Filing the 20-OPP Application

Every entrepreneur knows that you need to pay taxes and submit reports on time. That’s the basics. But there are also less obvious things that are easy to forget, and then you get a fine. One of these tricky things is the 20-OPP application form. It’s not even a report, but simply a notification for the tax authorities. But if you don’t submit it, the fines will be very real. Let’s figure out together with “BuhalteriO” how to avoid this trap.

Form 20-OPP: What, Who, and When to Submit?

Remember the main rule: as soon as something new appears in your business through which you work or earn money, you have 10 working days to inform the tax authorities about it. No later! This applies to any change: from renting a tiny office to buying a truck.

Sounds a bit vague? Let’s look at specific, real-life examples of what you need to report:

• You’ve rented an office, a warehouse, or a space for a store.
• You’ve purchased a vehicle for work trips or goods delivery.
• You’ve installed a coffee machine, a payment terminal, or a cash register (RRO/PRRO).
• Even if you’ve created a website through which you accept payments.

Of course, this is far from everything. The main idea is that if an object is somehow related to your work and income, you need to report it. Timely submission of the 20-OPP application is your peace of mind and confidence that the tax authorities know where and how you work.

What are the Fines for Not Filing the 20-OPP in 2025?

And now for the most unpleasant part: what happens if you forget about this application? In short, fines. And although the amounts are not astronomical, they will definitely hit your pocket, especially if you are an individual entrepreneur. This is a case where a small oversight leads to real financial losses.

So that you don’t think we’re scaring you, but see the real numbers, here is a simple table with the fines for 2025.

As you can see, the numbers speak for themselves. The most frustrating thing is that the tax authorities may not detect this violation immediately, but after a year or two, and then the conversation will be different. You must agree, one forgotten 20-OPP application can cost more than a consultation with a good accountant.

Why is it Better to Entrust the Filing of the 20-OPP to “BuhalteriO”?

“Okay,” you might say, “can’t I fill out this form myself?” Of course, you can. But, as our experience shows, this is where the problems begin. What “object type” should be chosen for a laptop? What should be written in the “status” column if the premises are rented? How to correctly specify the identifier? Because of such trifles, the application may simply not be accepted.

What we do at “BuhalteriO” so you don’t even have to think about it:

1. We will carefully study your activities and tell you which specific objects need to be reported.
2. We will fill out and submit the 20-OPP form ourselves through the electronic cabinet.
3. We will make sure that the tax office has received and registered your notification.
4. We will explain in simple language what to do next, if necessary.

In essence, we make sure that this process goes completely unnoticed for you and, most importantly, correctly. It’s like taking your car to a service center—you just pick it up ready, confident that everything is working as it should.

Why wait for a “letter of happiness” from the tax office? It is much easier and cheaper to do everything right from the start and sleep peacefully.
