4. How to open an IP (individual enterprise) - step by step instructions

So, a step-by-step instruction on how to correctly and quickly issue an IP.

Step 1. Payment of the state fee in the required amount, obtaining an activity code and choosing a tax payment system

To pay the fee, you must fill out a form with details, and make the payment at Sberbank, any branch, or through a specially designed terminal. The original invoice must be kept. When submitting documents in electronic form, the state fee absent .

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. This list of activities is limited by the principles of safety in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. You need to choose from the list for 2017-2018.

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.

11. Conclusion

The article considered the concept of an individual entrepreneur who is engaged in legal activities: economic, scientific, trading or another in order to receive income from it, having previously registered a business in the status of an individual entrepreneur. According to the results of registering a business as an individual entrepreneur, he is assigned responsibility and obligations.

An individual entrepreneur can take, use his property in the enterprise. After paying all taxes, an individual entrepreneur disposes of profits.

An individual entrepreneur may terminate its activities or this may be done by the court that issued the appropriate decision on bankruptcy, on breaking laws .

The main issue was the rules for registering an enterprise in order to legitimize its activities. It should be added that at the same time the businessman will be registered in: pension fund of Russia and in Social Insurance Fund. This will be done automatically, without any action on his part, about which a notification will be sent by mail.

Also, the features of registering an individual entrepreneur in 2019 and the necessary documents and actions that will need to be carried out in order to register their entrepreneurial activities were considered.

The most important question is choice of tax payment system. In conclusion, we can say: opening your own enterprise, like an individual entrepreneur, requires great independence in decision-making.

It also requires a responsible attitude to the consequences of mistakes, which would be best avoided using the above recommendations.

The term for registering an individual entrepreneur is not so long, usually IP opening does not exceed a month. The outlined steps should help to clearly prepare for all situations that can no longer be called unforeseen.

The administrative costs of registering a business with the tax office depend on the chosen legal form - individual entrepreneur or LLC. It is commonly believed that starting a company is more expensive than becoming an entrepreneur, but this is not always the case. In this article, we will tell you how much it costs to open an IP, and what mandatory expenses you will have to bear already at the start.

State fee for business registration

For consideration of documents submitted for registration, the tax office charges a fee. The paid fee does not guarantee that you will be registered as an entrepreneur. If the documents are drawn up incorrectly or there are some other good reasons, the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate makes a decision to refuse. The fee is non-refundable.

The state duty for is 800 rubles. Most applicants register on the first try, but if something goes wrong, you have to pay this amount several times.

From October 2018, a new norm of the law "On State Registration" will come into force. This provision entitles applicants who were rejected on their first submission to attempt to do so again without paying a fee. It will be possible to re-submit documents only once and within three months after the decision to refuse is made.

Expenses for filing registration documents

In addition to the mandatory fee, the applicant may need additional costs for the preparation of documents. In this case, the answer to the question: “How much does it cost to register an IP?” - will depend on the method of submission.

The fact is that if it is not personally submitted by the entrepreneur to the registering inspection or the MFC, then his signature in the application must. The cost of certifying a signature in the form P21001 consists of the established state tariff (100 rubles) and the so-called legal and technical work of a notary (on average from 400 to 1000 rubles).

In addition, the notary must certify a copy of the passport of the future entrepreneur. The established tariff for certification of documents is 10 rubles per page, plus up to 50 rubles will be charged by a notary for his work. In total, if you submit documents by mail, then you need to pay for notary services to certify the P21001 form and a copy of your passport - from 800 to 1600 rubles. We also add here the postage for sending a registered letter - about 200 rubles.

If you entrust the submission of an application to a representative, then it is necessary to issue a notarized power of attorney for registration actions. This additional service will cost from 400 to 1500 rubles.

Another option for filing documents for registration of IP is in electronic form. This is possible if the applicant has an electronic qualified signature. It costs from 3000 rubles, but notarial services in this case are not required.

If you don’t have your digital signature, then you can contact a notary, but not to certify documents, but to submit form P21001 electronically. Notaries received the right to apply for registration of IP on behalf of the applicant in 2016. In this case, the documents are certified by the electronic signature of the notary himself. The state tariff for this service is set at 1,000 rubles, and the notary will charge approximately the same amount for work.

Finally, you can seek help from professional registrars who provide the Turnkey IP Registration service. In this case, you do not have to worry about the correct preparation of documents and think about the risk of rejection. Good law firms guarantee that if registration is denied due to errors in the application, the fee paid will be reimbursed to you.

Let's summarize how much it costs to open an IP with different ways of submitting documents.

Additional organizational costs

So how much money do you need to open your business in the IP format? Are the amounts indicated in the table sufficient? Not always. There are a number of other costs that are not directly established by law, but in most cases are desirable at the start of a business.

1. Preparation of an application for the transition to a special tax regime. In order to reduce the tax burden, in a short time after registering an individual entrepreneur, you must apply for the transition to, UTII or PSN. You can fill out this document yourself if you have up-to-date forms and samples at hand. If you don’t want to mess with it yourself, then an application for switching to a special regime can be prepared at the MFC, at a law or accounting firm. This service costs from 300 to 500 rubles.
2. . The seal of the entrepreneur has never been a necessary business attribute, although in practice it had to be used quite often. But due to the fact that two years ago the mandatory seal was canceled for an LLC, there are practically no situations left when a document without a businessman's stamp will be invalidated. In 2017, a seal is needed only when issuing a cash receipt and BSO. In principle, if an individual entrepreneur does not draw up these documents in his activities, you can do without printing. But if you decide to order it, then the cost of this is small - from 500 rubles.
3. Opening a current account. An entrepreneur can make most of his payments in cash at the counteragent's cash desk or through a bank receipt. However, if the amount of payments under one agreement with a partner exceeds 100,000 rubles, then such payments can only be non-cash. The cost consists not only of the opening costs, moreover, within the framework of special offers of banks, this can be done for free. Expenses will require maintenance of a current account, and this is at least 500 rubles per month. It is clear that entrepreneurs, not wanting to incur additional costs, are in no hurry to go to the bank. But on the other hand, non-cash payments save time on making a payment, so you should consider this option, weighing the pros and cons.
4. Accounting support. Individual entrepreneurs are not required to keep accounting records, but just like organizations, they must keep records of income and expenses for tax purposes. If the entrepreneur hires employees, then he is required to submit personnel reports. In the simplest case, such as an individual entrepreneur on the simplified tax system Income without employees, you can handle your reporting yourself. Well, in more complex situations, you can keep records using inexpensive online accounting services, access to which costs from 500 rubles per month. Hiring an accountant at the start of a business is usually not necessary.

Cash register after IP registration

Although the purchase of a cash register does not formally refer to the administrative costs of opening an IP, without it it is impossible to accurately answer how much money is needed to open your business.

Now needed for retailers on the USN, OSNO and ESHN. Those who trade on UTII or PSN, and also provide services to the public on any tax regime, can still accept payment without issuing a cash receipt.

However, from mid-2018, all entrepreneurs who work with the population will have to purchase CCPs. This is all retail trade, with a few exceptions, and services to individuals. In fact, most of the small businesses are engaged in these activities.

New generation cash registers (online cash registers) are not only expensive in themselves, but require an Internet connection and an agreement with a fiscal data operator. As a result, the minimum cost of installing a cash desk will be from 30,000 rubles, and these costs, of course, must also be taken into account when registering an individual entrepreneur.

An individual entrepreneur (IP) is a person who does business officially, but without forming a legal entity. He does not have to keep accounting and open a bank account, but entrepreneurial risks fall on personal property.

Any capable citizen (except civil servants and military) can become an individual entrepreneur. The procedure is quite simple.

How to register an IP

1. Decide on the types of activities

Do you bake cakes? Do you repair cars? Take a look at the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED) and find the code corresponding to your occupation.

OKVED codes must be entered in the application for registration of IP: one main and several additional ones.

Additional codes will come in handy if you decide to expand or repurpose your business. It is illegal to earn by something that does not fall under the codes specified during registration.

To engage in certain types of activities (medicine, passenger transportation, and so on), a license is required, and a number of areas for individual entrepreneurs are closed. For example, individual entrepreneurs are not entitled to sell alcohol and produce medicines.

2. Choose a taxation system

It depends on the amount of taxes and the amount of reporting. Therefore, it is better to decide on it even before opening an IP.

There are currently five tax regimes in Russia.

1. General system of taxation (OSN or OSNO). It involves the payment of VAT (18%), personal income tax (13%) and property tax (if any). This is one of the most complex systems - you can't do without an accountant. Suitable for entrepreneurs planning to cooperate with large organizations.
2. Simplified taxation system (USN). Allows you to select the object of taxation: income (then the tax rate will be 6%) or income minus expenses (the rate will be from 5 to 15% depending on the region). This is the most simple and beginner-friendly system. But only individual entrepreneurs who have less than a hundred employees, and the annual profit does not exceed 60 million rubles, can use it.
3. Patent taxation system (PSN). Introduced specifically for individual entrepreneurs who have less than 15 employees and a profit of no more than 60 million rubles a year. Valid only for certain types of activities. An entrepreneur simply buys a patent for a period of 1 to 12 months and keeps a book of income and expenses - no regular payments and declarations.
4. Single tax on imputed income (UTII). Applicable only for selected types of activities (Article 346.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) and not in all regions. UTII does not depend on profit. The tax is calculated according to a special formula, which is affected by the scale of the business (sales area, number of employees, and so on).
5. Single agricultural tax (ESKhN). Another simplified system without VAT, income tax and property tax. Suitable for those who grow, process or sell agricultural products.

When registering an IP, the OSN automatically enters into force. You can switch from it to the USN or ESHN within 30 days, to PSN - within 10, and to UTII - 5 days. If you are late, you will have to wait for a new reporting period.

3. Prepare a package of documents

To apply to the Federal Tax Service (FTS) you will need:

1. Application form P21001.
2. Receipt for payment of state duty.
3. Passport + its copy.
4. Application for the transition to the simplified tax system, PSN, UTII or UAT (optional).
5. TIN (if not available, it will be assigned when registering an individual entrepreneur).

You can submit documents to the tax office in person or through a representative, as well as send by registered mail with a list of attachments. In the latter case, a copy of the passport and an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur must be certified by a notary.

4. Make an application for registration of IP

Application for state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur (form P21001) is the most important document in the entire package. Due to errors, it most often refuses to open an IP.

The application must be completed in capital letters on a computer (font - Courier New, size - 18 pt) or in black ink and block letters by hand. On the first sheet, indicate your full name, gender, date and place of birth, TIN (if any). On the second - the address of registration and passport data. The code of your subject of the Russian Federation and the code of the identity document can be found in the requirements for paperwork, and the postal code can be found on the Russian Post website.

When filling out the application, do not sign sheet B. This is done in the presence of a tax inspector.

Are you afraid to get confused in the requirements and make mistakes? Use one of the free document preparation services. There are a lot of these on the Internet now.

5. Pay the state duty

To do this, on the website of the Federal Tax Service there is a service "Payment of state duty". First, select a payment type. Enter the full name and address of the payer. The details of the required tax office will automatically appear on the receipt.

Now you need to specify the payment method. For cash payment, print and pay a receipt at any bank.

IP registration costs 800 rubles. This is the size of the stamp duty.

For non-cash payment, a TIN number is required. You can pay online through a QIWI wallet or a partner bank of the Federal Tax Service.

6. Submit documents for registration to the tax

An individual entrepreneur can build a business throughout Russia, but he will have to open an IP at the place of registration (registration).

You can submit documents for registration of an individual entrepreneur in person by visiting the tax office or the MFC, or remotely:

1. Through the service "Submission of electronic documents for state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs" (an electronic signature is required).
2. Through the service "Filing an application for state registration of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities".

The last way is the easiest. You will have to go to the tax office only once to pick up documents on opening an IP.

7. Get an IP registration document

After 3 working days, you will be given an entry sheet in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (EGRIP). It will indicate the main state registration number of an individual entrepreneur (OGRNIP).

A paper certificate of registration of IP is no longer issued.

Be sure to check the data in the received documents. If you find a mistake, ask the inspector to draw up a protocol of disagreements.

8. Get registered with extrabudgetary funds

The tax inspectorate must notify the Pension Fund (PFR) and Rosstat about the appearance of a new individual entrepreneur in Russia.

A certificate of registration with the FIU and statistics codes will be issued to you upon receipt of the USRIP sheet or sent by mail. If this does not happen, contact the local branch of the Pension Fund yourself.

You need to register with the Social Insurance Fund (FSS) within 30 days from the date of hiring the first employee.

9. Print, open a bank account, buy a cash register

All this is optional and highly dependent on the type of activity, but:

1. Documents sealed with a seal have more weight in the minds of customers and partners.
2. It is much more convenient to settle accounts with counterparties and pay taxes in a non-cash form through the current account of an individual entrepreneur.
3. In most cases, you cannot accept cash from customers without issuing a check.

That's all. Nine easy steps and you are an individual entrepreneur!

After registering an individual entrepreneur with the tax office, you get not only the right to conduct business, i.e. engage in entrepreneurial activities, but also duties, the first of which is to submit reports and pay insurance premiums for themselves. In addition to these key responsibilities of each IP, there are a number of nuances that you should be aware of in order not to run into fines in the very first month of your official activity. Especially for this article, we have selected seven important issues that an IT freelancer needs to solve immediately after state registration.

1. Choose the right taxation system

If, when registering as an individual entrepreneur, you did not submit notifications of the transition to a simplified taxation system, then you need to decide on the taxation system within X time after the date of registration.

The system of taxation is the procedure for calculating and paying taxes. Each system has its own rate and tax base, but the main thing is that the amounts of tax payable differ significantly. One of such illustrative examples is in the article "How much does a programmer in Moscow earn according to the Federal Tax Service".

There are five taxation systems in total, but one of them (ESKhN) is intended only for agricultural producers. You can choose between the main (OSNO) and special systems (USN, UTII, PSN). In principle, the calculation of the tax burden is an accounting topic, so if you know a competent specialist, then it makes sense to contact him.

• on OSNO you have to pay 13% of the difference between income and expenses plus VAT;
• with the STS Income tax will be 6% of income (in some regions the rate can reach up to 1%);
• with the simplified tax system Income minus expenses - from 5% to 15% of the difference between income and expenses (in some regions the rate can reach up to 1%);
• the cost of the patent is issued by the FTS calculator;
• the calculation of UTII is a little more complicated, but it can really do it on its own.

If you don’t want to delve into the calculations, but you can’t get to the accountant, we recommend that you apply for the simplified tax system Income, because. this is the most common system of taxation. Plus, this is the simplest system in terms of reporting with a fairly low tax burden. It can also be combined with any other systems, except OSNO.

Why is it important: special (they are also preferential) tax regimes allow you to reduce payments to the budget to a minimum. This right is enshrined in Article 21 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. But if you yourself do not submit an application for the transition to the simplified tax system, UTII, PSN, then no one will persuade you. By default, you will have to work on a common system (OSNO). It is undesirable to forget about the reporting deadlines of your system; for an unsubmitted declaration, the tax authorities very quickly block the current account of the individual entrepreneur.

Another reason to submit tax returns on time is the risk of receiving a payment in the amount of 154,852 rubles from the PFR. The logic is this - since you did not report your income to the IFTS, then their size is simply immodest. This means that contributions will be calculated to the maximum (8MRO * 26% * 12). This is not a fine, the money will go to your pension account and will be taken into account when calculating your pension (if everything has not changed again by then), but still the surprise is not the most pleasant.

2. Take advantage of tax holidays

If you are registering as an individual entrepreneur for the first time after the adoption of the regional law on tax holidays, you can claim a zero tax rate under the STS and STS regimes. You can not pay tax for a maximum of two years. The specific types of activities for which tax holidays are established are determined by the regional law.

There are no tax holidays for developers in Moscow, but if your activity is related to research and development, then in most regions, including Moscow, you can get a zero tax rate.

Details of tax holidays, as well as the base of most regional laws can be found here.

Why is it important: if there is an opportunity to be in a tax haven for a while, why not take advantage of it? In addition, on the PSN, in principle, there is no way to reduce the cost of a patent by the amount of contributions. And as part of the tax holidays, an IP patent will not cost you anything.

3. Know and pay insurance premiums for yourself

Insurance premiums are payments that each entrepreneur is obliged to make for himself to the pension fund (PFR) and the compulsory health insurance fund (FOMS). Starting from the new year, the Federal Tax Service will take over the collection of contributions, because. according to the authorities, the funds themselves do a poor job of collecting payments in their favor.

The minimum contribution amount changes every year. In 2016, this is about 23 thousand rubles plus 1% from incomes over 300 thousand. If you have been registered as an individual entrepreneur for less than a year, then the amount is recalculated accordingly. Contributions for yourself must be paid all the time while you are registered as an entrepreneur. Justifications and arguments of the form:

• I do not conduct real activity;
• what kind of business is there, some losses;
• the employer pays contributions for me according to the work book;
• I'm actually retired, etc.

not accepted by the foundations.

You can not pay contributions for yourself if the individual entrepreneur was drafted into the army or he takes care of a child under one and a half years old, a disabled child, a disabled person of the 1st group, elderly people over 80 years old. But even in these cases, the accrual of contributions does not automatically stop, you must first submit documents that you are not engaged in a real business.

So it’s not worth opening an IP just like that, with the expectation that it might come in handy someday. If you nevertheless registered as an individual entrepreneur, and now you are in idle time, then it is cheaper to deregister (the state duty is only 160 rubles), and, if necessary, register again. The number of approaches to the reception desk is not limited.

Why is it important: contributions will still be collected from you, even if you close the IP. Plus, a fine of 20% to 40% of the unpaid amount and penalties will be charged. In addition, by not paying contributions on time, you deprive yourself of the opportunity to immediately reduce the accrued tax by this amount.

An example of reducing payments under the simplified tax system for insurance premiums

An individual entrepreneur without employees on the simplified tax system Income for 2016 earned 1 million rubles. He had no business expenses (but even if he had, then no expenses are taken into account on the simplified taxation system Income).

Tax amount 1,000,000 * 6% = 60,000 rubles. IP insurance premiums for themselves amounted to 30,153.33 rubles, based on:

• contributions to the PFR - (6,204 * 12 * 26%) + ((1,000,000 - 300,000) * 1%) = (19,356.48 + 7,000) = 26,356.48 rubles.
• contributions to the MHIF - 3,796.85 rubles (6,204 * 12 * 5.1%) at any income level.

The entrepreneur took advantage of the right to reduce advance payments for a single tax on the simplified tax system at the expense of paid insurance premiums, therefore he paid them quarterly (*).

Let's calculate the total amount that went to the budget in the form of tax: 60,000 - 30,153.33 rubles (the amount of paid insurance premiums by which the tax can be reduced) = 29,846.67 rubles. As a result, his entire tax burden, including insurance premiums, is 60,000 rubles. The net income from the business of an individual entrepreneur is 1,000,000 - 60,000 = 940,000 rubles.

(*) If you pay contributions in a single amount at the end of the year, you will first have to pay the full tax amount of 60,000 rubles, and then apply to the IFTS for a refund or offset of the overpaid tax. Therefore, it is better to pay contributions in installments every quarter, and immediately reduce quarterly advance payments on the simplified tax system. The result will be the same, but in the first case there is more trouble.

4. Submit a notice of commencement of activity

Few people know this, but before starting to provide repair services for computers and communication equipment (OKVED codes 95.11 and 95.12), an individual entrepreneur must submit a notice of the start of business activities to the local branch of Rospotrebnadzor.

This is done in order to include you in the inspection plan of Rospotrebnadzor, although they promise not to check for the first three years after registering an individual entrepreneur. But if a client complains about you, dissatisfied with the quality of services, then the check will be unscheduled. By the way, from January 1, 2017, Rospotrebnadzor will come with an inspection only if the client provides evidence that he has already tried to call you to account. Apparently, the department is already tired of checking the reality of all consumer complaints.

Why is it important: If you do not file a notification, you can get a fine of 3 to 5 thousand rubles. In itself, the indication of OKVED codes 95.11 and 95.12 when registering an IP does not oblige you to report anything. You only need to file a notification if you actually plan to start repairing computers and communications equipment.

5. Open a current account

You can work without a current account if your clients are individuals who pay in cash, and you enter into agreements with other individual entrepreneurs and LLCs for amounts not exceeding 100 thousand rubles. This is the limit set by the Central Bank for cash settlements between commercial entities.

It is quite easy to exceed it, because this is not a one-time payment, but the amount of settlements during the entire term of the contract. For example, you entered into a lease for a year, the rent is 15 thousand rubles per month. The total amount of settlements under the agreement will be 180 thousand rubles, which means that payment of rent is allowed only by bank transfer.

Cashless payments are convenient in principle, not only because they increase the number of payment methods, but also allow the consumer to pay you with a credit card when he has no other free money. Settlements with electronic money can be legalized by creating a corporate IP wallet.

Why is it important: for violation of the cash limit, an individual entrepreneur is fined under Article 15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (from 4 to 5 thousand rubles). And about why you should not accept payments to your personal card, we told in the article 5 reasons not to use your personal account in freelancing.

6. Register as an insured

If you use hired labor, then you must register as an insurer in a timely manner. Moreover, the type of contract with the employee - labor or civil law - does not matter. Even if you conclude a one-time short-term contract for the performance of some services or work with an ordinary individual, you become an insurer. That is, in addition to paying remuneration to the contractor, they are obliged to pay insurance premiums for him at their own expense, withhold and transfer to the personal income tax budget and submit reports.

The obligations of the insured to submit all kinds of reports on employees or performers are very depressing - there are really a lot of them, and it is complex. And since 2017, the main functions of administering contributions were transferred to the Federal Tax Service, nevertheless leaving some reporting for the PFR and the FSS.

Why is it important: the deadlines for registration as an insurer of individuals in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Social Insurance Fund - 30 days from the date of conclusion of the first labor or civil law contract. If the deadline is violated or not registered at all, then the Pension Fund will fine from 5 to 10 thousand rubles, and social insurance - from 5 to 20 thousand rubles. Since 2017, the registration procedure with the FSS has remained the same, and instead of the FIU, an application from an individual entrepreneur must be submitted to any tax authority.

7. Obtain a license if your activity is licensed

A license is a permit for the right to engage in a certain type of activity. In the IT sphere, the law of May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ refers to the following areas as licensed:

• Development, production, distribution of encryption tools, information systems and telecommunication systems, performance of work, provision of services, maintenance in this area, except for the own needs of the organization or individual entrepreneur;
• Development, production, sale and acquisition for the purpose of sale of special technical means intended for secretly obtaining information;
• Activities to identify electronic devices designed to secretly obtain information, except for the own needs of the organization or individual entrepreneur;
• Development and production of protective equipment, activities for the technical protection of confidential information.

Licenses are issued by the FSB, advice on licensing issues can be obtained.

Why is it important: for activities without a license or in violation of its conditions, an administrative fine can be collected under Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (for individual entrepreneurs, the amount is from 3 to 5 thousand rubles), confiscation of manufactured products, production tools and raw materials is also allowed. If, as a result of such activities, large damage is caused or income is received on a large scale, then criminal liability is also possible.

Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Article 171. Illegal entrepreneurship

1. Carrying out business activities without registration or without a license in cases where such a license is obligatory, if this act has caused major damage to citizens, organizations or the state, or is associated with the extraction of income on a large scale, shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of up to 300 thousand rubles or in the amount of the wage or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to two years or by compulsory works for a term of up to four hundred and eighty hours, or by arrest for a term of up to six months.

2. The same act:

a) committed by an organized group;

b) associated with the extraction of income on an especially large scale, -

punishable by a fine of from one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand rubles or wages or other income of the convict for a period of one to three years or by compulsory labor for a term of up to five years, or by deprivation of liberty for a term of up to five years, with or without a fine in the amount of up to eighty thousand rubles or in the amount of the wage or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to six months.

Finally, a brief overview of what cannot be done with IP:

1. IP cannot be sold completely as a business. An entrepreneur can sell property, remnants of goods, raw materials, materials, and so on. The buyer, if he intends to continue doing business, must be registered as an individual entrepreneur or LLC. Documents that contain the name of the entrepreneur-seller (licenses, permits, approvals, contracts, etc.) will have to be re-registered for the new owner, and this is not always easy.
2. IP cannot be renamed. Changes in the name of the individual entrepreneur are allowed only if the passport data of the individual himself has changed. For example, when changing the surname in marriage. But it’s impossible to simply call yourself by a different name or come up with a sonorous pseudonym / name. You can register a trademark or service mark that you use in advertising, but the IP will still appear in official documents under the full name of an individual.
3. You cannot register two or more IPs at the same time. Registration of an entrepreneur is carried out on his TIN of an individual, which does not change throughout his life, regardless of the change of name. If you are an active entrepreneur, the tax authorities will immediately see this, so they will refuse to open a new IP. If you want to have several unrelated businesses, register companies, you just need to stop at the number 10, after which the founder is recognized as a mass one.
4. IP cannot be transferred or rented. This is equivalent to renting a passport or work book. There are such offers on the Internet, moreover, they try to convince that everything is within the law: they will show copies or originals of the IP registration certificate, issue a power of attorney and even sign an agreement on joint activities. But such an agreement has the right to conclude commercial entities, and not individuals, so it has no legal force. Everything that you earn will belong to the “landlord”, you can only try to prove something through the court.

If you are not yet an IP, but are actively thinking about it, read our full instructions for registering an IP with all the life hacks. We are also ready to provide you with a free consultation.

So, you have decided to open your own business project and become an individual entrepreneur. In this article, we will discuss what is needed to open an IP. Some believe that the opening of an IP begins with registration. But this is an incorrect statement. First of all, in order to open an IP, it is also necessary to develop possible options for its further development, draw up a business plan, and only then prepare for registration of an IP with the Federal Tax Service.

Opening conditions

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, any adult and capable citizen of the Russian Federation or a citizen of another country who permanently resides in the territory of the Russian Federation can become an individual entrepreneur.

“What do you need to open an IP for people under the age of 18?” is a question that is often asked by teenagers who want to start their own business. There are extenuating circumstances for such cases. So, it is allowed to issue an IP at the age of 16 years and older, if a person is recognized as capable by a court decision or authorized guardianship authorities.

Also, an individual entrepreneur can become a teenager from 14 to 16 years old, if his parents have given written consent to this.

It is forbidden to register as an individual entrepreneur for employees of security agencies and the prosecutor's office, military personnel, state and municipal employees.

How to prepare for registration - requirements

Let's take a look at what is needed to open an IP in the Federal Tax Service and where it is necessary to start paperwork. There are two options for resolving this issue. The first is to collect and execute all the documents on your own, the second is to use the services of companies that specialize in this. To be honest, the difference in money is not very big, and the registration procedure is not so troublesome. Below we propose to get acquainted with the basic requirements for IP.

Documents for opening an IP

One of the most important conditions for opening an IP is the availability of the necessary documentation. The package of documents for opening an IP consists of:

• Applications for (in one copy; if the application is submitted in person, then notarization is not required).
• A receipt confirming the payment of the state duty - 800 rubles (this amount is an integral part of the cost of opening an IP).
• Copies of the main page and the page with a residence permit from the passport (you will also need to present the original);
• Copies of the TIN (again, when showing the original, but this document is not mandatory, the main thing is to indicate the TIN correctly, if it has been assigned to you, in the application; if you have not received the TIN yet, it does not matter: they will assign it to you and issue a certificate along with documents confirming the registration of IP);
• (this is an application for the transition to a simplified taxation system, you can submit it within thirty days after the USRIP entry sheet).

The last application in the list of documents for opening an IP is not mandatory and is submitted only at the request of the future IP.

If you do not submit documents in person, but through a representative or send them by mail, it is necessary that the signatures on the application and copies are notarized.

For persons who do not have citizenship of the Russian Federation, a copy of the certificate of his place of residence is a necessary document for opening an IP.

Rules and procedure for registration of IP

The procedure begins with an application for opening an IP

I would like to dwell on some points regarding filling out an application in the form P21001. It indicates the address of the enterprise and the home address of the individual entrepreneur, phone numbers and data from the passport. After filling out the application on its back, you must sign, this must be done at the tax office in the presence of a tax inspector or at a notary public if you do not plan to submit documents for registration in person.

One of the fields for filling out this document (Sheet A) is OKVED (All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activity),. It is advisable to write more possible classifiers, because if you want to expand your field of activity, and the desired classifier is not listed, then you will have to pay for a new type of activity and wait about five days for its introduction.

Sheet B of the application is filled in at the tax office and returned to the applicant.

Where and when can I register a sole proprietorship

After collecting all the documents, you must contact the tax authorities. An employee of the Federal Tax Service will check the documentation you have collected and provide a list of the documents you submitted for opening an IP, as well as inform you when it will be possible to pick up the finished USRIP record sheet (according to the law, up to five days).

On the appointed day, you will need to come again to the Federal Tax Service, receive a sheet of entry from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, and also sign in the journal about their receipt. As you can see, the term for issuing an IP is not so long.
