Fines for late filing of tax reports in 2026
For late filing of tax reports, the fine is imposed on the responsible official: 10 BCA (base calculation amount) for the head of an organisation, 3 BCA for the head of a micro or small enterprise, and 1 BCA for a sole trader (individual entrepreneur) (Article 175 of the Code of Administrative Offences). There is no fine if it is a first violation, the report is filed within 30 days of the violation being discovered, and the tax is paid in full.
Amount of the fine
| Who is fined | Amount |
|---|---|
| Head of an organisation (other than micro and small enterprises) | 10 BCA |
| Head of a micro-firm or small enterprise | 3 BCA |
| Sole trader (individual entrepreneur) | 1 BCA |
BCA is the base calculation amount. From 1 August 2025 it was 412,000 soum, so 10 BCA is 4,120,000 soum. The BCA is raised periodically, so check the current amount before calculating.
When the fine can be avoided
The fine does not apply if all three conditions are met at the same time:
- it is a first violation;
- the report is filed within 30 calendar days of the violation being discovered;
- the tax is paid in full.
A violation counts as repeated if it is committed within a year after the previous penalty was enforced. Liability can be imposed within one year from the date of the violation.
What changed in 2026
- From 1 October 2026, a fine can be paid at 50% if it is paid within a month; the rest is written off.
- You can arrange a 6-month instalment plan by paying 1/6 of the amount upfront.
- If several report forms have not been filed, according to reviews of the 2026 changes, a single overall fine applies instead of a separate fine for each form.
How to avoid a fine
The simplest way is to keep a calendar of deadlines and file reports in advance, even if the company has no turnover. This also applies to "dormant" companies; more in our article "Do you need to file reports if your company isn't operating". If you outsource your accounting to us, we are responsible for the deadlines: if a fine arises through our error, we reimburse it under the contract.
