By law in Russia, every citizen engaged in commercial activities is required to register as an individual entrepreneur and have a certificate confirming this. And although registering an individual entrepreneur is quite a troublesome matter, it cannot be called complicated. In order to obtain the status of an individual entrepreneur and put the business on a legal footing, you first need to prepare a certain package of documents. This can be done either independently or with the help of professional intermediaries. In this article we will talk about what documents are needed in different cases.

Register yourself

Any individual who has Russian citizenship has the right to submit documents for legal registration as an individual entrepreneur. The exception is for persons in the public service (for example, notaries, judges, employees of the prosecutor's office, tax inspectorate, etc.), as well as those who have already been engaged in some type of business activity and suffered a fiasco in the form of official bankruptcy. The last category of citizens can try to obtain a new certificate of an individual entrepreneur no earlier than a year after the bankruptcy procedure. Citizens of other countries, as well as stateless persons, the so-called stateless persons, can become individual entrepreneurs in Russia.

So, what documents are needed for state registration of an individual entrepreneur?

First of all, you need to decide on and choose a tax regime

To create a correct and complete package of documents, you first need to decide on the direction of your commercial activity. In a documentary version, the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities (OKVED) will help to cope with this task. It was developed in the form of certain codes with their exact decoding. Once the direction of the business has been determined, it is necessary to decide which taxation system it is intended to operate under.

In our country, there are two types of taxation for individual entrepreneurs: general and simplified. The General System of Taxation (OSNO) includes all those entrepreneurs who did not document their desire to work under the Simplified Taxation System (STS) when registering an individual entrepreneur.

OSNO and simplified taxation system differ in that entrepreneurs working under OSNO must pay VAT (value added tax), property and profit tax, conduct accounting activities in full, including a journal of income and expenses and registration of business transactions. Those who have chosen the simplified tax system do not pay VAT, property and profit tax, but once every three months they must pay the single tax simplified tax system for everyone and once a year submit to tax office income statement. In our country, the simplified tax system is more common because it gives a lower tax burden. However, it is OSNO that is considered classic and is a kind of confirmation of the seriousness of the businessman’s intentions, and also provides more chances for concluding long-term partnerships with major business representatives. If a future businessman did not submit a petition to switch to the simplified tax system when registering an individual entrepreneur, and automatically remained on OSNO, then it will be possible to switch to the “simplified system” no earlier than three months (quarter) after receiving a certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur.

List of documents for personal registration of individual entrepreneurs

Personal registration of an individual entrepreneur here means going to the tax office to submit documents manually. The list of documents in this case is as follows:

1. Passport, with photocopies of pages containing basic information about the owner (as a rule, a copy of the spread with a photograph and a page with a stamp indicating registration at the place of residence are sufficient).
2. Application for state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur (). The form is filled out in block letters, indicating OKVED codes and details of the registering authority (tax office). Corrections, errors, cross-outs and other blots are strictly prohibited.
3. an individual with a photocopy.
4. Kvitok (for 2016 it is 800 rubles). You can pay the state duty at any nearby Sberbank branch.
5. - optional.

A week after submitting the package of documents, you will need to personally go to the tax office and pick up the completed individual entrepreneur registration certificate.

Documents for opening an individual entrepreneur through the Russian Post Office

In general, the list of documents for opening an individual entrepreneur through the post office is almost the same as when submitting it in person to the tax authority. The only thing that must be done is have all copies notarized, otherwise state registration will be denied. In addition, when sending documents by mail, you must make and send a package by registered mail with notification of delivery. The disadvantage of submitting documents via mail is the longer wait. As a rule, the registration period increases to an average of three weeks.

Documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs via the Internet

Today you can submit the necessary documents for registering an individual entrepreneur through online systems. To do this, you need to use the official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. In this case, all documents will be generated automatically; the potential entrepreneur only needs to, indicating OKVED, enter passport data and TIN, and also pay the state fee. The state fee can also be paid through any online bank offered by the system.

The main thing is to print out the receipt and be sure to save it in order to present it to the tax authority.

On final stage To submit a virtual application, you need to choose a method for obtaining a certificate. The service offers three options: issuing the certificate to the applicant in person, issuing it to the person who provided the power of attorney to receive the certificate, or receiving the certificate by mail. In the first two cases, you will have to go to the tax office at your place of residence.

List of documents for opening an individual entrepreneur with the help of an intermediary

Some budding entrepreneurs do not want to deal with the paperwork that accompanies state registration of individual entrepreneurs. In this case, professional lawyers are ready to help, for a fee. But based on the documents provided by the customer, they will fill out the same application, make all the necessary copies and send them to the tax service. The only thing a future individual entrepreneur will need to do is to issue a notarized power of attorney for the intermediary. The certificate will be ready in due time.

Documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs by a foreign citizen

Foreign citizens also have the right to open their own business and obtain the status of an individual entrepreneur in the Russian Federation. To do this, a foreigner, in addition to the above-mentioned standard documents and their photocopies, must have temporary or permanent registration at the place of residence within our country, originals and copies of documents permitting and confirming his right to reside in Russia, as well as a birth certificate with a copy. The entire remaining set of documents, as well as the registration procedure, are identical to those that a citizen of the Russian Federation goes through.

What's the result?

The standard package for legal registration of entrepreneurial activity is not that large, and the procedure for registering an individual entrepreneur takes only a few days. It is quite possible to collect documents and send them to the tax service yourself. Practice shows that this is the path chosen by the majority of future individual entrepreneurs in Russia.

Recently, there have been many people who want to register an individual business, because this requires a minimum of documents, and the registration procedure itself is quite simple.

• copies must be made of all pages;
• a copy of each page must be provided on a separate sheet, and double-sided printing is prohibited;
• all sheets of the copy must be sewn together, and the tax inspector must receive the documents in exactly this form.

It is necessary to register an individual entrepreneur directly at the place of your registration, but at the same time you can carry out your activities throughout Russia.

You must obtain an identification number in advance. It is also issued by tax inspectors, as it is required for registration of individual entrepreneurship. If you do not provide your TIN along with your application, then you may be denied registration.

It is worth noting that you can submit an application for this document along with an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur, and in this case, in five days you will immediately receive both an identification number and a certificate of registration. A copy of the TIN must be provided on a separate A4 paper.

Before applying, it is important to review operating systems taxation, decide on the future type of activity and, accordingly, select the necessary OKVED codes. The standard application form is printed according to form P21001 and includes five sheets. If you wish, you can fill out the application completely on the computer and then print it out, but it is important to remember that to fill out all the items you need to enter characters in Courier New font size 18 point.

Special attention should be paid to sheet B, since it contains your full name. must be entered exclusively manually. In principle, you can fill it out completely by hand, but to do this you will first need to print the form. The most important thing is to write only in capital letters and only in black ink.

When filling out the application, the main thing is to remember a few basic rules:

• document format for passport – 21;
• you need to put two spaces between the number and series of the civil passport;
• the place of birth must be indicated in accordance with the one listed in your passport;
• There is no rule for filling out page 003 for individuals;
• on sheet B you need to fill in your full name. exclusively by hand;
• The telephone number must be filled in along with the country code without any spaces.

This sheet will be returned to you immediately after all documents have been submitted.

You can obtain the details for paying the state duty by personally contacting the Federal Tax Service office or by looking at the relevant information on the official website. In 2017, the size is set at 800 rubles, which can be paid at any Sberbank branch without paying any commission.

The paid receipt must be attached to the first page of the application, and a standard paper clip can be used for this.

There is also an online service that allows you to pay state fees remotely by bank transfer. If you used this payment method, you will no longer need to attach a receipt.

The transition to a simplified tax system is provided only for representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, allowing them to submit reports under simplified conditions. This system uses two main rates: 6% and 15%, while each entrepreneur has the right to independently choose which type of rate suits him.

In any case, if you are going to register a business using a simplified system, you must also submit a corresponding application to the Federal Tax Service, which is submitted to the authorities along with the rest of the documents for registration or during 30 days after the registration procedure is completed.

If the application is not submitted within the established time frame, the entrepreneur is automatically assigned to the main system, in which reporting is much more complex, and on top of this there is also significant taxation.

Having collected all the documents, you can go to the local tax authority, where all the documentation is handed over to the tax inspector with a receipt stating that your documentation has been accepted, and after that you will only have to wait for the registration notification

Additional points

Among other things, to register an individual entrepreneurship, you need to register with the Mandatory Fund health insurance And Pension Fund. After the registration procedure, the tax authority must send data about the new subject of activity to these authorities, while the entrepreneur himself is sent a notification by mail that his personal data is registered with the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the Pension Fund.

It is mandatory to register with these funds, and this is done at the place in which the individual entrepreneur is registered. If the entrepreneur does not intend to hire any additional employees, he is registered automatically. An individual entrepreneur can make a fixed contribution every month or quarterly.

If a businessman is going to use the services of hired workers, he must register with each of the funds as an employer, and also make a mandatory monthly payment for each employee.

Also in accordance with current legislation it is necessary to open a current account. An entrepreneur has the right to independently decide whether he needs this account to conduct his business, as well as carry out any monetary transactions.

If in the future the individual entrepreneur intends to receive any funds for services provided or pay for services and materials by bank transfer, the use of such an account is also necessary. Also, if transactions are made for an amount exceeding 100 000 rubles, an individual entrepreneur must open his own current account.

If an individual entrepreneur already has a current account, then fixed payments, tax deductions and various social contributions can be paid from it. If this account is opened, information about this event must be passed on to the tax service by bank employees, and nothing is required from the entrepreneur.

To open your own current account, you need to provide the bank with the following package of documents:

• copy state certificate about registration, certified by a notary;
• a copy of the identification code certified by a notary;
• a copy of the extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, which must be issued in less than 30 days before opening an account;
• copy of passport;
• a copy of the notice from the statistics service department;
• licenses and permits to conduct their activities.

It is also worth noting that in some banks, in the process of opening an account, the provision of an entrepreneur’s seal is required, which is, in fact, optional, but is set as a mandatory requirement by some financial institutions. Among other things, having a seal when conducting any commercial transactions increases trust on the part of partners. The seal can be made either in a standard round shape or in any other shape.

An individual entrepreneur who does not use the services of hired workers must pay several mandatory payments:

• 6% on the amount of income or 15% on the volume of profit (depending on what interest rate the entrepreneur chooses);
• fixed contribution to the Pension Fund;
• 13% Personal income tax on the income of each employee (if any).

Preparation for registration of an individual entrepreneur includes several main stages.

The first stage is the preparation of information, during which you need to decide on the type of activity that you are going to conduct (in order to select the appropriate OKVED codes), as well as the taxation system that you will use.

After completing all these procedures, you can submit a package of documents to the Federal Tax Service at your place of residence. You need to hand over the papers to the tax inspector against a signature, and he must also inform you of the time frame within which your application must be considered. If the guarantor is responsible for filing all the papers, the receipt is sent to you by mail.

Almost all papers will require printouts, since they must be submitted in two copies. It is also necessary to make a photocopy of all pages of the passport in advance so as not to waste your time on this later.

During

When designing, you should consider the following nuances:

1. The full name is entered with a black gel pen (for sheet B).
2. It is necessary to leave spaces in the “passport series and number” field.
3. Instead of “8” at the beginning you need to indicate “+7”, then write the number without spaces (for a telephone).

You can fill out the receipt for payment of the state duty yourself, but to do this you need to download it on the official website of Sberbank www.sbrf.ru.

All necessary details must be obtained from the tax office by first filling out all the necessary fields on their website: service.nalog.ru.

Subsequent procedures

When the registration procedure is completed, you can safely go to the tax office for the results. If a person has done everything correctly, and civil service employees see no reason for refusal, he will receive the status of an individual entrepreneur.

2. Certificate of registration with the tax service.

If any of the documents is not issued on the spot, you will need to register with the relevant service and obtain it yourself. When all the necessary papers have been received, you can begin manufacturing, opening a current account and obtaining a license.

The only requirement for documents is their correct design. In addition, an individual must provide the tax service with a complete list of papers that were given above. Otherwise, the person will be refused registration as an individual entrepreneur.

But it is worth considering one more nuance regarding the passport, which is that to undergo the procedure you cannot have temporary and permanent registration at the same time. That is, the registration process must be completed at the place of residence.

It is also worth saying a few words regarding. They indicate the type of activity that the entrepreneur will engage in and are indicated in the application. There can be any number of them, so a person should not be afraid to take into account the prospects for the development of his business in the future.

Registration is also possible through MFC (multifunctional center). Such organizations operate only in large regions; their main advantage is the speed of execution of certain operations.

The package of documents is no different from what is needed for the tax office. The fee can be paid directly at the MFC, receive a receipt and attach it to the rest of the papers.

You will not have to overpay for the services of a multifunctional center, since the cost of all procedures is fixed at the state level.

Cost of opening an individual entrepreneur

It is important to take into account that in addition to the registration method described above, there is another one - through a specialized company. Employees of such organizations provide advice on all necessary issues, and also help fill out documents, make a seal and open an account. The prices for their services exceed the cost of state duty, but this factor is unlikely to surprise anyone.

The procedure for opening an individual entrepreneur is described in this video.

On one's own

In 2017, the cost of state duty for opening an individual entrepreneur is 800 rubles. Next are two optional procedures that you can also perform yourself:

• printing production (from 500 to 1200 rubles);
• (from 0 to 2500 rubles, depending on the bank).

Self-registration will take from one to four weeks, and is much faster in the central cities of Russia.

Through the company

Services of various companies vary in cost from 1 to 5 thousand rubles. However, the state duty is not included in this amount. Sometimes company employees carry out some additional actions, for example, order printing, but they may require a separate payment for this. In general, it all depends on the organization itself, but the difference in price when compared with self-registration will still be obvious.

Problems and difficulties

First, it’s worth considering the main reasons why a person may be denied registration as an individual entrepreneur. Among them, the most common are:

• submission of an incomplete package of documents or their incorrect execution;
• deliberate replacement of one's own data, fraud;
• providing papers to several tax authorities simultaneously;
• a valid business ban sentence;
• bankruptcy of an individual.

All these factors stall the registration procedure, and subsequently the person is simply refused. In addition, foreigners who have not received temporary registration also do not have the opportunity to open their own enterprise.

After receiving the status of an individual entrepreneur, you can continue to work in any company officially. It is not necessary to inform management about the emergence of your own business.

In case of non-payment of taxes, a person will also face problems. The fact is that at any moment, due to failure to fulfill duties, or rather, violation of the rules established normative act, valuables and real estate may be taken from an individual.

All of the above must be taken into account by every person who wants to become an individual entrepreneur within the framework of the law. This status carries with it a great responsibility that not everyone can handle. But it gives you the right to develop in your own direction and run a business at any level.

Additional information regarding the procedures after opening an individual entrepreneur is in this video.

When a person decides to become an individual entrepreneur, the priority becomes the question of what documents are needed to register an individual entrepreneur.

There are several stages in preparing to register an individual entrepreneur.

Stage 1: Preparation of data for individual entrepreneur registration

Before submitting documents for registration as an individual entrepreneur, you need to decide:

• with the type of economic activity of the individual entrepreneur, choosing OKVED codes for individual entrepreneurs (All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities);
• with the tax system.

From the Classifier, select the code of the type of activity you plan to engage in. It is this code (it is indicated in the application for registration of individual entrepreneurs) that will be the main one.

The group of OKVED codes you have chosen includes the entire junior subgroup of codes. The code of the main group, and not all subgroups, is entered into the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. There is no limit to the number of activity codes you can select.

To choose the right taxation system, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Chapter 26.2).

Today there are two options for the taxation system. Namely:

• general taxation system, which includes: VAT (value added tax), personal income tax (personal income tax) and property tax;
• special taxation systems, which include: simplified taxation system (simplified taxation system), UTII (unified tax on imputed income), taxation system for the implementation of production sharing agreements and a single agricultural tax.

The simplified taxation system involves the payment of one tax (instead of all of the above) while maintaining the current procedure for conducting cash transactions and the procedure for submitting reports.

An individual entrepreneur has the opportunity, during registration with the tax service, to submit an application for the application of the simplified tax system.

An individual entrepreneur has the right to switch to another taxation system by notifying the tax office in advance (but no later than January 15 of the year in which the transition to another tax regime is expected).

The simplified tax system has two options:

1. Rate 6%;
2. Rate 15%.

To use the simplified taxation system for individual entrepreneurs, it is necessary that the entrepreneur’s staff does not exceed 100 people.

Stage 2: Documents required for individual entrepreneur registration

Once you have decided on the type of activity according to OKVED and decided which taxation system you will use, you can begin to prepare documents for registering an individual entrepreneur.

Stage 3: Submission of documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs to the tax service

After all documents for individual entrepreneur registration are completed (and certified) and the state duty is paid, you can submit them to the Federal Tax Service at your place of residence.

The tax inspector accepts your documents against receipt. He also informs you about the time frame within which you will receive the completed documents.

If the documents are submitted to the Federal Tax Service by your authorized representative, the receipt will be sent to you by mail.
