How to open an IP step by step instructions 2019

Step 1. Prepare an application P21001 for opening an IP

Currently, online services for preparing documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs and LLCs are gaining popularity. Their main advantage, in addition to speed and convenience, is the correct filling out of an application for state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur in the form P21001, an error in which may result in a refusal to register an individual entrepreneur.

Approach the issue of filling out this application with all responsibility, because the new form P21001 is machine-readable, which means that any deviation from the standard may result in a refusal to register an individual entrepreneur. In case of refusal, you will have to fill out and re-submit the application, as well as re-pay the state duty of 800 rubles.

Attention! When specifying the code of the subject of the Russian Federation 77 (Moscow) or 78 (St. Petersburg), clause 6.4. The city is not full.

The choice of OKVED should be approached carefully, choosing the OKVED code that corresponds specifically to your field of activity, so that in further work there are no questions and claims from regulatory agencies. Preliminarily familiarize yourself with the types of activities prohibited for individual entrepreneurs.

Attention! One code must contain at least 4 digits. Additional codes are entered line by line from left to right.



4. On Sheet B of the application, we indicate the procedure for issuing documents and a contact phone number. Fields Full name and the applicant's signature are filled in only by hand in black ink in the presence of a tax inspector when applying for state registration. It is not required to certify your signature with a notary when personally submitting documents for registration of IP.

If you have any difficulties filling out the P21001 application form or you are afraid of making a mistake and getting a refusal, we recommend using the free online service for preparing documents for registering an individual entrepreneur provided by our partner.

Step 2. Choose an IP taxation system

It is necessary to decide on the taxation system before submitting an application for opening an IP, since the regime will be applied from the date of registration of the IP. A notice of the future taxation regime can be submitted immediately with an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur.

The best option for beginner entrepreneurs is one of two types of simplified taxation system (STS):

Income (STS 6%)- 6% of the total amount of income is paid, while expenses are not taken into account at all and do not affect the amount of tax.

Income reduced by the amount of expenses (STS 15%)- tax is paid on the difference between income and documented expenses. The rate is 15%, but in the regions of power for different types of activities it can be reduced (the rate should be found in the regional law).

You can read about the patent taxation system (PSN) in the article - IP Patent. There is also a UTII regime (single tax on imputed income), but an application for switching to UTII is submitted only when you actually begin to carry out “imputed” activities. When registering an individual entrepreneur, such an application is not submitted. If you plan to choose UTII or PSN, it is still recommended to apply for the simplified tax system. Read more about the simplified taxation system in the article - All about the simplified tax system.



Step 3. Pay the state duty for opening an IP

The state duty for opening an IP is 800 rubles. To generate a receipt for payment of the state duty, use the service of the Federal Tax Service "Payment of state duty". Tax details are entered automatically when forming the state duty in accordance with the address you entered. After generating the receipt, you will only have to print it and pay it at any bank without commission. The service also allows you to make non-cash electronic payments with the help of partner banks of the Federal Tax Service, thus eliminating a trip to the bank.

Step 4. Check the package of documents for opening an IP and take it to the tax office

You must have an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur (one copy), a notification of the transition to the simplified tax system (two copies), the original receipt for payment of the state duty, a passport with a photocopy of it. At the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate, in the presence of a tax inspector, fill out the full name field with a pen with black ink. and put the applicant's signature on Sheet B of application R21001. As a result, the inspector will issue you a receipt of receipt of the documents submitted by the applicant to the registration authority.

You can find out the address, work schedule and telephone numbers of the tax office at the place of your registration using the "" service.

You can track the state of readiness of documents using the service "Information about legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in respect of which documents for state registration are submitted".

Step 5. Take the documents evidencing the opening of an individual entrepreneur from the regulatory authorities

After 3 working days, the documents on registration of IP (subject to the correct execution of the documents submitted for registration) will be ready.

To receive them, you must have a passport with you and a receipt for receiving documents (issued by the inspector of the Federal Tax Service when submitting documents for registration of an individual entrepreneur);

Upon successful registration of IP, you will be issued the following documents:

Certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur with the specified OGRNIP number (the main state registration number of an individual entrepreneur);

Certificate of registration - a document on the assignment of TIN (taxpayer identification number). It indicates the IFTS, to which you will need to report, your TIN and the date of registration;

Record sheet of the unified state register of individual entrepreneurs (USRIP record sheet).

The application of the USN will confirm the second copy of the notification (you submit two copies when registering an IP, one with a tax mark remains with you). If necessary, in addition to the IFTS, you can request an information letter on the application of the simplified tax system. It is sometimes required by counterparties to confirm the application of the simplified taxation system.



Step 6. Wait for a response from the FIU on registering an individual entrepreneur

After registering an individual entrepreneur, information is automatically transferred to the FIU, where the entrepreneur is also registered. This is necessary to pay fixed contributions IP. You will receive registration documents by mail to your registration address. If within a month there is no response from the fund, you should contact the FIU (in person or by phone). You may need to come to the FIU to obtain documents.

You will need to take with you:

A copy and original of the IP Registration Certificate (the document where the OGRNIP number is indicated);

A copy and original of the USRIP record sheet.

An individual entrepreneur without employees is not registered with the FSS.

Step 7. Get IP statistics codes

A notification (letter) on the assignment of statistics codes is issued by Rosstat. This document is for informational purposes only and is not mandatory. But, in addition to other codes, it indicates an important code - OKPO, which is needed when compiling reports. In addition, some banks still require notification of codes when opening a checking account. Therefore, it is better to have this document on hand. You can receive and print a notification with statistics codes on your own on the website or by contacting your branch of Rosstat.

Step 8. Print IP

The use of seals is being phased out and sole proprietors are not required to have one. However, in some cases, a seal is still required (for example, when issuing a power of attorney to the court). In addition, the customs of business turnover still keep the memory of seals. Counterparties will trust and trust your documents more if they are imprinted. Therefore, we recommend making an IP seal. There are no requirements for the print, usually stamp manufacturers have ready-made forms and print samples. In the future, you can apply your print as needed.



Step 11. Decide if you will have employees

If an individual entrepreneur will hire employees (under an employment or civil law contract), then it is necessary to additionally register separately as an employer with the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund. It is not necessary to do this directly when registering an IP. When there is a need for workers, then before concluding the first contract with the physical. an individual entrepreneur should go through the procedure of registration as an employer in the FIU and the FSS. Registration as an employer and the presence of employees will require you to submit additional reports to the FIU and the FSS.

Step 12. Submit a notice of IP activity

The commencement of some activities must be reported. The notification is submitted not upon the fact that the OKVED code is indicated in the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur, but when you actually begin to carry out the corresponding type of activity.

The notification is submitted by individual entrepreneurs working in the field of retail trade, the provision of transport services and services to the population (individuals). A complete list of specific types of activities that need to be notified is contained in Appendix No. 1 to the Rules approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 16, 2009 No. 584.

Step 13. Choose where to keep documents and how to submit IP reports

Keep records of your activities from the first day. The book of accounting for income and expenses is maintained according to established rules, transactions, income and expenses should be recorded from the very beginning. And the first payment to the budget (for optimal taxation) is to be made at the end of the current quarter.

Options may be as follows:

Hire an accountant;

Understand everything on your own, keep accounts in Excel, and submit reports personally to the Federal Tax Service or send them by mail;

An individual entrepreneur (individual entrepreneur) is an individual who has proper registration and conducts entrepreneurial activities without registering a legal entity.

Based on Article 23, part one of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, any capable citizen of Russia or another country has the right to conduct his own entrepreneurial activity in Russia.

Why open an IP at all?

Registration of an individual entrepreneur entails avoiding personal income taxes (PIT), reducing payments to the PFR (Pension Fund of the Russian Federation) and the FSS (Social Insurance Fund). On the other hand, the official registration of IP opens up more opportunities for you in cooperation with various firms and companies that prefer, interacting with your organization, transfer money to settlement accounts by bank transfer, and then write it off as expenses.

At the very start of a career, it may be enough to work even without official registration, when you are not yet cooperating with large companies. But then you have to face the problems of limited capacity and the reluctance of large organizations to work with your firm - no one wants to work with illegal clients.

It is for this that you need to open an IP and go on a “big voyage”. As a result of official registration, you will be able to reach a new level, and you will have the opportunity to earn more.

What do you need to open a sole proprietorship in 2019?

Before you start collecting paperwork for registration, it will be useful for you to familiarize yourself with the following points:

• You must have a taxpayer identification number (TIN). If at the moment you do not have it, it is possible to apply for it. You can do this both along with the submission of the entire package of documents for registering an individual entrepreneur, or in advance. Only in the first case, the registration will take much more time instead of the required 5 working days.
• You should decide in advance on the most suitable taxation system for you.
• You will need to decide on the types of activities that you will be engaged in (OKVED codes). They must be specified when registering individual entrepreneurship. The code that you write first is considered first. It will determine the amount of the insurance rate of the Social Insurance Fund (FSS).

Next, we consider in more detail the second and third points from the above list.

Choosing a taxation system and OKVED codes

Let's start with the systems that determine the amount of duty paid to the state. All payments that are assigned to individual entrepreneurs are divided into 4 sections. This:

• a fixed fee that is paid to extra-budgetary funds “for oneself” (in 2019 it is 36,338 rubles, and if his income exceeds 300,000 rubles, then an additional 1% of the amount of income exceeding 300 thousand);
• established payment made to off-budget funds, which is deducted from the wages of workers (the entrepreneur must exclude 13% of a person's income working for him);
• additional taxes that are assigned in accordance with the type of activity;
• taxes assigned depending on the system of taxation you specify.

There are several payments of the latter type:

• General system of taxation.
• Special modes, which in turn are divided into:
  • simplified taxation system (STS);
  • single agricultural tax (UST);
  • single tax on imputed income (UTII);
  • the system of taxation in the implementation of production sharing agreements.

Each of them has its own characteristics and criteria by which the amount of payment is determined.

As for OKVED codes, first you need to figure out what they are.

OKVED codes or the All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity are codes with encrypted and classified all types of activities that can be used if you have your own business.

When registering an IP, it is better to immediately decide what exactly you want to do and indicate not one, but several codes. Although, on the other hand, too many of them can lead to certain problems and confusion in the numbers. From the choice of the main activity, i.e. The amount of the mandatory insurance rate depends on the first code specified during registration.

It must be borne in mind that you can only engage in the type of activity indicated during registration, and each of the types of activity has its own taxation system. They may differ depending on the region in which you will be registering.

Required documents

If you still decide to register your own business, for this you will need a certain set of papers. It looks like this:

• Passport.
• Stitched photocopy of each page of the passport. You will need it to send a set of documentation by mail.
• A receipt certifying the payment of the state fee for the registration of IP.
• A copy of the taxpayer identification number (TIN) certificate, if available.
• Application for registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur in the form P21001. If the situation is such that the one who signed this paper for some reason is not able to bring the papers in person, it is necessary to certify them with a notary to certify the signature of the applicant (1 copy).
• Application for the use of the simplified taxation system (STS) in the form No. 26.2-1 (2 copies).

After submitting the documents, you must receive a receipt for their receipt and one of the copies of the transition to a simplified tax system. When submitting documents electronically from January 1, 2019, the state duty is not paid.

We write and submit an application to the tax office

The application for registration consists of five pages. In it you need to specify your Full name, contact details (phone number and e-mail), passport details, OKVED and TIN codes. It must be filled out in block letters and legibly, so that there are no problems in the future.

How much does it cost?

When self-registering oneself as an individual entrepreneur, the amount of expenses is only 800 rubles. It is in this volume that you need to pay the state duty at the nearest branch of Sberbank of Russia to you. A receipt confirming this must be submitted along with all other documents.

Also, when going to a lawyer in order to certify your application, you will have to leave about 350 rubles more there. At the same time, he will check your document for errors so that they do not interfere with your registration as an individual entrepreneur.

What documents do you need to issue after registration?

The time for which the registration of an individual entrepreneur takes place may differ depending on the region where you will do this. But, in general, this procedure takes five working days. The date of issue of the papers will be written on the receipt that you will receive when submitting the package of documents. In the event that you are unable to pick them up in person, they will be mailed to you.

Upon completion of registration, you will receive the following documents:

• Certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur (OGRNIP).
• Evidence that you, as an individual, have been registered with a tax authority.
• Extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP) (1-4 pages).
• Certificate that you, as an individual, were registered with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of registration.
• Notification that you have been assigned statistics codes from Rosstat.

After that, you need to make copies of all the documents you received and then give them to the tax inspector.

Registration in other institutions

It may happen that you will not be given some of the above papers. To receive them, the tax office will send information that you were registered as an individual entrepreneur to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The FIU, in turn, will have to send you a certificate of registration by mail.

If this does not happen, you will have to contact them yourself, having with you the IP Registration Certificate (original and photocopy), taxpayer identification number and pension certificate.

What to do then?

After receiving all the documents that indicate that you have every right to engage in business activities, the only main rule to remember is that you are now required to pay taxes, keep documentation and records.

In order to be able to carry out non-cash payments, it will be necessary open a checking account. It will also be needed in case of concluding contracts for an amount that exceeds 100,000 rubles with other individual entrepreneurs.

To open a current account and certify your documents, you will need own seal. Thus, if you have made a seal for yourself, then with further work, one signature will no longer be enough to certify the document.

In the event that your activity involves paying for services using cash or bank cards, you will need a cash register. Although there are exceptions related to the chosen taxation system and some trading conditions.

Why can registration be denied?

The reasons why they may refuse to register you may be different. Below are the main reasons why this can happen:

• If you entered incorrect data, made mistakes or typos when filling out documents.
• If you submitted incorrect documents, or if they were not complete.
• When you submitted your documents to the wrong place.
• If you have been declared bankrupt and less than a year has passed since then.
• If a verdict was put forward to ban business activities, and its validity period has not yet expired.

As you can see, registering yourself as an individual entrepreneur is not difficult. The main thing is to follow the instructions above, and you will succeed.

If we compare the design of IP independently and through an intermediary, then each of the options has its own advantages and disadvantages. Self-registration takes a little longer to collect the proper documents and complete them, although your costs will be negligible. Making an IP with the help of an intermediary, on the contrary, takes less time, but you will need to pay him for the work. Thus, the amount you spend will increase significantly. So, the choice is yours.

Changes for 2019

Registration as an individual entrepreneur does not involve major changes. The main ones will be related to the toughening of responsibility for the commission of certain violations:

• In particular, if the registration authority doubts the reliability of the data provided by the entrepreneur, he will be able to stop the registration process for a period no more than 30 days.
• Persons who have violated the law in their previously organized entrepreneurial activities may be denied registration.
• Administrative penalties will become tougher: for example, the first time you provide incorrect information, the fine varies from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles.
• Administrative responsibility is also toughened upon registration with the use of nominees. Moreover, now it is enough to have a statement from a dummy director in order to prove the unlawfulness of the actions taken.

OKVED codes must also be defined, namely: the entrepreneur selects a type or type of occupation from the list, a code consisting of at least four characters is prescribed for each type.

OKVED codes when opening an IP

Businessmen get acquainted with this classifier, defining their activities by area, then by group. The number of selected species is not limited, but cannot be less than one.

Some species require a license. Then you will need to contact the licensing authority, which will also indicate the OKVED code for this activity.

Selection and determination of a taxation system that is more suitable for your case.

What form of taxation to choose?

Exists 5 (five) types of taxation, each of which corresponds to the regime.

1). General ( DOS) the view is assigned by default if no mode selection is made. If an entrepreneur (businessman) may consider such a regime unprofitable, undesirable, he must early when applying for an individual entrepreneur, attach an application indicating the selected type of taxation.

The application is written in the form: "On the transition to another taxation system".

The concept of OSN includes taxes:

• 20% on profit or 13% personal income tax;
• 18 percent(VAT) from sales and services rendered;
• Property tax;

If a businessman fails to pay taxes, his enterprise will be in danger of bankruptcy, as debts will accumulate.

2). UTII, that is - a single tax on imputed income, implies a specific amount of tax to be levied, in the so-called fixed form. UTII is not related to the profit of the enterprise. It is calculated from business parameters, such as the number of employees employed, the area of ​​premises for trade, the number of transport units.

But if the IP includes more than 100 (one hundred) Human, this tax cannot be selected.

Additional opportunity provided to the company with tax UTII: before 50 % reduction of insurance premiums for those registered in IP and 100 % their reduction by the owner of the enterprise.

Similar cases are considered arbitration courts and as soon as such a decision appears, the registration of an enterprise canceled . The same procedure applies to non-payment of taxes and insurance premiums.

For more details and details, read the article.

In fact, bankruptcy occurs through 3 (three months after the day when it was required to pay the obligations in case of non-payment.

The second condition of bankruptcy - the amount of debt exceeded the size of the property of the entrepreneur in monetary terms.

An application must be filed to declare a businessman bankrupt.

Which ones you need to go through, we described in a separate issue.

Who files a bankruptcy petition?

1. The entrepreneur himself.
2. Creditor.
3. by the relevant competent authorities.

We wrote about how to submit and fill out an application for, in a special article.

In the first case, the court may postpone the consideration for month, during which the entrepreneur is given the opportunity to pay off his debt to creditors. When paying off the debt of the IP, a settlement agreement can be drawn up.

10. Lending to an individual enterprise

At present, it is quite realistic to receive assistance for an individual enterprise from a bank in the form of a loan. Loans for business development are offered, loans by type "express" and other varieties.

Again, not for the first time, the entrepreneur is required to collect documents for obtaining a loan, fulfill the following conditions.

• First, the enterprise must be registered.
• The next requirement is age. from 23 years to 58.
• It is necessary to have guarantors and property that the entrepreneur can provide as collateral.
• The enterprise must exist for a year before applying to the bank.

But due to the fact that each bank has its own requirements, especially in the form of interest rates, entrepreneurs are forced to collect documents for several banks and submit them to them almost simultaneously.

The bank considers applications from a couple of days to several weeks. The result is not known in advance. A guarantor who has property for collateral is not so easy to find. And if the bank offers a very small amount corresponding to the collateral, then the entrepreneur may lose interest in the loan altogether, since it will not make sense.

special attention must be paid at the interest rate offered by the bank. If the interest payment ends up being excessive or unsustainable, a risk assessment needs to be done in advance.

It is often easier to arrange at the bank, using the money immediately for the needs of the enterprise or for its increase.

From an individual entrepreneur, a desire to cooperate with institutions that provide loans is required. To delve a little more into the proposed conditions, to reject the most stringent ones, this does not mean completely abandoning the loan and stopping the development of the enterprise. You should try to reach a decision that is satisfactory for both parties.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, both any capable citizen of the Russian Federation and a stateless person who has reached the age of majority can become an individual entrepreneur. However, in some cases, those who are not yet 18 years old also have the right to open an individual entrepreneur:

• with the written consent of the parents (guardians, adoptive parents);
• recognized as fully capable by a court decision - if there is no consent of either parents or guardians;
• those who are officially married;
• who received the conclusion (official) of the guardianship authority on full legal capacity.

Persons holding public office, as well as military personnel, cannot become an individual entrepreneur.
However, there are exceptions in practice. However, these subtleties are a completely different topic.

2. Register an individual entrepreneur on your own: it’s possible and not difficult!

Today, you can register an IP yourself by going through a short chain of steps. The trick is to be aware of which budgetary and non-budgetary bodies are waiting for notification from a newly-minted entrepreneur. If everything is done on time and correctly, you can easily avoid fines and administrative liability.

It is also possible to use special Internet services. They may ask for a fee for services, but they can also be free. With their help, all the necessary documents are prepared quickly and easily. Learn more about this below.
And of course, you can always resort to the help of qualified specialists. They will quickly and efficiently help you open a turnkey IP in a short time and a small amount.

3. What documents are required for registration of IP?

If you still decide to open an IP and collect the entire package of documents yourself, you will need:

1. Application for opening an individual entrepreneur in the form P21001;
2. State duty payment receipt - you can generate it yourself; (duty in 2018 - 800 rubles)
3. Individual taxpayer number (TIN);
4. A copy of an identity document, in this case a passport;

TIN (individual taxpayer number) can be obtained at the tax office at the place of registration (residence)

4. How to open an IP on your own in 2018 - step by step instructions

At first glance, nothing complicated, however, when you begin to dive into the process, perhaps something will seem incomprehensible. This can lead to uncertainty and doubt. But precisely in order for you to clearly and clearly imagine the algorithm of actions when registering an IP, we wrote this article. About everything in order.

Step #1. We fill out the application, select OKVED codes and pay the state duty

Let's consider each item of the above list separately.

Completing an application form P21001. Please note that this form has five sheets, information is entered by hand in block letters, or from a computer.

What you need to complete the application form:

• Your passport;
• your mobile phone number;
• directory of codes of types of economic activity - OKVED.

Check the correctness of the entered information - if there are errors, the tax office may reject your application!

Selection of OKVED codes. Most likely, you already know what exactly you will be doing. At this point, you will need to find the code assigned to your line of business and enter that code on your P21001 application. You can choose one main and several additional OKVED codes.

For example, your company will sell cosmetics in a store. Your activity has been assigned a code 47.75 and the title "Retail sale of cosmetics and perfumes in specialized stores". You must select this code in order to sell cosmetics legally.

How to choose an OKVED code, what it is and where to download - read in.

In the P21001 form, be sure to indicate the main code for the type of your activity

Important! It is necessary to decide on at least one direction of the enterprise's activity, but the law does not limit their number.

At this stage, you can choose an unlimited number of OKVED codes. However, you should not be zealous and recruit them “in reserve”, especially for those types of activities that you do not plan to carry out. Remember that for each individual selected OKVED code, you will subsequently have to file a tax return!

Note! The OKVED code must consist of at least four characters.

IN if it is necessary to license a type of activity, you should contact the special authorities with an application for a license. There you will be provided with your OKVED code. For information on what types of activities are subject to licensing in 2018, read here.

Payment of state duties. IP registration is a paid public service. You will need to generate a receipt using free tax service and pay through the cash desk of any bank 800 rubles. You must attach the original of the received receipt to the general package of documents.

Step #2. Decide where to apply

An individual entrepreneur can register with the tax authority at the place of his residence.

If the future IP does not have a permanent registration, but only a temporary one, he can submit documents to the tax authority at his place of residence.

It is very easy to find "your" tax office - a free official service on the Nalog.ru website. All you have to do is enter your address of registration / stay, and the service will “pull up” the necessary tax authority.

So, the application for registering you as an individual entrepreneur has been completed, a photocopy of the passport (all pages with marks) has been made, the state duty has been paid and the receipt stub is in your hands. What to do next?

The remote method of submitting documents is also not prohibited - through the Russian Post by registered mail with a list of attachments or through free service from the personal account of an individual entrepreneur.

After 3 working days from the date of acceptance by the tax office of your documents, you can pick up the USRIP Record Sheet. This will be the main document confirming your status as an individual entrepreneur.

Attention! Innovation: The USRIP record sheet is issued instead of the OGRN certificate from January 01, 2017.

At your request, the tax authorities can send you this document by mail.

Denial of registration

If you have all the documents in perfect order, you don’t have to worry about the refusal.

However, the following cases are likely to experience this issue:

• in the absence of any necessary document;
• if there are typographical errors in the application or inaccuracy of the specified data;
• if the candidate for entrepreneurship was declared bankrupt less than 5 years ago;
• if there is a valid injunction on business activity.

Knowing about these pitfalls, in most cases it is not difficult for an entrepreneur to bypass them.

Step #3. Choosing a taxation system

One of the key aspects of a successful business is in the right taxation system. To switch to the optimal tax payment regime, you need to know the main parameters and conditions for applying each of them.

To date, 5 taxation modes are available:

1. General Mode or DOS assigned by default. That is, if you have not taken any further action within 30 days from the date of receipt of the USRIP Record Sheet, then the Federal Tax Service automatically puts you on the general taxation system. DOS is characterized by the highest tax burden.

To prevent the Federal Tax Service from making this choice for you, you need to submit a notification about the application of the desired taxation system. This can be done simultaneously with the transfer of documents for registration of IP or within 30 days after.

Otherwise, the next reporting period, which is 12 months on the DOS, you will be subject to the following tax rates and obligations:

The general tax regime includes:

• 20% income tax or 13% personal income tax;
• 18% VAT on the sale of services and goods;
• property tax.

An individual entrepreneur should take care of his tax burden and switch to special regimes.

2. A single tax on imputed income (UTII) attracts with a fixed amount of tax that does not depend on the amount of profit. Moreover, you do not need to calculate it yourself - the state did it for you by determining or imputing to you some potential amount of income. The amount of this tax is affected only by physical indicators: the number of hired personnel, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe commercial premises, the number of vehicles, etc.

However, this mode cannot be applied if the official team of the IP has more than 100 employees, and the type of activity of the entrepreneur is not suitable for UTII. A complete list of activities permitted for the use of the UTII system is contained in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, Art. 346.26, item 2.

Good to know: In the UTII mode, it is possible to reduce up to 50% tax on the amount of insurance contributions paid in the current quarter for employees. If an individual entrepreneur works without employees, then he can reduce the size of the single tax up to 100%, reducing it by the amount of the fixed contribution paid to the Pension Fund in the current quarter.

3. Patent taxation system (PSN) also has its advantages. For example, it does not require the quarterly payment of tax and the filing of a tax return. All you need is to acquire a patent for the desired type of activity and for a certain period from 1 before 12 months. An entrepreneur on the patent system no longer shudders at the thought that he missed the deadline for filing another tax return. In the future, he only keeps a book of income and expenses.

This mode is acceptable for individual entrepreneurs with a staff no more than 15 people and annual profit not exceeding 60 million rubles.

Good to know: you can switch to PSN at any time of the tax period - the patent will be valid from the date of its issuance.

You need to apply for a patent in advance. The tax authority will issue a patent 10 days after receiving your application.

4. Simplified taxation system (USN) is the most profitable today. It is a minimum tax regime and simplified reporting. The entrepreneur can choose the base from which the tax will be calculated: only from income (gross revenue), or from profit (income minus expenses). The declaration on the USN regime is submitted once a year, and the tax is paid in advance payments for the quarter, half year and year.

An entrepreneur can switch to the simplified tax system at the stage of registration or within the first 30 days from the moment he is entered into the USRIP. If this moment is missed, then the next chance will appear only in the new year.

5. Single agricultural tax (ESHN) is identical to the simplified taxation system. However, it is available only to entrepreneurs who are engaged in the cultivation, sale, processing of agricultural products.

Attention, innovation! From 01/01/2017, entrepreneurs providing services to producers of agricultural products have also received the right to apply the ESHN.

It should be noted that the legislation also provides for the combination of several taxation systems. Let us dwell on the USN and analyze its advantages in more detail.

Simplified taxation system for individual entrepreneurs

As mentioned above, individual entrepreneurs on the “simplified” system suffer the least from the amount of taxes and the need to deal with financial statements. All that is needed in this case is to keep a book of expenses and income.

The simplified tax system also relieves IP from the calculation and payment of:

• VAT- only customs and VAT remain within the framework of trust management and simple partnership agreements;
• personal income tax for the IP itself;
• property tax;
• land tax;
• transport tax if these three types of assets are used in the interests of the IP business.

Also, individual entrepreneurs who have chosen gross revenue (only income) as an object of taxation receive the right to reduce their tax to 100% by the amount of the fixed payment paid to the Pension Fund in the current period.

Step number 4. Settlement account for individual entrepreneurs

Opening a current account is not a prerequisite and remains at the discretion of the individual entrepreneur. It may be needed in cases where most or all of the suppliers and customers of the entrepreneur work by bank transfer.

How to choose a bank for an IP current account?

To decide which bank you will open an account with, it is useful to listen to the following tips:

• It's best to the selected bank was located where you live.
• The "Bank-Client" function should become one of the main factors when choosing a bank. After all, managing cash, receipts and sending payment orders through online banking is a very convenient thing. It greatly saves your time on visiting the bank and downtime in the queue for service.
• Pay attention not only to cost of opening a current account, but also his monthly maintenance, and cost of one payment order.
• The selected bank must provide service for issuance of a regular plastic card to an individual, where funds will be received from the current account you opened;
• Choose a bank with a long trading day. It is not very convenient when your bank limits your transactions with your current account until 16:00.

What documents are required to open a bank account?

Each bank has its own list of requirements. However, in general, they all ask for the following:

• Application for opening an account;
• original passport;
• extract or EGRIP record sheet;
• a card with samples of the individual entrepreneur's signature and its seal (certified by a notary or a bank employee in the presence of an entrepreneur);
• licenses and patents, if any;
• SNILS.

Previously, all individual entrepreneurs were required to notify the tax office of opening a current account within 5 days.

However, since April 2014, this procedure has been abolished, which has made life easier for Russian entrepreneurs.

Yes, on official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia the following information was published: On May 2, 2014, Federal Law No. 52-FZ dated 02.04.2014 came into force, which amended Article 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, abolishing the obligation of taxpayers - individual entrepreneurs to report to the tax authorities on the opening (closing) of accounts in banks.

Step number 5. Online cash desk for individual entrepreneurs in 2018: who is exempt and who is obliged to use it?

The order of work of individual entrepreneurs with cash in the last two years is a popular object of state control. The government this way and that is trying to bring the income of entrepreneurs out of the shadows, making their settlements with the population completely transparent.

So, in the latest edition of July 3, 2018, 54-FZ "On the use of cash registers in the implementation of settlements in the Russian Federation" clearly states that From July 1, 2018, the following categories of entrepreneurs are required to switch to the use of online cash registers:

• Individual entrepreneurs on the general and simplified taxation systems, providing catering services;
• IP on UTII and Patent, working in the field of trade and catering and using hired labor;
• Individual entrepreneurs on any taxation system and regardless of the field of activity, if they use the labor of at least 1 employee.

That is, already now the implementation of cash settlements with their customers must be carried out without fail through an online cash desk.

Postponement until July 01, 2019 for the use of an online cash register is given by the following IP:

1. IP provides services to the population (except for catering and retail). Checks are then replaced by forms of strict accountability, sales receipts, receipts.
2. An individual entrepreneur operates in any field, but does not have a single employee. At the request of the consumer, he is obliged to issue him a receipt or check that confirms the fact of the transaction.

Before the expiration of this "grace" adaptation period, in advance (1-2 months in advance), entrepreneurs are recommended to purchase, register and work out several test transactions through the online cash desk.

Permanently exempt from any type of CCP:

• Individual entrepreneurs operating in remote and hard-to-reach areas;
• whose business is in the care and supervision of children, the sick, the disabled, the elderly;
• Individual entrepreneurs engaged in the acceptance of glass containers and secondary raw materials, but not scrap metal;
• porter services can also be provided without the use of a cash desk.

Important! Persons who conduct business without the use of online cash desks in areas where they are mandatory may receive a fine of 10,000 rubles or more.

Step number 6. Production of IP seal

A seal is an optional attribute of an individual entrepreneur, however, it can be useful when opening a bank account or in the process of drawing up and signing contracts, concluding transactions.

To date, the Government has not determined stringent requirements to the content of additional details on the seals of organizations.

You can buy a seal in any company that is directly involved in their manufacture. If desired, the entrepreneur can order a simple print or on automatic equipment. The cost of the finished product is from 400 to 800 rubles. You can save time and choose one of the ready-made samples or order an individual design.

Examples of seals and stamps

The legislation does not prohibit the placement of additional information on the seals in the form of a logo, TIN or ORGN. But it is forbidden to place objects of state symbols on stamps.

Important! The seal of an individual entrepreneur in the tax office and in other government agencies does not require registration.

5. Pros and cons of IP. Responsibilities and rights that an individual entrepreneur needs to know about

After you have received the EGRIP Record Sheet in your hands, you can safely proceed to the beginning and development of your entrepreneurial activity.

However, it is important to be aware of the limitations.
For example, among them there is a ban on wholesale And retail trade in alcoholic products. If you want to open a store in which alcoholic beverages will be present among the goods, you should register with the tax office as a legal entity - LLC.

Ignoring this restriction is the most common violation among individual entrepreneurs. But before opening your own business, it is important to familiarize yourself with the full list of all prohibited activities of individual entrepreneurs. This list can be downloaded from the link below:

Advantages and disadvantages of IP as a form of business

You can talk a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of opening a company in the form of an individual entrepreneur, since there are enough of both. However, it is enough to consider at least the main ones in order to get some picture of the IP.

Benefits (+):

Advantage 1st. Simplified registration process

Almost everyone can register an IP. That is, it is not required to resort to the help of independent experts. A person who has at least once encountered the execution of any type of documentation will spend a maximum of 1.5 hours on this procedure. Moreover, there is no need for personal interaction with the tax office - documents for registration can be sent by mail or electronically.

Advantage 2. Relatively low penalties and three-year immunity from tax audits

The commercial activity of an individual entrepreneur is subject to control and supervisory measures of various authorities, however, in the first three years, no one has the right to “touch” the entrepreneur with checks.

If the entrepreneur carefully and conscientiously conducted his activities, then even after this period tax inspectors and Rospotrebnadzor will not descend on him.

That is, in order for everything to go smoothly, the individual entrepreneur should take care of compliance with sanitary standards, the timely submission of tax returns to the IFTS and information to the FIU and the FSS.

But even if it happened that a novice businessman committed an administrative violation, then the penalties on average 10 times less those that are assigned to legal entities for similar offenses. However, we can talk about this for quite some time. In any case, individual entrepreneurship rightfully tops the list of the most “sparing” forms of commercial activity.

Advantage 3. High level of flexibility in work

This organizational and legal form provides an opportunity for free possession and disposal of all proceeds from entrepreneurial activities. Based on this, you are completely “your own boss” and can do whatever you want with the proceeds immediately after receiving it. For comparison, LLC does not have such an opportunity.

This has already been mentioned above, but it should still be mentioned in the list of advantages that an individual entrepreneur can work without a seal. In the case of the conclusion of commercial and even employment contracts, it is enough for you to put your signature indicating “B. P., which means "without seal".

There is no urgent need to open a bank account, you can only work with cash.

IP is much easier to open a new point in another city and even region. In the case of applying the PSN, the entrepreneur will only buy a patent in the region being developed. With UTII - will be registered with the local tax authority. For comparison: an LLC in this case will need to register a branch or a separate subdivision with a bunch of accompanying red tape.

Disadvantages (− ):

Drawback 1. Liability level for obligations

Pay special attention! According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, all property belonging to him serves as security for debt obligations of an individual entrepreneur.

What does this mean? Imagine a situation that an individual entrepreneur has not coped with his duties and has accumulated a certain amount of debt. At this moment, creditors have every right to take away from an individual entrepreneur in court: bank deposits, a car, any material assets, real estate that is not related to the only housing.

Among the main duties of an individual entrepreneur is the payment of insurance premiums to the Pension Fund. At the same time, the fact that the entrepreneur did not make a profit or worked at a loss is not taken into account. Also, the payment of a fixed payment to the FIU is mandatory if the individual entrepreneur did not conduct business at all and even due to disability.

So, for example, for 2017, each individual entrepreneur had to pay 27 990 rubles of compulsory insurance premiums.

In 2018, the amount of the fixed payment for the “future pension” will already be 32,385 rubles. per year, and even then, provided that the revenue for 12 months did not exceed 300,000 rubles. Otherwise, you will have to pay the Pension Fund another 1% of the amount exceeding this limit.

For example, the income of IP Sidorov for 2018 amounted to 1,000,000 rubles. Until December 31, 2018, he must pay a fixed contribution of 32,385 rubles to the PFR. And since his revenue exceeded 300,000 rubles, he will additionally give the Pension Fund 1% of the over-limit amount: (1,000,000 - 300,000) * 1% \u003d 70,000 rubles.

In total, IP Smirnov replenished the Fund by 102,385 rubles.

Drawback 2."Organization without a name" or your name in plain sight

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for its own name for individual entrepreneurship. Your name in all documents will be your Surname, Name, Patronymic.

For example: abbreviated name of IP Pupkin F.M. Full name: Individual entrepreneur Pupkin Firdaus Magometadyrovich

So, in comparison, legal entities are entitled to an individual name.

For example: Megapolis Limited Liability Company or Megapolis LLC.

Drawback 3. Image nuances

For unknown reasons, in practice, not all companies are willing to cooperate with individual entrepreneurs, fearing some kind of vague reputational risks. Nevertheless, the tactics of conducting commercial activities of an individual entrepreneur is not inferior to the principles of an LLC, and the degree of responsibility of an entrepreneur is disproportionately higher.

For those who join the ranks of businessmen for the first time, experts still recommend opening an individual entrepreneur.

After all the stages of registration of individual entrepreneurship have been completed, you need to carefully study your rights and obligations in order to avoid trouble. To do this, download a document that indicates all the rights and obligations of an individual entrepreneur.

6. Become an individual entrepreneur, start a business and get rich

Unfortunately, not all those businessmen who have successfully registered as individual entrepreneurs achieve financial success. The most difficult stage of business development is the initial stage, where most of the failures occur.

7. Conclusion

A new entrepreneur should take care of receiving an information letter from Federal State Statistics Service Rosstat .

As regards registration in pension fund (FIU) And Social Insurance Fund (FSS), then in this case your participation is not even required. Notification of registration and other information from departments of state bodies will be sent to your address of registration or temporary registration.

For entrepreneurs with a simplified taxation system, the amount of the total amount of taxes is reduced by the amount of contributions required by the FIU. It doesn't matter if you pay tax on income or income minus expenses.

Drawing a line under the above, we can come to the conclusion: opening an IP on your own requires not only collecting the necessary documents, but also thinking and making some decisions. This whole process, even taking into account the purchase and registration of an online cash register, takes about 1 month.

However, the described instruction can simplify the process and reduce it to a few days. Moreover, on the Internet today you can collect all the necessary documents, sitting on the couch and using virtual services. Read also "", which is easier: buy an offshore or register it, etc.

We bring to your attention step-by-step instructions for opening an IP in 2018. Official registration as an individual entrepreneur opens up great prospects for an individual entrepreneur in cooperation with business partners.

According to the current Russian legislation, an individual entrepreneur (IP) is an individual who has state registration and conducts entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity.

In accordance with Article 23 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, both a capable citizen of Russia and citizens of other states have the right to engage in entrepreneurial activity.

So, let's find out how to open an IP in 2018.

What to do before registering

Before you proceed directly to registration, you should perform a number of preparatory steps.

TIN

Before collecting documents for registration as an individual entrepreneur for the tax office, you need to obtain a taxpayer identification number (TIN). In the absence of a TIN, it is necessary to write an application for its receipt at the Federal Tax Service. This can be done both in advance and together with the documents for registration of IP.

Taxation system

It is highly desirable to decide on the taxation system before registration. Recall that in the Russian Federation there are five systems (regimes) of taxation:

1. General system of taxation (OSN, OSNO).
2. Single tax on imputed income (UTII).
3. Single agricultural tax (ESKhN).
4. Simplified taxation system (USN).
5. Patent taxation system (PSN).

Each of the above systems of taxation has its own characteristics. The future tax and administrative burden largely depends on the taxation system chosen at the initial stage.

OKVED codes

OKVED - All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity. The Classifier contains codes that correspond to certain types of entrepreneurial activity. One or more codes can be selected. The first code you select will be the primary code, and the rest will be secondary.

The main code determines the amount of the insurance rate in the FSS. Do not forget that each type of activity corresponds to a certain system of taxation.

Documents for opening an IP in 2018

To open an IP, you need to collect a complete package of documents. Namely:

1. Photocopy of passport (with registration).
2. Receipt of payment of state duty (800 rubles).
3. Photocopy of TIN.
4. Application for registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur (form Р21001).
5. Application for the transition to a simplified taxation system (if necessary).

If the opening of an IP in 2018 is performed by a trustee, then all of the above documents must be notarized.

Completing and submitting an application to the tax office

The P21001 application consists of five pages. The document must include the following information:

• Name of the applicant;
• passport data;
• contact details (phone and e-mail);
• OKVED codes.

The application must be completed legibly in block letters.

Starting a sole proprietorship in 2018

As already mentioned, the state duty for registering an individual entrepreneur in 2018 is 800 rubles. You can pay the state duty at any branch of Sberbank. Details for payment must be obtained from the IFTS officer at the place of residence.

How to apply

After you have collected all the necessary documents for registering an individual entrepreneur in 2018 and received a receipt for payment of the state duty, you can submit them to the tax inspector. The IFTS officer will check the documents and issue you a receipt for their receipt. The receipt must contain the date of receipt of the completed registration documents (5 working days). If you cannot personally visit the tax office and pick up the finished documents, they will be sent to you by mail.

Completion of tax registration

After five working days, you go to the tax office to receive documents on opening an IP. The inspector must issue the following documents:

• Certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur (OGRNIP);
• Certificate of registration with a tax authority;
• Extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP);
• Notification of the assignment of statistics codes from Rosstat;
• Certificate of registration with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (at the place of registration).

It is necessary to make copies of all received documents and give them to the tax inspector.

Registration with the FIU and further actions

It may turn out that some of the above documents will not be issued to you. In particular, the FIU must send you a certificate of registration by mail. However, in some regions of the Russian Federation there is a different practice, and the regional offices of the PFR do not send this document by mail. If the document has not arrived by mail, you need to go to the Pension Fund yourself, having with you the original and a photocopy of the IP Registration Certificate, TIN and Pension Certificate.

Opening a bank account and making a seal

In principle, the registration of an individual entrepreneur in 2018 can be considered valid. But if necessary, a newly opened individual entrepreneur can order the production of a seal and open a bank account. So, in order to carry out cashless transactions, you should open an IP current account in a bank. An account is required for settlements in the amount of more than 100,000 rubles.

The current legislation allows individual entrepreneurs to work both with printing and without it. If you plan to work with printing, it is best to order it in advance.
After receiving all the documents and opening a bank account, you can start your business.

We hope that the step-by-step instructions we have proposed on how to open an IP in 2018 will help you solve this problem. If you have any questions, you can ask them through the feedback form. We will definitely answer.
