91 accounting accounts are closed depending on the period:
- the difference between credit and debit is reflected at 91.09;
- at the synthetic level monthly at 99;
- analytical levels of subaccounts are reset at the end of the year;
- in 1C, closing is automated;
- At the end of the year, the balance sheet is reformed.
Closing the month is, in essence, clearing the balances on some synthetic accounts. The law suggests that there should be no balance in the accounts responsible for collecting costs, income and expenses from core and other activities.
What are other expenses?
The concept of “other expenses” is spelled out in the same chapter of the PBU, but in section 10/99. Here is an open list of expenses - this means that the accountant can classify as other expenses whatever he deems necessary. However, this can be done if there are no contradictions with current legislation and the accounting policies of the enterprise.
Most often, this type of expense includes:
- losses from the sale of own funds;
- expenses related to the company’s bank account;
- a fund for doubtful debts, the formation of which is the responsibility of each organization, regardless of size;
- various fines imposed on the company.
Application of Dt 91 and Kt 01 when selling assets
When selling an OS, the seller creates accounts:
- Dt 62 Kt 91/1 - we record income from the sale of fixed assets;
- Dt 91 Kt 68 - reflect VAT;
- Dt 02 Kt 01 - write off accumulated depreciation charges;
- Dt 91/1 Kt 01/disposal - write off the residual value of fixed assets.
When closing the month, the financial result of the operation is revealed. Balances on subaccounts 91/1 and 91/2 are written off to subaccount 91/9. If the balance is debit, then a loss is recognized for the transaction; if it is a credit, a profit is recognized.
Subaccounts to account 91
In order to correctly carry out analytical accounting, additional sub-accounts can be opened to account 91:
- 91.1. The name of the subaccount is other income. The company receives such profit not from the main direction, but from additional activities.
- 91.2. The name of the subaccount is other expenses. In this case, all additional expenses that are in no way related to the main activity of the enterprise are taken into account.
- 91.9. The name of the subaccount is the balance of other income/expenses. This is the difference between profit and expenses on main account 91. This amount is written off to account 99. The procedure is performed every month.
The listed subaccounts in some accounting programs are designated 91.01, 91.02 and 91.09, respectively.
Features of annual closure
According to the accounting rules, every month it is necessary to close exclusively the synthetic level of the account, without taking into account subaccounts. They accumulate analytical data all year long:
- By type of income/expenses.
- By cost item.
- By department.
At the end of the year, the accounting department must reform the balance sheet. This means that when closing 91 accounts, transactions must reset all analytical subaccounts that are subject to such an operation:
- Dt 91.01 Kt 91.09 – the accumulated balance in the subaccount is reset to zero;
- Dt 91.09 Kt 91.2 – accumulated expenses are closed.
The resulting result as of September 91 closes at 99 “Profits and Losses”, depending on the financial result of the company.
Reflection of other profits and expenses in reports
Other profits and expenses must also be shown in reports as income and expenses from the main activities of the enterprise. They are indicated:
- In accounting reports . Other profit is indicated on line 2340 OFR. As for other expenses, they are indicated on line 2350 of the OFR. They are also displayed on the balance sheet. Profits and expenses are included in accounts receivable or credit, if such a debt was formed at the end of the reporting period.
- In tax reports . In this case, you need to focus on line 100 of Appendix 1 to sheet 02. Other profit is indicated here. They also focus on line 200 of Appendix 2 to sheet 02. Other expenses are shown here.
Often the figures given in the financial statements differ from the data in the tax return. This is due to interest charges. In accounting reports they are indicated separately, and in documents to the tax office they are included in the total amount.
In addition, a discrepancy appears if property tax was paid and the accountant included it in the line of other expenses. In the tax inspectorate report, this payment is included among indirect expenses.
Application of transactions when liquidating an operating system
During liquidation, on the day of signing the act on write-off of fixed assets, the following records are compiled:
- Dt 02 and Kt 01/disposal - write off accumulated depreciation;
- Dt 91 and Kt 01 (Dt 91/1 and Kt 01/disposal) - write off the residual value of fixed assets.
Read more about the write-off of fixed assets in the article “Unified Form No. OS-4 - Act on the write-off of an fixed asset.”
If the OS is liquidated before the expiration date, then it does not have time to fully depreciate. Thus, at the end of the month a debit balance is formed for this business operation, the amount of which is subsequently applied to reduce the financial result.
Account characteristics
To record information about the availability and movement of materials, account 10 is used in accounting.
This is an active account that has a debit balance characterizing the availability of materials on certain dates.
The receipt of materials is reflected in the debit of the account based on the primary documents received by the organization, and their disposal, including write-off to production, is reflected in the credit of the account. At the same time, the company prepares primary expenditure documents for disposal.
The final account balance is determined by adding the opening balance with the turnover on the debit of account 10, and subtracting from the resulting result on the credit of account 10.
Attention! In the balance sheet, information on account 10 is reflected in line 1210.

What is account 10 used for in accounting “materials”
The chart of accounts establishes that account 10 takes into account objects that are defined in accounting in accordance with PBU 5 as materials.
Materials include material assets that are used in the form of inventory, raw materials for the production of finished products, provision of services, performance of work, for resale if necessary, for the implementation of the management process of a business entity.
If material assets are acquired for the purpose of resale on an ongoing basis, then they are goods and a different account is used to account for them.
Materials are accounted for on account 10 at the actual costs incurred for their acquisition or at accounting prices, depending on the methods chosen in the organization’s accounting policy.
Accounting can be maintained for each unit of materials, batch, or group. The company independently determines how to record them based on the characteristics of its activities, as well as in order to ensure control over their availability and movement.
Attention! Materials located in the company may not belong to it by right of ownership, then they are recorded on off-balance sheet accounts (002 and 003).
How to keep furniture records in accounting
Office furniture can be accounted for through account 01 “Fixed Assets” as part of fixed assets or as part of inventories (MPI) on account 10 “Materials”. It depends on the:
- The cost of the purchased piece of furniture.
- Its useful life (hereinafter - SPI).
The procedure for writing off furniture differs in different accounting options.
Currently, PBU 6/01 and PBU 5/01 are still used in accounting. But starting with reporting for 2021, in place of PBU 5/01 it is necessary to use FSBU 5/2019 “Reserves”. This standard can be started to be used earlier, as indicated in paragraph 2 of Order of the Ministry of Finance dated November 15, 2019 No. 180n.

Account 02 Depreciation of fixed assets
Depreciation of fixed assets can be calculated in the following ways:
- in a linear way;
- reducing balance method;
- the method of writing off the cost by the sum of the numbers of years of useful life;
- by writing off the cost in proportion to the volume of products (works).
The chosen method is fixed in the accounting policy. You can use different depreciation methods for different groups of homogeneous fixed assets.
Depreciation is accrued monthly starting from the month following the one in which the property was accepted for accounting as a fixed asset.
The amounts of accrued depreciation are written off as expenses for ordinary activities, these are:
Debit 20,23,25,26,29 - Credit 02.
Or included in other expenses (if the object is of a non-production nature or is intended for rental, if renting is not a regular type of activity):
Debit 91-2 - Credit 02.
If a fixed asset is used to create, modernize or reconstruct another non-current asset, then:
Debit 08 - Credit 02.
