Requirements for depreciation groups
Each enterprise uses in its work various fixed assets that are its property and are used in the production of goods, provision of services, and performance of work. To accept them for accounting, the initial cost is determined. Accounting during use is carried out at residual value.
Regardless of the form of ownership of the company, its size and types of activities, the issue of efficient use of fixed assets is one of the paramount ones. The competitiveness of the company's products, its position in industrial production, and the financial condition of the organization depend on it. Therefore, the use of OKOF is especially important.
Office furniture accounting
Accounting for office furniture is a responsible undertaking. To carry it out, a competent approach is required. Typically, updating and purchasing new furniture is carried out in small batches. Today a company can buy a cabinet, and a month later get new chairs.
In some situations, office furniture and office equipment may also be subject to depreciation. If the object is part of the OS, the procedure is required. Determining the group to which the property belongs can help determine the depreciation period. To obtain the information of interest, you need to contact the classifier. Office furniture belongs to group 4. Its period of use ranges from 5 years 1 month to 7 years inclusive.
If an accountant turns to a classifier in order to find out the group that includes office equipment, he will not be able to solve his problem. The type of property is not included in the document. According to the established rules, if an object is not on the list, its useful life is established based on the manufacturer’s recommendations (Article 258 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). To do this, you need to read the documentation accompanying the purchased item.

Legal requirements
According to the provisions of Article 163 of the Labor Code, the employer is obliged to provide employees with normal working conditions. These, in particular, include working conditions that meet labor protection and production safety requirements. Moreover, Article 223 of the Labor Code determines that the provision of sanitary, medical and preventive services for workers in accordance with labor protection requirements is the responsibility of the employer. In connection with this management, companies are equipped according to established standards with:
- sanitary facilities;
- premises for eating;
- premises for medical care;
- rooms for rest during working hours and psychological relief;
- sanitary posts with first aid kits stocked with a set of medicines and preparations for first aid; and also devices (devices) are installed to provide workers in hot shops and areas with carbonated salt water, etc.
The requirements for creating rooms for eating are established by sanitary standards. They are contained in paragraphs 5.48–5.51 of the Code of Rules SP 44.13330.2011 “Administrative and domestic buildings. Updated version of SNiP 2.09.04-87”, approved by order of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia dated December 27, 2010 No. 782 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules). What requirements do the Rules impose on catering at work?
Thus, the Rules stipulate that when designing production enterprises, canteens should be provided, designed to provide all workers with general, dietary, and in some cases, therapeutic and preventive nutrition.
When there are hundreds of mines with more than 200 people per shift, it is necessary to provide a canteen that operates on semi-finished products, and when there are up to 200 people, a canteen-distributing area must be provided. When the number of workers in the largest shift is up to 30 people, a room for meals should be equipped.
In accordance with paragraph 2.52 of these Rules, the eating area must have a washbasin, a stationary boiler, an electric stove and a refrigerator. We believe that the boiler can be replaced with an electric kettle, and the electric stove with a microwave oven.
If the company employs up to 10 people per shift, then instead of a meal room, an additional space of 6 square meters should be provided in the dressing room. m with the installation of a table for eating.
Equipment decommissioning
Almost all office equipment objects are classified as means of mechanization. The service life of such items is more than 1 year. Typically, office equipment is taken into account as part of the operating system. During manipulations, the actual value of the property is taken into account.
Reflection of objects in accounting occurs on the basis of the acceptance certificate, which was drawn up in advance. The paperwork is completed using form 0504101. According to the new rules, today it is not necessary to draw up a similar act to account for office equipment. However, upon receipt of new property, the institution must draw up an order for the acceptance of material assets. The document is often used as the basis for recording office equipment in accounting.
The company must exercise control over the furniture that is on its balance sheet. All activities carried out for this purpose must be carried out in accordance with the company's accounting policies. In addition, the accountant must be familiar with the provisions of PBU 5/01 and PBU 6/01.
Features of furniture write-off depend on its value. If the price of an object is more than 40,000 rubles, and the period of use exceeds 1 year, the property is recorded on account 01. The original cost of the items is taken into account. When performing the write-off procedure, you will have to make the following entries:
- Dt 91 Kt 01 (residual value).
- Dt 02 Kt 01 (wear).
- Dt 10 Kt 99 (capitalization of material assets upon liquidation).
- Dt 91 Kt 99 (income from disposal).
- Dt 99 Kt 91 (loss on disposal).
Property included in this category can be written off as expenses at once. The result of the write-off is the execution of the corresponding act. It is compiled by a special commission, which includes officials working in the organization.
For various reasons, equipment may be written off. The reasons may be different and are indicated arbitrarily for printing the act. Completing the document does not require any special explanation.
Depreciation is charged at the end of the month through the month-closing transaction. Based on the parameters specified when accepting equipment for accounting, the program will automatically calculate the amount of depreciation. Depreciation begins to accrue from the next month after receipt.

Tax accounting of costs for the purchase of furniture
If the company is on the simplified tax system, all property worth less than 40,000 rubles. and is used for more than 1 year, refers to material costs (Article 257 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). The company has the right to write it off as costs under the “simplified procedure”. The basis for carrying out such manipulation is Article 346.16 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. However, the accountant must take into account Article 254 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Furniture and office equipment that cost less than 40,000 rubles are classified as low-value property. If the company incurred expenses for the purchase of items belonging to this category, the accountant has the right to reflect them in the “Income and Expenses Accounting Book” immediately after payment. There is no need to wait until the property is put into operation (Article 346.17 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

In January 2021, the organization decided to purchase a cabinet, the cost of which was 5,000 rubles. The company put the purchased property into operation and took it into account as a material value. An example of an entry that will need to be made in the “Account Book...” is presented below.
№ | Date and number | Content | Income | Expenses |
1 | Cash receipt dated January 15, 2017 No. 01234567, commissioning certificate dated January 15, 2017 No. 1 | The cost of the cabinet is reflected in the costs | – | 5000 rub. |

- “Location of OS” is the division for which equipment records will be kept.
On the “Fixed Assets” tab, select an equipment card, which must first be entered into the “Fixed Assets” directory.
This directory stores all information about fixed assets. For the most part, the equipment card is filled out automatically when you post this document. It stores information about the initial and current cost of equipment, accrued depreciation, and reference information. The data is taken from the document. When a document is changed, the data in the directory also changes.
If the company pays income tax, the “Tax Accounting” tab is also filled out. As a rule, it contains the same values as in the previous tab.
It can be seen that the equipment was registered on account 01.01.
Furniture Belongs to Fixed Assets in 2020
- The purpose of the object is to use it in the production process, when performing work or providing services, for management purposes, as well as providing it for temporary use or possession for a certain period of time for a fee.

Changes have been made to the classifier - a new OKOF will be introduced in 2021 (OK 013-2014 (SNA 2008)).

Nuances of accounting for purchased furniture
Features of accounting for furniture and office equipment depend on the price of the property and the period of its commissioning. Before proceeding to further manipulations, it is necessary to determine which category the purchase belongs to - OS or MPZ.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with: Law on Consumer Rights Return of Furniture
The amount of funds on the basis of which an object is assigned to one or another classification differs for accounting and tax accounting. If in the first case, in order to be classified as fixed assets, an item must cost at least 40,000 rubles, then in the second situation, depreciation is carried out on property whose price exceeds 100,000 rubles.
Not all office equipment and inventory can be taken into account when writing off expenses. So, if there are no complaints about the purchased furniture, then the inclusion of some equipment in the documentation may raise questions among tax inspectors.
Property that was purchased | Is it possible to write off expenses using the simplified tax system and OSNO? |
Furniture objects | There will be no problems |
Technology to make office work easier | Write-off possible |
Air conditioners and heaters | The company works according to OSNO - there will be no problems The company works according to the simplified tax system - expenses are canceled |
Kitchen appliances | According to OSNO - accounting for expenses is allowed According to the simplified tax system - expenses are not included in the list of permitted ones |
