 **Title: 3 Legal Changes in April That Will Hit Your Business** April 2026 brought three judicial surprises that are already hitting your wallet. If you work with reporting, personnel, or inspections — read carefully. **First:** Tax authorities have started reflecting OKVED codes of the reporting type in extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL) and the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP). Previously, this was a technical detail — now it's grounds for refusal of registration, licenses, or subsidies. The transition period is extended until 2028, but the first stage has already begun. If your code does not match what Rosstat considers "reporting" — be prepared for surprises when submitting documents. **Second:** The court upheld a fine for submitting EFS-1 on paper. An organization could not submit electronically due to the dismissal of the manager with an electronic signature — the fund still fined them. The court sided with the fund: the absence of an electronic signature is not an excuse. If your company has only one person with an electronic signature for everyone — that's your risk zone. **Third:** Here's good news — the court overturned a SFR fine for failing to provide information on contributions for injuries. Why? The fund violated the inspection procedure: it requested documents but did not formalize it as a desk audit according to regulations. Conclusion: procedure is your weapon. If the SFR or tax authorities violate the order — this is grounds for canceling sanctions. What unites these three cases? Paper reporting and procedural errors cost real money.
