NalogTrek: income and tax tracker

Receipts are easy to forget when you invoice a few clients a week, and a missed one can turn into a fine. NalogTrek is a Telegram bot for Russian self-employed people and sole proprietors that logs income, calculates tax, and nudges you before a receipt deadline passes. 🧾

Tax calculated for your regime

You pick the tax regime you work under (the professional income tax, the simplified system, or another one) and add each payment you receive. The bot shows how much tax that income carries.

No rate tables, no spreadsheet formulas. You log the money, you see the number.

The 2.4 million ruble ceiling

The professional income tax regime has an annual cap of 2.4 million rubles. Cross it and you lose access to the regime, so you need to know where you stand before accepting a large order.

NalogTrek tracks that number from your entries and shows how much room is left. That makes it easier to plan a busy season instead of finding out in December. 📊

A reminder before the fine

A self-employed person has to issue a receipt for every payment received. The bot's own description warns that a late receipt can cost between 20% and 100% of the payment amount.

NalogTrek reminds you to issue the receipt before the deadline. If you work with many small clients, this is the feature that saves the most trouble.

• Income log. Amount, client or order, date.
• Tax calculation. Based on the regime you selected.
• Limit tracking. Total for the year and what remains.
• Receipt reminders. Sent while there is still time to act.

Compare regimes using your own numbers

People argue endlessly about whether the professional income tax or the simplified system costs less. Generic tables give an average, but your real income pattern can point the other way.

The bot lets you compare what you would pay under different regimes using your own records. That is useful before you switch regimes or register as a sole proprietor. 🤔

A few facts about the professional income tax

The rate depends on who pays you. In the general case it is 4% on income from individuals and 6% on income from companies and sole proprietors. Tax is due by the 28th of the following month, and the tax service calculates it from the receipts you issued.

The bot does not replace the official app where receipts are created and stored. It helps you keep your own records and miss nothing. Compare important totals with the tax service data.

A routine that takes two minutes

1. Log the income the day you receive it, while the order details are fresh.
2. Issue the receipt right after payment instead of leaving it for the evening.
3. Once a month, check the bot's totals against the tax service report.
4. Watch the annual cap during your busiest months.

At the end of the year you will not have to rebuild your income from chats and bank statements. ✅

Free, with no cap on entries

According to the bot's own description, it is free and does not limit the number of entries. For income tracking that matters, because a freelancer with hundreds of small payments does not have to choose a plan.

Income records are personal financial data, so keep what you send to a minimum. Passport details, banking passwords, and SMS codes are never needed for bookkeeping.
