Method 3: Self-registration of IP - 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 codes of the activity that you indicate when registering it.

It is necessary to decide on your codes before filling out the registration application, since they will be useful there. The list of them is huge, and the law does not limit the choice of entrepreneurs.

First, you specify the main code most accurately describing your future activities, and then choose all more or less suitable.

• Download OKVED2

Even if you will not deal with some industry at the beginning, but perhaps include it in your work later, its code should be indicated. "They won't ask you" for too long a list, but add OKVED codes after registration can be a hassle.

The main OKVED code will depend on:

1. insurance tariff of the FSS;
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 criminal record certificate will be required).

Choosing a tax regime for individual entrepreneurs

Before finally deciding on the tax regime, all the 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 STS from profit.

It would not be superfluous to read detailed articles on our website about each of the special modes before registering an individual entrepreneur:

• A single tax on imputed income

OSNO (general)	USN (simplified)	UTII (imputed)	Patent
The base tax you are at, unless you have filed 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 the service and trade sectors. A limited list of activities and cities to which the system is applicable.
Paid on income from their activities.	6% of all income is paid - more profitable with low costs; or 15% of profit (income minus expenses) - it is more profitable for large expenses, if they are confirmed and taken into account.	up to 50% of the amount paid to the Pension Fund. If there are no employees, a reduction is possible up to 100%	An entrepreneur buys a patent for the conduct of each a certain kind activities
Quarterly reporting	If there is no income, you do not need to pay	The 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	It is easy to keep records, the rate depends on the type of activity, the number of employees, area and other parameters. Expenses are not included.
		No more than 100 employees.	No more than 15 employees

The modes can be combined if desired. Only USN and OSNO are not compatible, you will have to choose one of them.

It is best to start registering an individual entrepreneur right away with a simplified form. Later you can easily switch to UTII or Patent.

Let's move on to the practical part

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

• This can be done manually on a printed form or electronically, but please note that if you choose electronic filling, on Sheet B, the full name and signature will in any case have to be written by hand (black pen, printed capital letters). It is better to leave this place empty before joining the IFTS and fill it out with a tax officer. In many regions, this is a must.
• Any other corrections or additions in pen on the printed statement are not permitted.
• If you are not personally submitting an application to the tax office, then the signature must be certified by a notary (this service will cost about 500 rubles).
• You do not need to stitch or fasten the sheets. Documents should always be printed on one side.
• If sheet 003 is not completed, then it is not required 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 duplicate), 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 registering authority.

Step 6. Return for the results in three working days.

As you can see, everything will have to be filled out on the computer with your own hands, which is not very convenient. Therefore, use the first 2 methods better!

1. Fill in and certify a power of attorney with a notary.
2. Also certify a copy of your passport, your signature on the application.

Obtaining documents from the tax office

Consideration of documents in the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate will take 3 working days (before 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 natural person as individual entrepreneur).
2. EGRIP (Extract from the state register of individual entrepreneurs).
3. Form 2-3-Accounting (Notification of registration with the tax authority).
4. Depending on the branch, a notification of registration with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, a certificate of registration of the policyholder with the MHIF and a notification of the assignment of statistics codes from Rosstat may also be issued. If all or part of these documents were not issued to you at the tax office, then you will have to obtain them yourself.

If you have ticked 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 the registration address. To receive letters to the actual address, you need to submit an application in the form No. 1A.

What to do after registration

The documents were received, the registration of the individual entrepreneur with the tax office was successful.

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

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

1. If non-cash receipts are planned, it is worth opening a bank account. You will need the same documents as for making a seal.
2. If necessary, purchase and register with the tax office.

Why may they refuse to open an IP

An individual entrepreneur may be refused registration if:

1. Not all documents are presented or not there.
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 impeded by a court verdict, and there is a ban on entrepreneurial activity.

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

What does the IP status give

1. This gives a lot of freedom both in the provision of services and in cooperation with other companies. The company providing services is more likely to conclude 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 charged to the employer.
2. You yourself pay your taxes and contributions to funds, which means you yourself manage your income.
3. Before the law, you are responsible with your property. Therefore, individual entrepreneurs should always be careful not to go into debt.

Good luck to you and your business!

Every year the number of Russians who have decided to start their own business is increasing. There are good reasons for this: financial independence, self-realization, making your dreams come true and stability.

Novice businessmen are in no hurry to open firms and companies. Preference is given to such a form of doing business as an individual entrepreneur. You can get this status in five days. Business activities allowed to conduct from the moment of reaching full adulthood, provided that the citizen was not previously recognized as incapacitated and there are no corresponding prohibitions of state structures.

The registration procedure is absolutely simple and not complicated. In order to avoid refusal, it is necessary to correctly form the documents for registration of an individual entrepreneur.

All papers can be submitted independently or entrust this task to a trusted person.

What documents are needed for registration of an individual entrepreneur:

1. Form P21001.
2. Copy of a civil passport.
3. Receipt for payment of state duty.
4. Application in the form No26.2-1. This document must be drawn up by those entrepreneurs who plan to use the simplified taxation system. The form can also be submitted within one month from the date of registration of the individual entrepreneur. If the applicant misses this point, then taxes will be charged according to the general system.

If documents are submitted for registration of an individual entrepreneur by a minor, then notarial permission of his legal representatives is additionally provided. To open own business no additional papers are required.

Since April 29, 2019, no paper registration documents will be issued. They are sent to electronic form to the IP mail specified in the application.

If a businessman needs paper documents, then they can be taken from the tax service or the MFC.

If an entrepreneur will use wage labor, then you need to register twice:

1. Registration of an individual entrepreneur as a taxpayer with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, MHIF, FSS.
2. Registration of an entrepreneur as an employer. He will pay contributions not only for himself, but also for hired employees.

The Law states that after signing an employment contract with employees, an individual entrepreneur is given ten days to register as an employer. Submit the relevant documents to Pension Fund needed within one month.

If this requirement is not met, then a fine of 5-10 thousand rubles is charged for each fund in which the businessman did not register. An entrepreneur provides his registration documents when hiring only the first employee.

After the dismissal of all employees, you must be deregistered. Otherwise, you will have to submit reports to the appropriate funds.

We have already found out what is needed for registration of an IP. Citizens shouldn't have any difficulties with preparation. The main thing is to fill in the P21001 application correctly. If mistakes are made in it, the IP registration will be refused. Information is indicated with a black pen.

When entering information in the form, you need to especially focus on the following points:

• the correct name of the registering unit;
• The name of the applicant on sheet "B" is prescribed with black paste;
• place of birth is indicated according to the passport;
• when specifying the type of document "passport", you need to indicate "21";
• the phone number starts with +7 and is written without spaces;
• on sheet "A" all OKVED codes that the entrepreneur plans to keep are indicated;
• only the data of the civil passport must be indicated in the form;
• in the column "district" you need to register the district in which the settlement is located. Residents of cities do not fill in this column;
• it is better not to sign the application in advance. Very often, tax inspectors require that the signature on the document be put in their presence.

If the application form was drawn up on a computer, nothing is entered in the printed version by hand. Exception - full name on sheet B. Sheets do not need to be stitched or fastened.

The applicant submits the collected package of papers personally to tax office or sends them by mail.

The current legislation provides for the submission of papers to. These powers can only be entrusted to a capable person. But the applicant must remember about the additional costs, since he will also have to pay for the services of a notary. What documents are required for registration of an individual entrepreneur by proxy? The list of papers is standard, but they are certified by a notary. The trustee applies to the tax office and presents his power of attorney to represent the interests of the applicant and his civil passport.

From the businessman himself, it will be required:

1. application for registration with the signature of the applicant, certified by a notary;
2. a copy of the passport, certified by a notary;
3. receipt for payment of state duty;
4. power of attorney;
5. application for the transition to the "simplified" system.

A citizen of Russia and a foreigner legally staying in the territory of the Russian Federation can act as a confidant. A businessman independently decides whether to personally submit documents or entrust this procedure to a third party.

To register an individual entrepreneur, a taxpayer identification number (TIN) is required. It consists of 10 digits and does not change throughout life. If a citizen has previously received a code, but has lost a certificate of its issuance, the document can be restored.

To do this, an individual applies to the tax office at the place of residence and provides the following papers:

• a statement indicating the request to issue a duplicate of the TIN certificate;
• the passport;
• receipt for payment of state duty:
• urgent issue of TIN - 400 rubles, standard procedure - 200 rubles.

A duplicate of the certificate is issued on the day the application is submitted.

If a citizen does not have a TIN, then he must be obtained before registering an individual entrepreneur.

You can issue a certificate in one of the following ways:

1. Personally contact the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence and draw up an appropriate application. The document is issued in 5 days.
2. Submit an application on the FTS website on the Internet. If the paper is drawn up correctly, then after 5 days a message will be sent to the e-mail, which indicates the date of issue of the certificate. On this day, you should visit the tax office and get a TIN.
3. Send an application for the issuance of a code by registered mail... A copy of the passport, certified by a notary, is attached to it.

A citizen of Russia has the right to make a note on the TIN assigned to him in his passport on page 18. This stamp is put in the Federal Tax Service at the place of residence. In this case, when submitting documents to an individual, there is no need to additionally provide a certificate of TIN issuance, but only one passport is enough.

The law establishes the criteria for applicants and the list of requested documents. Described and possible reasons refusal to register an individual entrepreneur. They need to be analyzed in advance to avoid such mistakes.

Most often, they can refuse if:

1. The application is not in the correct format or contains errors. No blots are allowed in the document, and the specified data are genuine and correspond to the passport.
2. The applicant provided an incomplete package of papers.
3. The businessman made a mistake with the choice of the registration authority. He only needs to apply to the tax office at the place of registration.
4. The applicant is already registered as an individual entrepreneur and has not completed the process of liquidating his status. The legislation prohibits having two certificates of individual entrepreneurship.
5. The citizen was deprived of the right to lead commercial activities on the basis of a court decision.
6. The applicant acted before as an individual entrepreneur and his business went bankrupt, then for 12 months he was prohibited from submitting documents for registration.

Registration will be refused when choosing the types of activities that are prohibited for entrepreneurs:

• production and sale of alcohol;
• release of drugs;
• air transportation;
• space activities;
• production and repair of aircraft;
• private security services;
• sale of electricity;
• services for the employment of individuals abroad.

If a businessman decides to engage in these types of activities, then he needs to register a legal entity. Before submitting documents, they need to be carefully checked or ask for help from intermediaries.

After the applicant has legalized his status and received the documents necessary for the business, he should choose a taxation system. This is very important point, on which the size of his future profit depends.

The most common system among aspiring entrepreneurs is "simplified". According to it, the tax is calculated according to two schemes. In addition, there are still four systems in operation: general, patent, UTII and unified agricultural tax (can be used if the share of the agricultural sector in business is at least 70%).

A general system is not an option for a budding entrepreneur. He must pay three types of taxes: personal income (13%), VAT (18%) and real estate tax. In this case, you cannot do without the help of an accountant, and these are additional costs.

According to the "simplification", everything is much easier and more understandable. A businessman will need to pay 6% of the proceeds or 5-15% of net profit depending on the type of activity and region. Tax is paid quarterly, and reports are submitted once a year (until April 30).

Which mode should you choose - 6% or 15%?

According to mathematical calculations, if expenses are no more than 60% of income, then it is more profitable to pay 6% of the tax. 15% of the difference should be chosen by those entrepreneurs whose expenses exceed 60%.

Minus STS 15% - the need to keep track of all expenses. Moreover, they must be justified. When checking, tax inspectors carefully study all the documentation.

Whichever taxation system is chosen, it can be changed. It is enough to draw up a corresponding statement to the tax office before the end of the current year. Under the new tariffs, he will be able to pay tax from January.

An individual entrepreneur can conduct his business with and without a seal. He makes this decision independently. If a businessman plans to actively negotiate with partners, conclude contracts, then it is better to order his own seal. So, it will look more solid and reliable in the eyes of counterparties.

Another important step is opening a bank account. You can do business without it, but it is not safe to carry out payments for cash, and not all partners will agree to them. It must be remembered that maximum amount a cash transaction between an individual entrepreneur and a legal entity is 100 thousand rubles under one agreement. Therefore, if a businessman plans long-term relationships with his counterparties, then he must open an account.

This service is offered by almost everyone Russian bank... And in which institution to open an account? It is necessary first of all to pay attention to the stability and reliability of the bank, and then to the tariffs that it offers.

For entrepreneurs, they offer a very convenient service - the "client-bank" system. The user can online control the balance of funds on accounts, generate statements, make payments.

In order not to visit a bank branch if necessary, withdraw cash, you can current account additionally open the map. In the client-bank, the entrepreneur transfers the amount he needs to the card and withdraws it from the ATM. It is very simple and convenient. He can also use the card abroad.

When choosing a bank, be sure to pay attention to the following points of tariffs:

• the cost of opening an account - the commission is charged once;
• how much does it cost to connect a "client-bank";
• monthly account maintenance;
• the cost of SMS notification;
• commission for making payments;
• the amount of payment for depositing and withdrawing funds from the account;
• accrual of interest income on the balance;
• tariffs for salary projects.

It is no longer necessary to notify the tax and Pension Fund about opening a current account. The bank employee provides the client with an agreement for settlement and cash services, tariffs and details. After that, the entrepreneur can use the account for making settlements, crediting money and paying payments.

Questions related to starting your own business in Russia

A novice entrepreneur may have dozens of questions related to starting a business.

Let's consider the main ones:

1. Is it possible to open an individual entrepreneur with a temporary registration? The law provides for the possibility of registration by temporary registration only if the passport does not have a permanent registration. But the temporary registration must be given at least 6 months ago. You can conduct business in any locality, regardless of the registration of an individual entrepreneur.
2. Can an individual entrepreneur make entries in work book? The entrepreneur is not considered an employee and does not enter any information into the labor force. But theoretically, he can apply himself to work if he wants to. In this case, he must conclude with himself labor contract, make notes in the labor book and pay all the due deductions.
3. Does an entrepreneur go for seniority? The retirement experience goes from the moment of opening an individual entrepreneur to its liquidation, regardless of whether the businessman made a profit or not.
4. Is it possible to work additionally? Additional employment is not prohibited. Moreover, an entrepreneur is not obliged to inform his employer about his own business.

The simplified tax system is very common among small and micro-businesses. There are two options for the interest rates of the simplified taxation system - 6% (from income) and 15% (with "income minus expenses"). You choose the interest rate yourself.

• If you chose 6%, then pay 6% of any income, and your expenses will not be of interest to the tax authorities (it is convenient if, for example, you provide some services and your expenses are much less than income).
• If you choose 15%, then subtract the amount of expenses from the amount of income and pay 15% of taxes from the resulting figure (it is convenient if, for example, you are trading something, that is, you first buy and then resell with your own margin). Moreover, all your expenses must be documented(checks, bills, acts, etc.).

If you plan to apply a simplified system, then you need to submit this notification in duplicate along with other documents upon registration. You can switch to simplified taxation only once a year, so if you do not apply right away, you will have to pay MUCH more taxes and carry on MUCH more complex accounting and reporting until the end of the current year.
