  • 23.04.2024

The chart of accounts and the Instructions for its use to summarize information on income that is received (accrued) in one reporting period, but relates to future reporting periods, is intended for the passive synthetic account 98 “Income for future periods” (). We will tell you what is taken into account in this account in our consultation.

Accounting for fixed assets and other property received free of charge

Objects of fixed assets received by an organization under a gift agreement (free of charge) are reflected at market value at the time of acceptance for accounting as part of investments in non-current assets as deferred income (clause 29 of Order of the Ministry of Finance dated October 13, 2003 No. 91n, Letter of the Ministry of Finance dated September 17. 2012 No. 07-02-06/223, Order of the Ministry of Finance dated October 31, 2000 No. 94n):

Debit of account 08 “Investments in non-current assets” - Credit of account 98

During the useful life of the received object, future income is included in other income of the current period:

Debit account 86 “Targeted financing” - Credit account 98

Debit of account 98 – Credit of account 91 “Other income and expenses”

If budget funds are received to finance current expenses, then the posting of Debit to Account 86 – Credit to Account 98 is made, for example, at the time the inventory is accepted for accounting. And when they are released into production or for other purposes, future income is written off: Debit account 98 – Credit account 91.

Deferred income under a leasing agreement

For the case when, under the terms of the leasing agreement, the property is recorded on the balance sheet of the lessee, the difference between the total amount of lease payments and the cost of the leased property is reflected in the lessor’s accounting as follows (clause 4 of Appendix No. 1

Debit of account 76 “Settlements with various debtors and creditors” - Credit of account 98

At the time of receipt of the lease payment, the portion of future income attributable to it is written off as follows (clause 6 of Appendix No. 1 to Order of the Ministry of Finance dated February 17, 1997 No. 15):

Debit account 98 – Credit account 90 “Sales”

Cash accounts or settlements with debtors and creditors reflect the amounts of income relating to future reporting periods, and debit accounts reflect the amounts of income transferred to the corresponding accounts upon the onset of the reporting period to which these incomes relate.

for fixed assets received free of charge - as depreciation is calculated;


for other material assets received free of charge - as production costs (sales costs) are written off to accounts.


Analytical accounting for subaccount 98-2 “Gratuitous receipts” is maintained for each gratuitous receipt of valuables.


Subaccount 98-3 “Upcoming debt receipts for shortfalls identified in previous years” takes into account the movement of upcoming debt receipts for shortfalls identified in the reporting period for previous years.

At the same time, these amounts are credited score 94"Shortages and losses from damage to valuables" in correspondence with score 73“Settlements with personnel for other operations” (sub-account “Settlements for compensation of material damage”).


As the debt for shortfalls is repaid, the account “Settlements with personnel for other operations” is credited in correspondence with the cash accounts while simultaneously reflecting the amounts received on the loan accounts 91“Other income and expenses” (profits of previous years identified in the reporting year) and the debit of account 98 “Deferred income”.


Subaccount 98-4 “The difference between the amount to be recovered from the guilty persons and the cost of shortages of valuables” takes into account the difference between the amount recovered from the guilty persons for missing material and other valuables and the value listed in the organization’s accounting records.
