The bailiffs' IP was closed and the account was seized. Which accounts cannot be seized by bailiffs?

Russian legislation provides for the possibility of creating artificial barriers in the activities of business structures or in the event that these organizations violate laws or agreements with business partners. One of the ways of influence is arrest.

What is seizure of a current account?

The seizure of the current account of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur is one of the problematic situations in business, which it is advisable to avoid, since the inability to pay suppliers can lead to a complete stop in the activities of the company or individual entrepreneur.

Concept a Resetting your current account is given in this video:

Concept and types

Seizure of an account is the blocking of an account in order to prevent a decrease in the balance of funds in the company’s account by prohibiting any transactions on it. The main purposes of seizure:

  • ensuring the fulfillment of obligations of an individual entrepreneur under credit and tax obligations;
  • checking the legality and “purity” of funds received from some dubious financial transactions;
  • guarantee of investigative actions in case of detection of suspicions of illegal actions of the company management.

Initiating authorities

To talk specifically about the regulatory support for the seizure of the RS of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur, it is necessary to accurately determine the circle of organizations (persons) that have the right to initiate and (or) make a decision on the seizure of funds in a bank account. These include:

  • arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction (it all depends on the type of litigation - civil or between legal entities);
  • bailiffs (bailiffs);
  • Federal Tax Service authorities;
  • authorities of the Federal Customs Service;
  • territorial divisions of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service;
  • if there is a suspicion that the company (IP) is conducting operations with signs of acts prohibited by legislation on financial monitoring.

Regulatory regulation

The procedure for seizing the current account of an enterprise (IP) is worked out in great detail in Russian legislation and is regulated by the following regulations:

  • Federal Law No. 395-1 “On Banks and Banking Activities” dated December 2, 1990 (Article 27);
  • Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (Article 115);
  • Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation (Article 91);
  • Federal Law No. 229 “On Enforcement Proceedings” dated October 2, 2007;
  • Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 31, 70);
  • Federal Law No. 311 “On customs regulation in the Russian Federation” dated November 27, 2010 (Article 155);
  • Federal Law No. 115 “On combating money laundering (legalization) of proceeds from crime dated 08/07/2001 (Article 8).

About the features and rules of blocking the account for a failed declaration is explained by a specialist in the video below:

Grounds for arrest

It is important to understand that a ban on a company conducting transactions on its own current account cannot be created just like that, without reason. It is logical that such actions by authorized bodies are carried out only in the presence of justified violations of the law or suspicions of such violations.

  • Federal Tax Service Bodies may want to seize the tax agent's account for the following reasons:
    • the presence of fines, penalties and other payments provided for by the current legislation of the Russian Federation;
    • failure to deliver within the stipulated time frame;
    • failure to submit tax returns on time;
    • lack of confirmation from the taxpayer of receipt of documents that the tax office sent to the recipient.
  • Customs authorities have the right to block the account of an enterprise only in case of failure to make payments on customs obligations on time.
  • Bailiffs make a decision to freeze the account only if there are the following grounds:
    • the court's decision;
    • the need to guarantee the ability to fulfill the requirements of a lawsuit against an organization or individual entrepreneur on the part of other legal entities or individuals.
  • Court may make a decision to arrest the RS if there is:
    • statements from the organization’s creditors about facts of failure to fulfill obligations to them;
    • supplier statements;
    • a lawsuit by company employees, which involves;
    • petitions from authorized state bodies.

Example of a statement in the BSC

Procedure

Let's consider several options for the procedure.

Option #1

A creditor or other organization that has a claim against the defendant files a lawsuit against him. In parallel with the statement of claim for the recovery of funds (or a little later), a petition is filed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of the claim (or a statement of arrest of the settlement account). The court makes a decision to satisfy the petition (application). After this, the court decision is sent to the bailiff organization. Based on the information received, the bailiffs open enforcement proceedings and issue an order to seize the account, which is sent to the bank where the account is opened.

Let us note the presence of one nuance.

  • If all details and account balances are known, then the FSSP issues a decision to seize the funds, indicating the amount.
  • If the details and account balances are not known, then the FSSP will decide to freeze all the company’s accounts.

Option No. 2

  1. The tax inspectorate, on the basis of its powers, makes a decision to arrest the account.
  2. This decision is sent to the bank and is mandatory.
  3. The bank does not have the right to carry out debit transactions on the account in full or within the blocked amount.

Option #3

The decision to seize funds in the account is made by the Federal Customs Service. The procedure is similar to option No. 2. Similarly, funds can be seized for up to 30 days by order of the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring, which is sent to the bank where the company’s (enterprise, individual entrepreneur) accounts are opened.

How to check a PC for arrest

Since 2014, an online service called “System for informing banks about the status of processing electronic documents” has been operating on the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. The work of this service is aimed at providing banks and other interested organizations with information about the presence/absence of blocking of accounts of a certain company. To obtain information, you must send a request indicating the following data:

  • the goal is to obtain data on the suspension of operations;
  • TIN and ;

The system will process the information within the time limits established by law and a letter will be sent to the email specified in the request with information about the presence/absence of restrictions imposed on the company's account.

How to pay salary

It is clear that the organization is obliged to pay its employees the money they earn. The following payment methods are allowed:

  • in cash through the company's cash desk. For example, a company received cash from a product buyer and does not deposit it in a bank account, but pays wages to employees;
  • at another bank. Please note that all operations must be carried out urgently (for example,), since information about the account will reach the tax authorities in a few days and it may also be blocked;

If it is not possible to pay the salary using the above methods, the company is obliged to contact the relevant government authorities with an explanation of the reasons for not paying the salary on time.

Possibility of opening a new PC

According to paragraph 12 of Art. 76 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the bank in which the account is opened has no right if the old current account is blocked. This prohibition applies even if the organization decides.

The organization has the right to open a new account in another bank, but there are some nuances:

  • Before opening an account, the bank can use the online service of the Federal Tax Service and understand that the company has a blocked account. Based on this information, a refusal to open a new account is possible;
  • The bank is obliged to report this fact to the Federal Tax Service within 7 days after opening a new account. It is clear that the tax office may block this account.

How to get around sanctions

There are three legal ways to bypass the arrest of a personal account:

  1. opening a bank account in another bank and urgently carrying out important operations;
  2. conducting transactions using cash;

What can a bailiff take for debts?

Writ of execution - it is necessary to understand that the bailiff begins to look for the debtor and all his property only after receiving the writ of execution and the start of enforcement proceedings. This entire procedure can only begin following the results of the trial and a court decision that has entered into force.

Debtor's memo: what bailiffs can take away

For two years the borrower regularly paid off the principal and interest, then he stopped paying. Now Sergei owes the bank 230 thousand rubles. The man does not work, and all his property is pledged against other loans. As a result, the bailiffs placed a security lien on the guarantor’s car, the value of which was three times the amount of the debt.

What can bailiffs take for debts?

  • request from the debtor the necessary information regarding enforcement proceedings and personal data;
  • check one or more identification documents;
  • enter the premises that belong to the debtor and inspect it; if the bailiff cannot do this by a voluntary decision of the citizen, he has the right to take coercive measures;
  • if the debtor shows resistance up to the point of threatening the life of the performers, within the framework of the law it is allowed to use special means and firearms;
  • call debtors to the regional department of the FSSP to resolve issues regarding enforcement documents;
  • check financial documents on the debtor’s income in the accounting department of his employer;
  • arrest, seize or transfer for storage the property of the debtor;
  • impose restrictions on bank accounts and cards, valuables stored in safes in the amount specified in the executive document;
  • sell property;
  • put the debtor, his children and property on the wanted list;
  • get help from employees of internal affairs agencies, migration registration, and the FSB.

What bailiffs cannot arrest from individual entrepreneurs

The seizure of property is preceded by a huge amount of work, which the bailiff carries out so that the debtor voluntarily fulfills the requirements of the writ of execution. And he had a debt for an accident of thousands of 300 rubles, plus a tax debt as an individual entrepreneur.

Debtors' rights: be prepared for a bailiff's visit

Finding yourself in debt is as easy as shelling pears: late payment of utilities, transport or land taxes, alimony, late repayment of a mortgage or other bank loan. If you were unable to repay the debt voluntarily after it was recognized by the court, you need to prepare to communicate with bailiffs. Including their arrival “to visit” the house.

Seizure of the debtor's property by bailiffs

Debtors who refuse to fulfill their debt obligations often try to hide property from FSSP employees by selling it or registering it in the name of relatives. To prevent such behavior, bailiffs have the right to seize the debtor’s property at any stage of enforcement proceedings.

What bailiffs cannot arrest from individual entrepreneurs

Let's say a bank sues you for non-payment of a loan. And the court decided: you must pay the bank a certain amount. Next, the case is transferred to the bailiffs to collect this amount from you. Most people don't know what bailiffs can and can't afford.

What bailiffs cannot arrest by law

Art. 446 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation determines which property of the debtor cannot be subject to judicial foreclosure. That is, you should know that a bailiff, having come to your home, has the right to seize only what is permitted by law, that is, what is not included in the exclusive list. Following all the latest amendments, this list includes:

  • The debtor's only home, unless it is purchased with a mortgage. That is, the bailiffs cannot seize the only apartment in which you live.
  • The land on which the debtor's only home is built, unless this land was purchased with a mortgage.
  • All your household items: clothes, shoes, personal hygiene items, cosmetics, kitchen utensils, etc., except for luxury items: paintings, jewelry, antiques. Here the boundaries between a household item and a luxury item are quite arbitrary, and the cost of the item is often taken as the starting point. For example, a demi-season coat will not be seized, but a mink coat will most likely be seized, but only if it is in good condition or new.
  • Professional equipment, unless its cost is more than 100 minimum wages. That is, if you are a locksmith, a set of your locksmith tools or even special electrical equipment necessary for your professional activities are not subject to seizure.
  • Domestic animals, birds, insects bred not for profit, as well as their feed, pastures, outbuildings for their maintenance. We are, of course, not talking about a parrot or a cat; they will not be arrested. But if you have a cow living in your yard, you will have to prove that the family budget does not receive any profit from it.
  • Food products.
  • Money in the amount of the subsistence minimum for the debtor himself and for all persons dependent on him. This refers to cash that was in the house at the time of the bailiffs’ visit.
  • Fuel for cooking, as well as for heating the home for the entire heating season (wood, coal, natural gas in cylinders, gasoline, etc.).
  • A car and/or wheelchair and other necessary property of a disabled debtor.
  • State awards, prizes, medals, and other insignia with which the debtor was awarded for his services.

Seizure of the Property of an Individual Entrepreneur

Seizure can be imposed on any property that is at the disposal of the debtor. Except that by law he cannot be arrested. First of all, this is housing. But only if it is the only place to live. If the debtor has a country house or a plot of land, then this property may be seized.

What property is not subject to seizure by bailiffs: list and explanations

Quite a lot of questions still remain. For example, can high-value clothing, such as a fur coat, be confiscated? In fact, no, they cannot, because it is an item of clothing, but if something like this does happen, the debtor has the right to file a lawsuit and return the property back. But more on this procedure below.

Seizure of the debtor's property by bailiffs: grounds and exceptions

  • be guided by the laws, not violate the rights of debtors and not exceed official authority;
  • carry out enforcement proceedings, the essence of which is the forced execution of decisions issued by judicial or other authorities;
  • timely take measures to implement the instructions specified in the resolution;
  • provide the seized property with conditions for storage and sale;
  • search for debtors and their property subject to seizure;
  • observe professional ethics when working with debtors;
  • when implementing the decision, be guided by the court decision and resolve controversial issues.

Which accounts cannot be seized by bailiffs?

The simplest and most effective method is to pay off all debts and start using your salary account again. But such an opportunity is not always available. You can also go to the creditor and ask him to withdraw the claim from the court, but this will most likely require partial repayment of the loan.

What to do if bailiffs have seized (blocked) a bank card

In fact, the procedure for lifting an arrest is always the same. You get acquainted with the bailiff and the documents that he provided to you, usually this is a writ of execution where the claimant is indicated and a resolution to initiate enforcement proceedings. After familiarization, you can unblock the card to which the salary is received by writing an application and attaching a certificate from the accounting department, which indicates that the salary and its amount are received on this card, or a certificate from the bank, or both. In the application, demand that the card be unblocked, citing the fact that the funds on it are the only source of livelihood. Be sure to take a document from the bailiff that confirms that you have submitted an application, usually this is an inventory of the documents submitted, but the best option is to make 2 copies of the application, leave one with the bailiff, and on yours the bailiff should put a date and a mark indicating acceptance of the application.
