Checks are different! Green and red ...
These are not poems. A check is generally the prose of life. If we exclude the meaning of the word “check” as a plot of a cultivated field for rice cultivation, then the remaining meanings
of this English word, the cheque means, strictly speaking, paper. Only papers called checks are different.
In dictionaries, for example with Ozhegov, a check is, firstly, a security with the order of the owner of the money stored in the bank, to give out to the bearer of the check the amount determined by the depositor. And secondly, a check is a receipt or coupon that contains the amount received by the seller in payment for the goods by the buyer. That is, strictly speaking, a check is a document confirming the conduct of any operation related to the circulation of funds.
About memorable privatization checks in the article this speech will not go.
So what is a bank check? The English verb to checker is translated into Russian as “graph, unzip”. If anyone remembers, there was such an instrument for counting - an abacus, which is a framed board. This tool gave the name to what is now called a bank check. A bank check is a payment document.
Actually, what a bank check is, we have a certain idea. At least in Hollywood films, where brutal beauties, with a white-toothed smile, take out an oblong little book from the inside pocket of their jacket, write something on it, then tear off a piece of paper and give it to some store clerk. And he, gallantly smiling, presents a flirty box with some jewelry to the coquettish companion of the drawer.
In Russia, such forms of settlements between an individual and a legal entity are not common. But many organizations have checkbooks for receiving cash from a bank. They are stored under the key at the chief accountant and filled out by one person.
But what is a cash receipt like a receipt? And why are they sometimes called
fiscal? Actually, everything is simple: you buy a product, pay money for it, and in confirmation of the fact that
this product, which was the property of the store before the purchase, has now passed into your ownership, you receive a paper - a cash receipt. This paper is all covered with numbers and letters, some of which are required for a cash register receipt, and some are optional details. A fiscal check is a cash receipt with signs of a fiscal regime. Signs of the fiscal regime - this is a mandatory requisite of a cash receipt.
This word - fiscal - was introduced into use by the Russian inhabitants even Peter the Great. There was an institute of fiscals under him, the duties of which included the implementation of secret administrative, financial and judicial supervision. It’s clear that Peter didn’t come up with a good life to follow the treasury in this way, but we have what we have: he didn’t keep track of it, and left this practice as an inheritance. The fiscal mode when applying CCP provides the registration of fiscal data in a special device - fiscal memory of the cash register. That is, for the proper taxation of the organization selling us the goods, it is necessary to carefully fix the volume of its sales. For this purpose, the cash register is intended on which cash receipts with fiscal data are printed.
