If it is necessary to cover losses and prevent bankruptcy, the founders have the right to provide financial assistance to their organization. This can be done in the form of a loan, a contribution to the organization’s property (only for LLCs) or donating funds (property).
Funds received from the founder during the year must be included in other income:
- Dt 50 () - Kt 91-1 - receipt of gratuitously transferred funds from the founder.
It is worth noting that the “Gratuitous receipts” account is not used when receiving financial assistance in the form of cash, since it takes into account income from gratuitous receipts of non-monetary assets.
Example 1 - founder’s contribution to the current posting account

Example 2 - assistance to repay a loss
Let's consider how to reflect in accounting financial assistance provided free of charge from the founder, aimed at repaying the loss of the reporting year.
At the end of 2014, Company “A” received a loss of 1,000,000 rubles. In this regard, the founders of the Company Ivanov A.A. and Petrov B.V., before the approval of the annual reports, decided to cover the resulting loss at their own expense. Thus, .02.2015 Ivanov A.A. deposited 520,000 rubles into the settlement account of Company “A”, Petrov B.V. — 480,000 rub.
The following accounting entries were made in Company A:
date | Account Dt | Kt account | Sum | Contents of operation | Document |

Example 3 - replenishment of the reserve fund from the founder
If gratuitous financial assistance from the founder is received to replenish the organization’s reserve fund, it must first be reflected in other income, since the reserve fund can only be replenished from retained earnings. These amounts are subject to inclusion in the reserve fund at the end of the year, after summing up the financial results.
You can reflect these transactions in accounting entries as follows:
Account Dt | Kt account | Contents of operation | Document |
50 () | 91-1 | Received funds from the founder | Payment order |
91-1 | 99 | Reflection of profit at the end of the year | Accounting information |
99 | 84 | Reflection of net profit at the end of the year | Accounting information |
84 | 82 | Deductions were made to the reserve fund in accordance with the standards approved by the charter | Charter |
In modern conditions, even successful organizations need to have additional funds in their current account. Loans are not always a good solution. Russian legislation allows assistance to be provided free of charge in unlimited quantities. So financial assistance from the founder is common. Financial assistance from the founder can be in two options:
- Free financial assistance;
- Borrowing money.
What documents need to be prepared for the first option?
It is known that in accounting any business transactions are documented by postings. But on the other hand, postings are carried out only on the basis of relevant documents. The possibility of financial assistance must be mentioned in the constituent documents. For the legality of the operation “financial assistance of the founder”, a so-called “decision” is necessary - an internal document in free form, where the founder or meeting of founders indicates the decision to provide financial assistance and indicates the amount. The founder's participation share in the authorized capital must exceed 50%. This condition must be met so that the organization does not have taxable income in the form of gratuitous assistance. Otherwise it is non-operating income. At the same time, the authorized capital and the share of the founder do not change.
How to reflect the financial assistance of the founder free of charge in 1C?
The first accounting entry: Dt51 Kt98-02 - reflects the gratuitous amount from the founder as part of the income of the future period (the amount of money was credited to the current account).
1C has a sufficient set of standard tools for automatically generating transactions. To do this, all operations are recorded through the introduction of relevant documents and then reflected in the “Operations Log”. But specifically for the case of “financial assistance of the founder”, there are no such documents, so the entries must be recorded manually.
- To record transactions in 1C: select the “Desktop” icon in the upper left corner, select “transaction log” from the drop-down menu. The “transaction log” opens;
- In the upper left corner of the window there is a + “Create” button, the “Select document type” window will appear, select the “Operation” document type. The "Operation" document appears.
First you need to fill out a document.
- The date and number will be filled in automatically; if necessary, correct it manually. Where “Contents” make a manual entry stating that this is free assistance from the manager;
- Below is the header of the plate, in which the wiring must be reflected. Above the table of tools is the + “add” button, select it, the table becomes interactive. Click on the first line under Account Dt – appears, select account 51;
- Next, in the adjacent column, select Subconto Dt1: top line, the current account to which the funds were received;
- Below is the line - Subconto Dt 2 - select a cash flow item from the directory. Thus, fill in all active rows of the table, selecting the appropriate values from the drop-down directories.
In the “Amount” column, manually write the amount of financial assistance. This indicator will automatically be reflected in the “Transaction Amount” column. Under the transaction amount, manually fill in “Contents” - free assistance from the manager. Next, after filling out, in the upper left corner of the window there is a “Record and close” button. One wiring done. If you now open the “Journal of manually entered transactions”, the new document should appear in the list with the corresponding number.
The second accounting entry Dt98-02 Kt 91-1 - the amount received free of charge is recognized as other income.
As in the first case, in the same sequence:
- First, fill out the document “Operation”, number, number;
- In the line “Content of operation” write down the wording of the posting given above;
- In the interactive table, select Account Dt - this is 98-02 (Free receipts) from the opening chart of accounts, fill in the active lines of the table. Then select Account Kt - this is account 91-1 (Other income).
Advice: if, when filling out subaccount Kt1, the directory of other income and expenses that opens does not contain the required type of other income and expenses, you must enter it yourself.
For this:
- In the “Other income and expenses” directory that opens, there is a + “Add” button in the upper left corner, an additional line will open in the directory, fill it out, and then select it;
- Next, in the same table, write down the transaction amount and content - other income, then the “Record and close” button. Further funds can be used to pay salaries, pay taxes, etc.
Since in accounting the amount received is income, but not in tax accounting, then in accordance with PBU 18/02 a permanent tax asset is formed. This provision is applied by those organizations that are, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, payers of income tax. But if these are non-profit organizations or small businesses, then such organizations themselves have the right to choose to apply PBU 18/02 or not.
This choice must be reflected in the accounting policies.
How to reflect the financial assistance of the founder in the form of a loan in 1C?
If financial assistance must be returned, a loan agreement is drawn up. When drawing up an agreement, you must be guided by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The contract must stipulate the conditions: interest-bearing or interest-free loan, period for repayment of funds. The most commonly used loan is an interest-free loan. In accordance with the Tax Code, funds in the form of a loan are neither income nor expense, and accordingly do not participate in.
Use of accounts: 66 - Calculations for short-term loans and borrowings or account 67 - Calculations for long-term loans and borrowings - depends on the loan term. Posting Dt 51(50) CT 66 (67) receipt of a loan issued by the founder. Posting Dt 66 (67) Kt 51(50) – return of the loan to the founder.

- In the Subconto Kt1 column, the “Counterparties” directory opens. In this directory, select the “founders” folder, select the founder;

It involves the transfer on behalf of the founder of the company of money, property, property rights, securities, materials, fixed assets, etc. In the article we will tell you how the gratuitous assistance of the founder is formalized in 2018 for various taxation regimes, what transactions are made, and we will consider examples.
Features of providing free assistance by the founder of his company
Cash assistance may be temporary ( interest-free loan). The founder also has the right to transfer money and property to his company. This way he can replenish or increase the company’s capital. The gratuitous assistance received must be reflected in accounting. Only after this the company has the right to use it for its intended purpose.
Basic entries used when accounting for gratuitous contributions of the founder
The transfer of funds from the founder (participant, shareholder) on a free basis is reflected by posting DT 50 (51), CT 91. Read also the article: → “”. Account 98.2 (Free deposits) is intended to display non-monetary assistance.

Registration of free assistance from the founder: methods and related documents
The process of registering gratuitous assistance to the founder begins with a general meeting of participants, where the issue of its provision is initially raised and agreed upon. All agreements and agreed upon decisions are recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
The next stage of obtaining assistance, including in the form of transfer of property, is the conclusion of one of the following agreements: (click to expand)
- Donation agreement (exclusively on a free basis). When transferring property, an act on its gratuitous transfer is attached to the contract (the basis for subsequent registration).
- Loan agreement (with mandatory indication of the loan amount and no interest). The agreement comes into force after the transfer of money or property.
- Loan agreement (without payment when the property is transferred for use).
Commercial structures do not have the right to enter into a gift agreement between themselves. An agreement concluded between two legal entities should not contain signs of a gift, an indication of such a background in the legal side of the agreement. The best option is an agreement on the provision of free targeted financing.
Tax accounting of gratuitous assistance from the founder of his company
Profit in the form of gratuitous assistance received from a legal entity (or individual) is classified as non-operating income, from which tax is calculated. Contributions made free of charge are not subject to taxation in cases regulated by law ( Tax Code of the Russian Federation, art. 38, paragraph 2; 250, paragraph 8; 251, paragraph 1).
Type of free assistance | Circumstances in which aid is not taxable | Detailing |
Money, property objects | The share of the “helper” (founder, participant, shareholder) in the authorized capital of the recipient of assistance is more than half | Regarding transferred property (this does not apply to money), these rules apply when it is not transferred to a third party within a year. The countdown starts from the date of its adoption. |
The recipient (legal entity, organization) of gratuitous assistance owns more than 50% of the authorized capital of the helping party (legal entity, organization) | Situation: a foreign company, which is included in the list of territories providing preferential tax regimes, helps (transfers a property). Then the value of the accepted property must be included in profit to calculate tax. | |
Money, property, property and non-property rights | Assistance provided to increase the recipient's net assets | The recipient's constituent documentation (decision) must clearly state the intended purpose of the monetary assistance. |
The above procedure is valid for organizations of all forms of ownership. If the cash contribution made does not increase the tax base, a permanent difference is created. Tax calculations are made from it. The founder's contribution to increase net assets is not taken into account in profits when the company's debt to him is reduced or liquidated.
The preferential category of financial assistance in terms of taxation includes a loan agreement. No interest is charged on the money received. The funds themselves are transferred on a repayable basis. Therefore, profit tax is not calculated on this money.
The specifics of determining the tax base for VAT are regulated by Art. 162, clause 1. Tax Code of the Russian Federation. For the recipient of cash assistance, the tax object for VAT is not determined, since the financial support received is not related to payment for work, services, or goods.
Certain nuances of accounting for the assistance of a founder whose share in the authorized capital is less than 50% (for the simplified tax system, OSNO, unified agricultural tax, UTII)
Organizations on the simplified tax system, OSN, unified agricultural tax, which received monetary assistance from a founder who owns less than 50% of their capital, take it into account in non-operating income.
Profit is recognized on the date: (click to expand)
- accepting money at the cash desk (or settlement forest);
- acceptance of property (basis - the concluded act of acceptance and transfer of the transferred property object).
These rules apply equally to the cash method and the accrual method. Accepted assistance in the form of property, property (non-property) rights and aimed at adding net assets is not subject to income tax. Moreover, the percentage of equity participation of the helping party (founder, shareholder, participant) in the authorized capital does not play a role here.
The situation is somewhat different when an organization is engaged in different types of activities. Let's say two modes are combined - OSNO and UTII. If an organization cannot accurately distribute non-operating income between them, then the entire amount of this income is included in the profit tax base. The tax itself is levied at the current rate of 20%.
Example 1. Contribution of the founder in money to increase working capital
The founder of Priz CJSC, S. N. Safonova, owns 60% of the authorized capital of the company. To increase the working capital of her company, she transferred gratuitous financial assistance of 700,000 rubles. The current account of Priz CJSC was replenished on October 20, 2017.
It is on the date of crediting the money (10.20.2017) that the accountant of Priz CJSC must show the operation to receive funds. For this purpose, the entry DT 50 (51), KT 91-1 is used. Profit tax is not calculated on the monetary assistance contributed by S. N. Safonova, since the equity participation in the authorized capital of this founder is more than 50%.
Example 2. Contributions of founders in money to cover damage
The Strela company incurred damages of 300,000 rubles in 2016. Its founders (3 people) decided to fill the gap with their own money. Free cash assistance on behalf of the founders was provided in the following proportions:
- B. D. Sidorov (equity participation in the capital is 55%) - 200 thousand rubles;
- N. L. Knyazev (share participation 23%) - 50 thousand rubles;
- E. V. Korotkikh (share participation 22%) - 50 thousand rubles.
Postings for free assistance for damages | Characteristic |
DT 75 (Money from B. D. Sidorov to cover damage"), CT 84 | Decision to cover part of the damage by B. D. Sidorov |
DT 75 (Money from N. L. Knyazev to cover damage), CT 84 | The decision to cover part of the damage by N. L. Knyazev |
DT 75 (Money E.V. Short to cover damage) | Decision to cover part of the damage to E. V. Korotkikh |
DT 51, CT 75, Sat. “Money contribution from B. D. Sidorov for damages” | Transferring money to B. D. Sidorov |
DT 51, CT 75, Sat. “Money contribution from N. L. Knyazev for damages” | Transferring money to N. L. Knyazev |
DT 51, CT 75, Sat. “Cash contribution from E. V. Korotkikh for damages” | Transferring money to E. V. Korotkikh |
DT 99, Sat. “Ongoing Tax Liabilities,” CT 68, col. "Income tax" | Calculation of income tax on money contributed by N. L. Knyazev and E. V. Korotkikh |
The tax base for profits includes only money contributed by N. L. Knyazev and E. V. Korotkikh, since their share in the authorized capital is less than 50%.
