The Taxpayer Legal Entity application is an official application developed by the tax service of the Russian Federation for generating and submitting reports via the internet. The application generates the correct file format for submission through a company's personal account on the tax service website.
The application contains all necessary reporting formats for individual entrepreneurs, as well as for companies. The application is distributed free of charge and receives regular updates.
The application can be installed locally on a workstation or on a local network, i.e., on a network drive under the Microsoft Windows operating system.
1. Full application installation on VDS
To ensure all data is stored on the server (in our example, a VDS), the application must be fully installed on the virtual machine (Full installation). By default, it is installed on drive "C" at the address:
C:\Налогоплательщик ЮЛ\INPUTDOC
To be able to run the application from the server, you need to make the Налогоплательщик ЮЛ folder accessible over the network in the folder settings and connect it as a drive on the desired computer.
1.2 Launching and configuring the application
Launch the application from the VDS server via RDP and configure your company. If you have a backup, transfer the data using the application menu.
1.2.1 Database export
Service -> Save Information
1.2.2 Database import
Service -> Restore Information
1.3 Client-side installation
Run the installer on the workstation where the network version is planned to be used, in installation mode - Client-side, and specify the path to the network drive.
No files will be replaced; this is only for linking.
The installer will automatically create a shortcut on the desktop; if not, create it yourself, following this example:
network_drive\INPUTDOC\inputdoc.exe
2. Launching the application
Launch the application from the workstation; it should work and have all data, as it is actually launched from the network drive.
We have provided an excerpt from the official guide; as we understand it, it does not support simultaneous use by multiple users, but it does allow storing and using it on the server for access from different devices sequentially.
Using and launching the application from the server allows updating it only there, which simplifies work and adds mobility and security of use.
Please note. When launching the application over the network, depending on your internet connection speed, slight delays in response may be observed. In any case, it is always possible to work with the application via RDP, especially with a weak mobile internet signal.
Taxpayer Legal Entity on a virtual server is an excellent solution for a small company. Such a setup allows remote access to data from different devices.
Purchase virtual servers with Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system with a license; this is not only convenient but also profitable, as the license payment is a one-time fee.
