Who can become an individual entrepreneur

A citizen of the country over 18 years of age can become an individual entrepreneur on the territory of the Russian Federation, if he is not a member of a municipal or public service. In addition, you will be denied registration if you were declared bankrupt less than a year ago.

How much does it cost to open a sole proprietorship?

To officially obtain the status of an individual entrepreneur, you need 800 rubles to pay the state fee, but you can do it without it, read one of the methods below.

But this amount can be increased to 7,000 rubles:

1. If you do not submit all documents in person, you will need the services of a notary. They will cost from 400 to 1500 rubles.
2. If you plan to deal with non-cash payments and bills, then you will need a bank. Its opening will cost from 0 to 3000 rubles.
3. An individual entrepreneur has the right to work without a seal, but in practice there are many cases when it turns out to be far from superfluous (for example, for banking transactions). Its production costs from 500 to 1500 rubles.
4. And the entire registration process can be placed under the control of specialized companies. The cost of their services depends on the region and usually ranges from 1000-5000 rubles. But we do not recommend doing this, because... Our article describes everything in detail and you can handle the procedure yourself.

So, to register as an individual entrepreneur you will need:

1. Passport and photocopies of all its pages.
2. TIN (if you don’t have one, you need it in parallel with registering an individual entrepreneur).
3. Application for registration of individual entrepreneurs (Form P21001), one copy.
4. Receipt for payment of 800 rubles of state duty.
5. If necessary, an application for transition to the simplified tax system (Form No. 26.2-1), two copies.

Method 3: Self-registration of individual entrepreneurs - step-by-step instructions

If you decide to go through the entire procedure yourself, routinely, then the procedure will be as follows:

Choosing OKVED

These are the activity codes that you indicate when registering it.

You need to decide on your codes before filling out the registration application, as they will be useful there. The list of them is huge, and the law does not limit entrepreneurs in their choice.

You enter the main code first, which most accurately describes your future activities, and then select all that are more or less suitable.

• Download OKVED2

Even if you will not be involved in a certain industry at the beginning, but perhaps include it in your work later, its code is worth indicating. “They won’t ask you” for too long a list, but to add OKVED codes It can be a hassle after registering.

The main OKVED code will depend on:

1. FSS insurance tariff;
2. in some cases, the tariff tax rate;
3. benefits provided for certain types of activities;
4. the need for additional certificates and accreditations (for example, for entrepreneurs registering for the first time with codes 80,85, 92, 93, a certificate of no criminal record will be required).

Choosing a tax regime for individual entrepreneurs

Before you finally decide on the tax regime, all options need to be calculated, and only then make a choice. UTII and Patent will depend on the type of your activity, and OSNO and simplified tax system on profit.

Before registering as an individual entrepreneur, it would be a good idea to read detailed articles on our website about each of the special modes:

• A single tax on imputed income

BASIC (general)	USN (simplified)	UTII (imputation)	Patent
The base tax you are on if you have not made any other claims. Suitable for everyone, but far from the most profitable for small companies.	The most common tax for small businesses. Possible in companies with up to 100 employees.	Typically used in services and trade. Limited list of activities and cities to which the system is applicable.
Paid from income from your activities.	6% is paid on all income - more profitable for small expenses; or 15% of profit (income minus expenses) - more profitable for large expenses if they are confirmed and taken into account.	for an amount up to 50% of the amount paid to the Pension Fund. If there are no employees, the reduction is possible up to 100%	An entrepreneur buys a patent to conduct each specific type of activity
Quarterly reporting	If you have no income, you don't have to pay	Tax will have to be paid even if there is no income.
	Once a year it is submitted to the tax book of income and expenses	Keeping records is simple; the rate depends on the type of activity, number of employees, area and other parameters. Expenses are not taken into account.
		No more than 100 employees.	No more than 15 employees

If desired, the modes can be combined. Only the simplified tax system and the OSNO are not compatible; you will have to choose one of them.

It is best to start registering an individual entrepreneur immediately with a simplified procedure. Later you can switch to UTII or Patent without any problems.

Let's move on to the practical part

Step 1. Fill out an application for registration of individual entrepreneurs (Form 21001).

• You can do it manually on a printed form or electronically, but keep in mind that if you choose to fill it out electronically, on Sheet B your full name and signature will in any case have to be written by hand (in black pen, in block capitals). It is better to leave this space empty before coming to the Federal Tax Service and fill it out in front of the tax officer. In many regions this is a requirement.
• Any other corrections or additions by hand on the printed application are not permitted.
• If you are not the one personally submitting the application to the tax office, then the signature must be certified by a notary (this service will cost approximately 500 rubles).
• There is no need to stitch or staple the sheets. Documents should always be printed on one side.
• If sheet 003 is not filled out, then you do not need to provide it.

Step 2. Pay the state fee.

Step 3. Make photocopies of your passport (with registration) and TIN.

Step 4. Fill out an application for the simplified tax system (in two copies) if you have chosen this type of taxation. You can submit it immediately or within a month after registration.

Step 5. Take the documents to the registration authority.

Step 6. Return after three business days for results.

As you can see, you will have to fill out everything on the computer yourself, which is not very convenient. Therefore, it is better to use the first 2 methods!

How and where to pay the fee for registering an individual entrepreneur

For 2019, the state fee for registering individual entrepreneurs is 800 rubles. It can be paid at Sberbank. What it looks like and a sample of it is above.

Important! From January 1, 2019, when submitting documents online, you do not need to pay a state fee!

You can find out your tax office details at the branch itself or on the website nalog.ru. The KBK code depends on whether you will submit an application to the Federal Tax Service or to the MFC. 18210807010011000110 and 18210807010018000110, respectively.

Some branches of the Federal Tax Service have installed payment terminals, which simplifies the payment of state duties, since this can be done directly at the tax office.

We bring completed documents to the tax office

So, the documents have been collected, it’s time to take them to the tax office. Let's check the list:

1. Application for state registration IP.
2. Photocopies of all pages of the passport.
3. Photocopy of TIN.
4. Paid receipt of state duty.
5. If you switch to the simplified tax system - a corresponding statement.
6. If you are not a citizen of the Russian Federation, a photocopy of your residence permit or temporary residence permit.
7. If the actual postal address differs from the registration - Form No. 1A.

You can take the documents directly to the tax office, which you indicated when filling out the documents.

As confirmation of receipt of the documents, the Federal Tax Service will issue you a receipt. Please note that even if registration is refused, neither the documents submitted for registration nor the state fee paid will be returned.

If you cannot take the document in person

If a third party, and not you yourself, will submit and receive documents from the tax office, then you must:

1. Fill out and have the power of attorney certified by a notary.
2. Also certify a copy of your passport and your signature on the application.
   If you send documents by mail, this should only be done in a valuable letter with an inventory.

Receiving documents from the tax office

Review of documents by the Federal Tax Service will take 3 working days (previously it was 5), after which you will be successfully registered as an entrepreneur or receive a refusal.

At the tax office where the documents were submitted, you will be given:

1. OGRNIP (Certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur).
2. Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (Extract from the state register individual entrepreneurs).
3. Form 2-3-Accounting (Notice of registration with the tax authority).
4. Depending on the branch, a notice of registration with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, a certificate of registration of the policyholder with the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, and a notice of assignment of statistics codes from Rosstat may also be issued. If all or part of these documents were not given to you by the tax office, then you will have to obtain them yourself.

If you put the appropriate mark on sheet B, then the documents from the tax office can be sent to you by mail. They will be sent to your registration address. To receive letters to your actual address, you need to submit an application in Form No. 1A.

What to do after registration

The documents have been received, the registration of the individual entrepreneur with the tax office has been successful.

1. Check your details at Nalog.ru.
2. Register with statistics, PF and for some types of activities with Rospotrebnadzor (depending on your OKVED, the list of codes for which registration is required can be downloaded Here). The tax office does not always register an entrepreneur. Although it is generally accepted that you will be automatically registered with the Pension Fund and statistics, in reality this often does not happen, and you will have to do everything yourself. If you have hired employees, you will have to register with the pension. Read more about processes.
3. If necessary, order a print. Individual entrepreneur in Russian Federation can work without a seal, but in many situations it is indispensable (for example, during regular banking operations), in addition, the presence of a seal will help in the future to save on certification of signatures by a notary. You can order it from any of the many companies producing seals and stamps, providing:

• photocopy of TIN;
• on one sheet of paper a copy of the passport and registration;
• photocopies of OGRN and USRIP.

1. If you plan to receive non-cash payments, you should open a bank account. You will need the same documents as for making the seal.
2. If necessary, purchase and register with the tax authorities.

Why can they refuse to open an individual entrepreneur?

Registration of an individual entrepreneur may be denied if:

1. Not all documents are presented or in the wrong place.
2. Errors or false information were found in the documents.
3. The individual entrepreneur has already been registered or was declared bankrupt less than a year ago.
4. Registration is prevented by a court verdict and there is a ban on entrepreneurial activity.

If you receive a refusal, you can appeal it to the Federal Tax Service. Only after this can you go to court, but such a procedure will be quite expensive. It is much cheaper and faster to submit documents again and pay the state fee.

What does individual entrepreneur status give?

1. This gives greater freedom both in the provision of services and in cooperation with other companies. A company providing services is more likely to enter into an agreement with an individual entrepreneur than with a simple individual, because the relationship with the latter can always be designated as labor, with additional taxes being assessed to the employer.
2. You pay your own taxes and contributions to funds, which means you manage your income yourself.
3. You are responsible before the law with your property. Therefore, individual entrepreneurs should always be careful and not get into debt.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is an individual entrepreneur allowed to change the name?

An individual entrepreneur has the right to come up with any name that does not infringe on the rights of another registered company, but only the individual entrepreneur’s full name must be used in documents.

Is it possible to register an individual entrepreneur not according to registration, but at the address of residence?

This option is only possible if you do not have a permanent residence permit, but a temporary one is given for a period of more than six months. After registration, you can engage in entrepreneurial activity anywhere in the Russian Federation.

Does an individual entrepreneur count his pension experience?

Yes. It starts from the day of registration and does not depend on the income of the entrepreneur.

Can an individual entrepreneur make entries in his work record?

Theoretically possible, but pointless. An individual entrepreneur has the right to hire himself, enter into an agreement with himself, enter this into the work book, but also pay pension and insurance contributions for himself as an employee, which in practice is too expensive.

Can an individual entrepreneur get a job as an employee for another company?

Yes maybe. This will not affect your taxes as an entrepreneur, and the employer is not at all required to know that you have your own business.

Is it permissible for an individual entrepreneur to register with a temporary registration?

It can only when the passport does not indicate a permanent residence address. Even if you are registered in another city, you can send documents by letter. In the future, you will be able to conduct your activities in any city, regardless of registration and place of registration of the individual entrepreneur.

Does an individual entrepreneur need a special TIN, different from the TIN of the employee?

No, an individual entrepreneur acts according to his TIN, regardless of when and where it was assigned. Each citizen has one TIN for life.

Individual entrepreneurship is one of the most common forms of doing business. A person who has become an individual entrepreneur is an individual who has passed state registration - this means that he has the right to legally engage in entrepreneurial activities. Opening an individual entrepreneur at the initial stage is the optimal solution to reduce the costs of creating and maintaining a business.

Let's take a closer look at the advantages of individual entrepreneurship.

Advantages of IP:

• favorable taxation (when using the simplified tax system, patent, UTII, no tax on dividends);
• the possibility of applying the Patent taxation system;
• the possibility of exemption from the Trade Tax (for PSN);
• Individual entrepreneurs have a simpler opening procedure;
• minor fines;
• there is no need to register a branch;
• ease of doing business (minimal paperwork, simplified reporting);
• work experience and the right to social benefits.

Prohibitions on registration as an individual entrepreneur:

There are a number of conditions under which an individual does not have the right to register an individual entrepreneurship:

• position of a civil servant;
• there is a court injunction to entrepreneurial activity.
• some types of activities;

Main stages of registration of an individual entrepreneur

Stage I. Preparation of documents and opening of an individual entrepreneur.

• Selecting types of activities and a suitable taxation system.
• Collecting and filling out documents (application to the Federal Tax Service on form P21001; OKVED selection; state fee for registration of individual entrepreneur status - 800 rubles; notification of transition to the simplified tax system or patent (if necessary). Additionally, you need to prepare a copy of your passport. We recommend completing this stage remotely, by exchanging data via email or other means of communication, which will save time and reduce the number of trips to the office.
• Going to the administrative body to register an individual entrepreneurship. An individual entrepreneur can only be registered with the tax office at his home address. In the absence of permanent registration, it is allowed to submit documents for temporary registration, i.e. at the place of stay. You can submit documents to the tax office either personally or through an authorized representative. A power of attorney for submitting documents to the territorial tax office will require a notarized one, as well as an Application with a copy of the individual entrepreneur’s passport. In case of personal submission, documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs are not certified by a notary. It is possible to send a set of completed documents remotely by post in a valuable letter with a list of attachments or in the form of electronic documents with digital signature.

Stage II (optional). Making a seal

This procedure is not at all mandatory, but most entrepreneurs decide that such an attribute is necessary. The printing can be manual or automatic, ink-filled or multi-colored - there is no clear guide to the content and design (however, there are details without which they will not open a bank account if you decide to use printing on a bank card - these are OPF, full name, OGRNIP and place location of IP). Any other information, such as TIN, OKPO or website address, can be added additionally.

Stage III (optional). Opening a bank account and purchasing a cash register (CCT).

You should go to the bank with a Certificate of Registration of an Individual Entrepreneur, an Extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, an INN, a passport and a stamp. Some banks ask to provide individual entrepreneur statistics codes, although this document is excluded from the list of required documents for opening a current account. From May 1, 2014, the obligation to notify funds about the opening/closing of accounts is canceled; clause 1 of part 3 of Art. 28 Federal Law No. 212 “On Insurance Contributions...” Notifying the tax office about opening a current account is also no longer required; paragraphs 1 and 1.1 of Article 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which established such an obligation, have been repealed.

The cash register is issued at retail trade and cash sales, if the simplified tax system is 6%, the simplified tax system is 15% or OSNO. In case of using UTII and Patent, cash machine you don't have to buy it. When providing household services to the population, you need to use either a cash register or a BSO under any tax system.

And registration will cost 30 times more than as an individual entrepreneur, and this is in the fortunate case that the documents are accepted the first time.

Option 4. OJSC. Public corporation. If you do not have a large organization operating at the regional and state level, then there is no point in delving into the specifics of this structure.

Wanting to start a business and engage in entrepreneurial activity, the founder of a small or medium-sized business is faced with an inevitable procedure documentation your company. Complete and detailed information on how to register an individual entrepreneur, what papers to prepare and where to submit, is absolutely necessary for correct and timely registration.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, individual entrepreneurship (IP) is this type of economic activity, the subject of which is an individual. The staff of his company may consist of one person (founder and manager) or include several employees.

Preparatory stage: once again weigh the pros and cons

The decision to register is a responsible step. After its implementation, the entrepreneur will not be able to “reverse”; from this moment it begins economic activity. By this time, the founder of the company is obliged to make a list of his economic goals, develop a strategy for future activities, that is, have a real business plan in hand. In the process of collecting information on how to correctly register an individual entrepreneur, as well as when studying various legal aspects of all activities, an entrepreneur should pay attention to his responsibility to the state. It consists of timely submission of reports, mandatory deduction of certain amounts to the budget and payment of taxes.

Is it worth registering as an individual entrepreneur?

It is no secret that many entrepreneurs may try to run their business in the so-called shadow sector. This means that they do not have any permits to carry out their activities, do not reflect the income they receive in any way and do not pay taxes. The reason is the fear that you will have to collect a package of documents and interact with government agencies, as well as the desire to reduce your expenses.

In contrast to dubious savings, several arguments can be made in favor of a legitimate business:

• The entire period during which a person is engaged in entrepreneurial activity is taken into account when calculating the pension period.
• There is no need to hide from representatives of the law or conceal your source of income.
• The procedure for obtaining visas to some countries may be simplified.
• The range of opportunities and business contacts is significantly increasing, since many company owners prefer to cooperate only with individual entrepreneurs or legal entities.
• It becomes possible to make non-cash payments.

Thus, we can conclude that any growth and development of a company involves searching for information on how to register an individual entrepreneur independently or through the mediation of special companies.

How are intermediaries useful?

In the case when future entrepreneur is well versed in the bureaucratic intricacies of domestic legislation and is able to understand numerous certificates, statements and reports, he may well take care of the registration of his activities himself.

For the rest, those who have no idea how to register an individual entrepreneur on their own, the services of intermediary organizations are available.

Their employees will readily help you collect the necessary documents, make a seal, open a bank account, and also tell you which government agency you should contact at what stage.

Of course, their work requires appropriate payment.

How to register an individual entrepreneur: step-by-step instructions in general terms

Knowledge of the procedure for registering an individual entrepreneur and the sequence of actions is necessary for both categories of citizens: those who carry out the procedure themselves, and those who turn to intermediaries.

All actions can be divided into several stages:

Today, there are several taxation options for individual entrepreneurs. You should decide on the choice of system before registering an individual entrepreneur.

The differences between the types are related to the type of activity of the entrepreneur and the amount of his planned profit.

Types of taxation and their characteristics: general system

This is the name given to the system that is used by default. That is, it comes into force when no other is selected. Its main condition is mandatory control of financial transactions, as well as quarterly reporting (submitted to the tax inspector).

Before registering as an individual entrepreneur and choosing a general system, you should find out that the entrepreneur will have to deduct 20% of the profit (the difference between income and expenses).

Also on the list of mandatory deductions are:

• Property tax. It is paid when the organization owns any equipment, real estate or machinery.
• Value added tax. Its size is 18% of the amount of goods sold or services provided.

The amount of deductions depends on the size of the business. It is paid every quarter.

Interestingly, an entrepreneur is not required to use a cash register to record transactions made for cash.

Patents and the patent system

Only some entrepreneurs are eligible for taxation under this system. The patent is relevant for companies with a small staff (up to 5 people) and an annual income of up to 60 million rubles.

Usage cash register equipment also optional. An entrepreneur does not have to submit reports, he does not need to visit a tax inspector often, he just needs to pay for a patent (valid from one month to a year) and correctly keep records of income in a special book.

Code selection procedure

Each type of business activity corresponds to a specific individual code, which is indicated in the all-Russian classifier.

This document lists all the main industries and areas: food industry, Agriculture, various types of trade and construction.

By indicating the selected code when registering an individual entrepreneur, the entrepreneur determines which taxation system will be applied to him.

When thinking about how best to register an individual entrepreneur and selecting a code, you should use only the new classification (compiled in 2014). Additionally, the structure of this document may be subject to change, so you should pay close attention to any updates.

What documents will be needed for registration?

The package submitted to the tax office must include:

• Passport or a copy of it if registration is carried out by mail.
• A receipt certifying payment of the state fee.
• A copy of the identification code.
• Application with a request to open an individual entrepreneur (in the case when the package is sent by mail, the application must be certified by a notary).
• A document notifying which taxation system has been chosen by the entrepreneur.

The collected papers are submitted to the tax office branch at the place of registration or sent by mail. One day after receipt, the entrepreneur becomes the owner of a registration certificate, taxpayer identification number and an extract from the unified state register.

After this, information about the individual entrepreneur is automatically sent to the Pension Fund.

Current account and printing

Even before drawing up an agreement with an individual entrepreneur for the purchase or sale of goods, provision of services or other type of cooperation, many companies and firms are interested in the possibility of conducting financial transactions by bank transfer.

Often, the lack of an official account with an individual entrepreneur becomes an obstacle to making the most profitable transactions. Therefore, those entrepreneurs who are determined to receive large contracts and orders immediately after registration apply to Rosstat for OKVED statistics codes.

A day after submitting a receipt for payment for the services of this state body, a copy of the identification code and documents received upon registration with the tax office, the entrepreneur receives the necessary codes in duplicate, as well as a letter certifying registration. Now you can open a current account, which will need to be notified to the tax inspectorate and pension fund.

A stamp, like a bank account, is not a mandatory requirement for individual entrepreneurs. However, with this attribute, the status of the company increases significantly and the possibility of promising cooperation with other organizations appears.

A seal is also needed to fill out work books for employees. If the head of a small company needs information on how to register an employee as an individual entrepreneur, he should contact Labor Code and other administrative documents.

When hiring the first employee, the entrepreneur will have to comply with several mandatory rules and register as an employer (pension and social insurance funds).

In the future, the hiring procedure will practically not differ from standard employment.

Before planning an expansion of staff, the head of a small business should find out about the existing restrictions:

• Working according to a simplified system, the owner of a company can hire no more than one hundred people.
• For a taxation system that provides for a single tax, the limit is the same (up to one hundred employees).
• Individual entrepreneurs who have paid for the patent can hire up to five workers.

It should be taken into account that we are talking about the average number of employees. Therefore, if an entrepreneur has two employees and the shift of each of them is half a working day, then the timesheet indicators will be equal to the productivity of one person.

Knowledge of the rules and regulations governing the provisions of the law on how to register an individual entrepreneur for the work of performers and assistants will help to avoid fines and other penalties.
