Violation of Russian law entails the adoption of appropriate measures. A committed administrative offense is threatened by the drawing up of a protocol or other relevant document, according to which an appropriate decision is made, a warning or the imposition of penalties. This penalty applies to both natural and legal persons. But, as a rule, legal entities are punished more severely.
The imposition of penalties against legal entities is the most common type of administrative punishment. Fines are provided for by most articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses and other legislative acts.
Legal entities can be punished for a lot. In particular, in 2018, punishment is provided for the non-use of cash registers and the absence of an online cash register, for the absence of a tachograph on vehicles - passenger buses and heavy vehicles, for violations by management organizations of posting information on the GIS Housing and Utilities website.
In accordance with part 2 of article 14.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, in case of non-use of CCP, officials and individual entrepreneurs are fined from ¼ to ½ of the amount of the calculation without the use of cash registers, but not less than 10 thousand rubles. For legal entities without the use of CRE, legislation provides for a fine from ¾ to one size, the amount of calculation using cash or electronic means of payment, but not less than 30 thousand rubles. The same amount of a fine is imposed for work without a cash register, for a check that was not punched at the cash register, and also for the absence of an online cash register.
If the amount of calculation without the use of CRE was 1 million rubles or more, for a repeated violation in accordance with part 3 of Article 14.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, officials are subject to disqualification for a period of one to two years. In relation to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, administrative suspension of activities is applied for up to 90 days.
As for the tachograph on vehicles, the traffic police inspector can issue a fine:
- for the absence of the device,
- for trying to block it,
- for trying to correct his work,
- for an installed non-conforming device,
- for a digital tachograph, not reinforced with a cryptographic protection unit,
- for an AETR tachograph without a UK access card for international transport,
- for an analog tachograph.
In 2018, the amount of punishment in this case, in accordance with Article 11.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, for officials (legal entities) will be from 5 thousand rubles to 10 thousand rubles. For citizens, the amount of the fine is slightly less - from 1,000 to 3,000 rubles. The same amount will be paid by the driver who violates the work and rest regime.
Installation of knowingly forged state registration plates on a vehicle is fraught with a large fine. According to part 3 of article 12.2 of the Administrative Code, a legal entity in this case has the right to punish 400,000 - 500,000 rubles. The fine for an official for this violation is 15,000-20,000 rubles.
The management company has the right to punish if it:
did not post information on the GIS Housing and Communal Services portal, posted information not in full or in a knowingly distorted form, violated the methods, terms or procedure for posting information.
For violation of these requirements, in accordance with Article 13.19.2 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, a fine of up to 5,000-10,000 rubles is provided. Earlier - before the adoption of the Federal Law of December 29, 2017 No. 437-FZ "On Amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation" - this amount was much higher - 30,000 rubles.
