is that non-compliance with their storage conditions, expiration of the shelf life and possible reloading can cause the cartridges sold to not comply with safety or forensic requirements.

The procedure for the commission sale of cartridges, including payment for certification work, is regulated by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia No. 646 “On approval of the administrative regulations for the implementation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation state function to control the circulation of civilian, service and award weapons, ammunition, ammunition for weapons, the safety and technical condition of military hand small arms and service weapons in temporary use by citizens and organizations, as well as compliance by citizens and organizations with the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of circulation weapons" and legislation on technical regulation.

Most often, cartridges and civilian weapons prefer to give. Although donation is not included in the concept of arms turnover, it is directly provided for in Article 20 of the Federal Law in relation to weapons, and therefore to ammunition. For this reason, the practice of transferring cartridges between their owners (for example, while hunting) is not only routine, but also legal. According to the rules of this article, it is carried out in the manner determined by law. In turn, within the meaning of Article 574 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the donation of cartridges, accompanied by their delivery, can be made orally. A certificate of conformity is not required in case of donation.

If the cartridges have defects, the consequences of causing harm to the life, health or property of the citizen to whom they were presented are compensated in civil law (Article 580 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Since cartridges, unlike weapons, are not subject to registration with the internal affairs agency, donations of cartridges are carried out by citizens without their participation.

If the weapon was sold, donated, lost, stolen or confiscated, he does not have the right to keep the remaining ammunition. So in this case he takes all the risks upon himself. At the same time, if, due to any circumstances, the owner of a weapon is found to have cartridges for a weapon that he previously owned legally, liability for violating the rules for storing such cartridges arises on the grounds of an administrative offense provided for in paragraph 4 of Article 20.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation . It states that violation of the rules for storing cartridges entails the imposition of administrative fine in the amount of up to 2,000 rubles or deprivation of the right to acquire and store or store and carry weapons for a period of six months to one year.

The rules for storing cartridges mean their storage by citizens who have received permission from the internal affairs bodies to store or store and carry weapons. In this connection, the absence (for example, cancellation) of such permits in the legal sense entails the above-mentioned administrative consequences.

It is worth noting that the widespread opinion that the actions of citizens who store cartridges without the appropriate permits, which were previously acquired legally, are subject to criminal liability as illegal storage of cartridges, is erroneous.

As for the inheritance of weapons and ammunition for them, this issue is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and Federal law"About weapons." A mandatory condition for inheritance is that the heir has the appropriate license. It follows that he cannot inherit, for example, a weapon with a rifled barrel if he does not have the necessary experience in owning a smooth-bore weapon (currently it is 5 years).

It should also be kept in mind that according to general rule, enshrined in Article 1112 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the inheritance does not include rights inextricably linked with the personality of the testator, including the right to own a weapon with a rifled barrel.

Note!

According to subparagraph 17 of paragraph 2 of Article 149 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), the sale of:

“services provided by authorized bodies for which all types of licensing, registration and patent fees and charges are charged, as well as duties and fees charged by government bodies, bodies local government, other authorized bodies and officials when granting certain rights to organizations and individuals (including forest taxes, rent for the use of forest resources and other payments inbudgets for the right to use natural resources).

Example 1.

The Arms store received a license to sell weapons in December. For consideration of the application, the license applicant paid 300 rubles (VAT exempt) and 1,000 rubles (VAT exempt) for obtaining a license. In the organization’s accounting, the accountant reflected the receipt of the license as follows:

Account correspondence		Amount, rubles
Debit	Credit
			Transferred to the licensing authority for processing the application and obtaining a license
			The costs of obtaining a license are reflected in deferred expenses.
Since the validity period of the license is 60 months, each month the organization’s accountant will include in sales expenses an amount equal to 1,300 rubles: 36 months:
			Part of the licensing costs for the current month was expensed

End of the example.

Tax accounting.

Expenses in Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation are understood as justified and documented expenses incurred (incurred) by an organization to carry out activities aimed at generating income (Article 252 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). A trading organization cannot carry out activities related to generating income without a license, that is, as we see, with regard to licensing expenses, all the requirements set forth by tax legislation are met. Therefore, for tax accounting purposes, the organization takes into account such expenses as part of other expenses associated with production and sales on the basis of subparagraph 49 of paragraph 1 of Article 264 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

The date when licensing expenses are incurred depends on the method used by the taxpayer for recognizing income and expenses for tax purposes: the accrual method or the cash method.

If an organization uses the accrual method, then based on paragraph 1 of Article 272 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the costs of the license must be attributed to expenses taken into account for taxation in equal parts during the validity period of the license. Since for profit tax purposes licensing expenses are taken into account in the same way as in accounting, there will be no difference between accounting profit and the tax base for income tax.

If the organization uses the cash method, then the costs of the license can be taken into account as expenses at a time, after they are actually paid. This procedure is established by Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

There is one more point that I would like to draw the attention of the organization receiving the license. As a rule, during the period of obtaining a license, the organization incurs costs associated directly with pre-licensing preparation, these can be consulting services, inspection of premises by fire departments, sanitary and epidemiological supervision, etc. Part of the pre-licensing preparation services provided to the organization may contain “input” VAT. VAT paid to third-party organizations for services provided by them, VAT has the right to be reimbursed from the budget, on the basis of Articles 171 and 172 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

When using the right to deduct, as a rule, the accountant has a question: is it possible to reimburse the entire amount of “input” VAT from the budget at once, or should this be done in parts as part of the cost of the license is attributed to expenses?

It must be said that there are two points of view on this issue: one is that “input” VAT on such services can be deducted immediately, the second is that the amount of “input” tax is reimbursed in stages.

We will present both points of view, and the organization itself decides which one to choose.

VAT is refunded in stages.

An organization that has received a license initially reflects the costs associated with its receipt on account 97 “Deferred expenses”. In accordance with Article 170 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, VAT amounts charged to the taxpayer when purchasing goods (work, services) are not included in the expenses accepted for deduction when calculating the income tax (profit tax) of the organization.

This means that the debit of the account must take into account the amounts of expenses of future periods minus VAT (if there are corresponding invoices). VAT on purchased goods (work, services) is accounted for as a debit to account 19 “Value added tax on purchased assets.”

Deferred expenses are written off for production and distribution costs in equal parts during the validity period of the license. Consequently, VAT amounts should be deducted in the same way. This point of view is expressed by the tax authorities.

VAT is refunded as a lump sum.

The text of Chapter 21 “Value Added Tax” of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not contain a direct indication that VAT on deferred expenses should be deducted only at the time such expenses are written off as the cost of products (works, services), that is, in stages. Tax legislation imposes four requirements that a VAT taxpayer applying for a deduction must fulfill:

· purchased goods (works, services) must be used by the taxpayer to carry out taxable transactions;

· must be accepted by the taxpayer for accounting;

· purchased goods (works, services) must be paid for;

· the taxpayer must have documents prepared in a proper manner.

If the taxpayer obtains a license, we have:

· a license is required for an organization to carry out taxable activities;

· the services included in the cost of the license were provided to the taxpayer (based on the signing of the service performance certificate);

· the taxpayer accepted the license for accounting (recorded on the balance sheet as part of deferred expenses);

· the organization has an invoice for the provision of pre-licensing preparation services and payment documents.

That is, the taxpayer organization has met all the requirements, so it is possible to deduct the entire “input” VAT at a time.

Some experts may question the general reflection of pre-license preparation expenses on account 97 “Deferred expenses”, however, such a position violates the rules of accounting legislation. Let us recall the rules of the accounting standard PBU 10/99. Clause 19 states that:

“Expenses are recognized in the income statement:

taking into account the relationship between expenses incurred and revenues (correspondence between income and expenses);

by their reasonable distribution between reporting periods, when expenses determine the receipt of income over several reporting periods and when the relationship between income and expenses cannot be clearly defined or is determined indirectly;

for expenses recognized in the reporting period when the non-receipt of economic benefits (income) or receipt of assets becomes determined;

regardless of how they are accepted for the purposes of calculating the taxable base;

when obligations arise that are not conditional on the recognition of the relevant assets.”

The license is issued for a period of 5 years, and the costs of pre-licensing preparation are directly related to its receipt, therefore, they must be classified as expenses that determine the receipt of income over several reporting periods. Therefore, a one-time write-off of such expenses in accounting can be regarded as a gross violation of accounting rules with all the ensuing consequences.

Of course, the tax authorities are unlikely to be able to impose a fine on the taxpayer under Article 120 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, since tax legislation understands a gross violation of the rules for accounting for income and expenses as a systematic incorrect reflection of transactions in accounting accounts. But a fine under Article 15.11 “Gross violation of the rules of accounting and presentation of financial statements” of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses is unlikely to be avoided. Let us recall that this article refers to gross violations of the rules of accounting and presentation of financial statements:

“distortion of the amounts of accrued taxes and fees by at least 10 percent;

distortion of any article (line) of the financial statements form by at least 10 percent.”

A one-time write-off of pre-license preparation costs will lead to distortion of line indicators balance sheet"Future expenses".

Such a violation entails the imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of twenty to thirty times the minimum wage.

Note!

The above arguments regarding VAT can only be used in relation to deferred expenses, which represent the organization’s expenses for licensing, certification, etc.

In relation to, for example, rental payments, paid in advance (they are also reflected by the taxpayer as part of account 97 “Deferred Expenses”), only a phased deduction of VAT is possible, since services are considered received by the taxpayer at the end of each month on the basis of the act of provision of services.

Note!

Using the second point of view may lead to litigation; we have provided arguments that will help the taxpayer defend his case. If you are not ready to enter into a dispute with the tax authority, use the first point of view.

Good afternoon. I was interested in your answer “Approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 30, 2010 N 482 REGULATIONS ABOUT LICENSE...” to the question http://www.. Can I discuss this answer with you?

Discuss with an expert

Let's re-register the weapon

Military pensioner Valentin Egorovich Sizov is writing to you.

My military service is 26 years, I have been a member of the hunters’ society since 1969.

Reminder for buyers of civilian weapons

To obtain permission, the applicant presents a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. identification document of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Application for sale of weapons sample

If a license is missing, the permit cannot be issued. If the owner uses hunting weapon, without having the appropriate permission in hand, he will be punished in accordance with Art.

Permit for hunting weapons (license): procedure for obtaining, documents

Any weapon is subject to mandatory registration with the police.

Are the demands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees legal? Is it possible to keep it without the right to hunt? Hello, dear editors!

A permit cannot be issued in the absence of a license. The use of hunting weapons without appropriate permission is punishable under Art. 20.8 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In this article we will tell you what to do before you go hunting fully armed.

gas - gas pistols, revolvers and cartridges for them, mechanical sprayers, aerosol and other devices equipped with tear or irritant substances approved for use by the authorized body in the field of health care; electric weapons - and other objects whose destructive effect is based on the use electrical energy approved for use by the authorized body in the field of healthcare;

Documents for issuing a permit for purchased weapons for smooth-bore, rifled, traumatic weapons

How to obtain a license to trade weapons and ammunition in Russia, and what are the consequences of selling without a license?

In trading you will never be left without profit.

The arms trade is a very interesting and tempting business.

Many people believe that obtaining a license in this case is extremely difficult. How true is this?

Sales license: what is it?

A permit to sell weapons and ammunition is a kind of “label” from the state for the sale of weapons and ammunition.

This business requires obtaining a license, just like the trade in alcohol, food, pyrotechnics, etc. (Federal Law No. 99-FZ, “On licensing of certain types of activities”).

Without this permit, it is prohibited to sell edged weapons (all types in general), as well as “firearms” and even pneumatics with a caliber over 4.5 mm.

According to the same law, cannot be sold:

Specimens of cultural and historical value;

Rarities, copies and replicas and even copies similar to them;

Weapons and ammunition without a number or factory mark.

In order to implement them, you must have a certificate (declaration) of conformity.

How to obtain a license to trade in weapons and ammunition?

Step 1 – Preparing the room

First, decide where your future store will be located.

The requirements for the premises are quite strict.

Not only must it have a connection to the control panel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, fire extinguishing equipment, as well as an additional power source if the main network suddenly “flies”.

In addition, you need:

Steel grilles on all windows and ventilation ducts;

A separate room without windows - this will be an armory;

The store area is at least 120 square meters.

The law does not establish strict standards either for the size of the armory or for the requirements for display cases.

To sell firearms and self-defense weapons you will need:

1. Constituent documents (copies);
2. Extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
3. Title documents for premises (ownership or lease);
4. Inspection certificates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, OLRR of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, supervisory services (including architectural supervision), SES;
5. Agreement with a security organization;
6. Layout of store rooms;
7. Director's order on internal regime;
8. Orders appointing someone responsible for storing weapons and ammunition, as well as store employees;
9. Mini “dossier” on employees - copies of identity cards, what education and work experience they have;

Moreover, keep in mind that even if you have created such an organization, this does not mean that at the same time your branch will also be able to sell weapons.

Step 3 – Visit the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hand over documents.

The waiting period is usually a month.

The procedure of going through the authorities and collecting papers can be entrusted to a law firm; they will handle it faster.

Step 4 – Get a license

Also find out why your weapons license can be revoked according to the law.

The need to obtain a license for traumatic weapons is described here.

Who can get rejected?

• You are not an entrepreneur;
• You have a criminal record or are prohibited from engaging in activities related to weapons (or this has been identified in relation to someone from the team);
• Insufficient documents;
• Documents are expired or executed with violations;
• The premises do not meet the established requirements;
• In parallel with the sale of weapons, it is planned to sell other goods in the same premises (with the exception of the “hunter-fisher” category and sporting goods).

Selling firearms without a license

The sale of weapons is their irrevocable transfer in favor of third parties as a result of a paid transaction (Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 5 of March 12, 2002).

The Criminal Code (Article 222) says that nothing good, namely imprisonment for up to four years(or 8 - if the act was committed by an organized group). For cold steel and gas weapons - up to two years.

True, there is one significant caveat - if the violator comes to his senses in time and surrenders the illegal goods to the authorities voluntarily, then he exempt from criminal liability(Note to Article 222 of the Criminal Code).

How to obtain a license to manufacture weapons?

Issued by the registration authority - Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation legal entities. If the entire procedure is followed and all documents are in order, then you won’t have to wait long for the license - up to forty-five days(usually less, a month is enough).

Watch also the video about the new rules for the sale of weapons in Russia.

Like a gun sales candidate, the applicant will need to collect a considerable amount of paperwork. This:

1. Statement;
2. Constituent documents;
3. OGRN;
4. Extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
5. Goskomstat codes;
6. Documents confirming that the candidate has a building, equipment, machinery (and a license for it) that meets the standards, as well as a system for recording and storing technical documentation for the production of weapons, a production security system;
7. Papers on the nomenclature of weapons;
8. Documents about who will supervise the production;
9. Characteristics of those who will be engaged in the declared work;
10. State duty receipt.

Unlimited license to work with weapons

You can visit the licensing authority yourself, or you can entrust this procedure to a law office.

For little money, intermediaries will quickly and efficiently collect all the papers and provide them to the Ministry of Industry and Trade themselves, and all you have to do is come to the specified address and pick up the license.

In other words, it is very difficult to obtain the status of a weapons manufacturer or seller. You will have to show remarkable patience and perseverance, which, if done correctly, will pay off many times over.
