Rosstat extended the reporting deadline to May 2021

Who should report to Rosstat

Statistical reporting is provided for any business entity, regardless of the type of their activity. Large organizations are required to report regularly; they often submit several reporting forms at once. Representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as micro-enterprises, submit statistical reports when they participate in continuous statistical observations once every 5 years, and in the period between this they can be included in the Rosstat sample based on various criteria - type of activity, revenue volume, number, etc. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 16, 2008 No.).

Reports within the framework of sample studies can be submitted quarterly or monthly, and for micro-enterprises only annual statistical reporting is acceptable (Clause 3, Article 5 of Law No. 209-FZ dated July 24, 2007).

Official figures

If we look at official statistics relating specifically to the type of injury, here are the data provided by Rosstat:

• Eye injuries – about 7%. Most often they occur in adults under industrial conditions.
• Thermal and chemical burns in domestic conditions range from 7 to 10% in both adults and children. In case of work-related injuries, they reach a figure of 4.7%.
• Intracranial injuries in road accidents in children account for up to 13%, and in adults up to 11%.
• Fractures of the spine and other trunk bones range from 4 to 8% in adults.

Thus, summing up the types of injuries, it is worth noting that the vast majority (up to 80% of injuries) are determined by superficial lesions, open wounds, dislocations, limb fractures, sprains and ruptures of tendons and muscle tissue.

If we analyze the general hospitalization, then injuries in adults account for 9% of cases, while 7.5% of children are hospitalized with injuries from the total number of patients admitted to hospitals.

It should also be noted that the largest number of injuries occurs in domestic conditions and when a person, regardless of age, is on the street - up to 70%. Up to 14% of children are injured at school. Whereas in production conditions up to 16% of adults.

How to find out which forms of statistical reporting you need to report on

Having formed the sample, the territorial bodies of Rosstat are obliged to notify the individual entrepreneurs and organizations included in it of the need to submit the relevant reports, as well as provide forms for completion. If there was no such notification, individual entrepreneurs and companies can independently find out what forms they will use to report in 2018.

How can I find out from the statistics agency which reports (by TIN, OGRN or OKPO) need to be submitted in 2021? The easiest and fastest way is to go to the Rosstat website, on the page ]]>statreg.gks.ru]]> indicate your status (legal entity, individual entrepreneur, branch, etc.) and enter one of the listed details in the special fields. As a result, the system will generate a list of statistical reporting forms that a person must submit, indicating their name, frequency and submission deadline. If the list of statistical reporting forms for 2021 is empty, you do not need to report to Rosstat in this period. Information on the site is updated monthly.

Also, a company or individual entrepreneur can contact the territorial body of Rosstat with an official written request for a list of reports, but this will take much more time (clause 2 of Rosstat’s letter dated January 22, 2018 No. 04-4-04-4/6-smi).

Dynamics of development of different niches

The pandemic has made adjustments to the preferences of Russians, but sooner or later the situation will level out. It is obvious that people will always buy essential goods, but the trend of penetration of online commerce into various categories indicates the clear dominance of e-commerce in the coming years.

Changing online shopping behavior has positively impacted some niches. Many did not believe that it was possible to buy fresh food online. It is still difficult for us to get used to this delivery method, since food is one of our main needs and there are increased demands placed on it.

Along with the increase in demand for food, sales of personal protective equipment have increased. People bought antiseptics, gloves and masks at exorbitant prices. As the incidence rate decreases, the demand for these products will fall, but many Russian residents will stock up in case of emergency.

The list of popular product categories includes:

• electronics and household appliances;
• Goods for pets;
• cosmetics;
• clothing and shoes;
• household products;
• books.

According to analysts, the volume of orders in online pharmacies will increase significantly . In 2021, Russian residents ordered medicines worth 86.3 billion rubles, the average bill was 1,670 rubles. The number of online orders increased by 98% in 2021. Online pharmacies boast the highest conversion of visitors to customers.

Statistical reporting forms and deadlines for their submission

Statistical forms can be grouped depending on the type of business entity: for example, statistical reporting of individual entrepreneurs, micro-enterprises, medium and small firms, large organizations; there are also forms on which all of the listed entities can report.

Some 2021 statistical reporting may only be intended for certain sectors of activity: agriculture, retail trade, construction, etc. You can also highlight statistical reports presented by the number and composition of personnel, volume of revenue, products produced, etc.

Each statistical form has its own deadlines for submission, violation of which can result in significant fines (Article 13.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation): 10 – 20 thousand rubles. for officials, and 20-70 thousand rubles. For the company. Responsibility for repeated violation of deadlines for submitting statistical reports will increase to 30-50 thousand rubles. for responsible officials, and up to 100-150 thousand rubles. for the organization. The same penalties apply when submitting false statistical data.

If there are no indicators for filling out reporting, Rosstat must be notified about this in a letter, and it should be written every time the next reporting date occurs (clause 1 of Rosstat’s letter dated January 22, 2018 No. 04-4-04-4/6-smi).

Along with statistical reports, legal entities are required to submit a copy of their annual accounting reports to Rosstat. Accounting “statistical” reports (including those in simplified forms) are submitted no later than 3 months after the end of the reporting year (for 2017, the deadline is 04/02/2018). For violating the deadline, officials can be fined 300-500 rubles, and the company 3-5 thousand rubles. (Article 19.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Payment and delivery methods

In the article we have already partially touched on logistics, but now we will dwell on it in detail. Analytics of delivery methods clearly shows that Wildberries and other large retailers are investing in the development of logistics systems. Leaders of the e-commerce niche in Russia want to reduce dependence on Russian Post and private companies. Online retail giants are building their networks of parcel terminals and pick-up points, delivering orders from competitors and actively buying land for the construction of logistics facilities.

Representatives of the Ozon marketplace note that the main limiting factor for e-commerce in Russia is the lack of infrastructure . The company is actively building new factories and logistics centers to meet its needs.

E-commerce leaders are finding new ways to get products to customers quickly and affordably. For example, in 2019, the Beru marketplace offered to pick up orders at the checkout counters of stores in the Pyaterochka retail chain.

There is no doubt that the share of self-pickup will increase in the coming years . People are willing to wait to save on shipping. This is especially true for large-sized goods, when parcel delivery can cost several thousand rubles.

According to online stores and logistics services, almost 40% of customers abandon an order if the delivery cost is too expensive. For example, if a book is sold for 500 rubles, and delivery to a Russian Post office costs 200.

The online store logistics market is experiencing a change in the operating model. If previously contractors collected all orders in one warehouse, now the city or region is divided into several zones. Thanks to this approach, delivery time and cost of the service are significantly reduced.

In July 2021, Data Insight together with RBK Money released a new study on online payments. The report provides a lot of useful information that reveals people's behavior on the Internet.

Important Features:

1. Buyers most often pay with bank cards.
2. 31% of users used 5 or more payment methods.
3. Electronic wallets are more popular than online banking.
4. 2% of respondents use only cash.
5. Young people prefer mobile payment systems, middle-aged and elderly people prefer electronic wallets.
6. Online shoppers value convenience and security of payment more than rewards and free shipping.
7. 41% of users do not want to pay online if the amount exceeds 10 thousand rubles.
8. Buyers value a money-back guarantee and the availability of different payment methods.
9. 25% of people look at the commission when choosing a payment method.
10. Cryptocurrency remains the most unpopular means of payment.

The behavior and preferences of online shoppers have not changed for many years. Speed ​​of delivery, the ability to return funds, a convenient payment method and the amount of commissions have always been important to people. The last factor has the highest priority. Some stores still pass on the payment of commissions to customers or include them in the price of goods.

Submission of statistical reporting in 2021

Please note that many reporting statistical forms have been developed for almost any economic sector and type of activity. Here we provide tables for statistical reporting relevant in 2021, some of them with deadlines for submission.

Top online stores in Russia

To better understand the situation in the online trading market, let’s briefly look at the top online stores in Russia, the statistics of which were analyzed by the Data Insight agency and compiled a rating.

An analysis of the activities of large retailers showed that the number of orders and revenue of stores from the TOP 100 increases every year . Wildberries has been ranked first in terms of revenue, orders and market share for 4 years in a row. In 2021, the number of orders in the Beru marketplace increased by 860% compared to 2018.

TOP 5 Russian online stores:

1. Wildberries.
2. Citilink.
3. Ozon.
4. Mvideo.
5. DNS-Shop.

Statistics from major online retailers clearly indicate that the effectiveness of trading platforms largely depends on the product category . The number of orders from Wildberries increased by 110% over the year, and the average bill fell by 10% to 1,380 rubles. The fall did not prevent revenue from significantly increasing - from 152 million to 210 million rubles.

The number of orders on Aliexpress over the year increased by 154%, and revenue increased by 162%. The statistics took into account only orders from Russian sellers by buyers from the Russian Federation. The largest receipt in the TOP-15 is from the online store Petrovich.ru. This is due to the high cost of goods and the popularity of the trading platform.
