Self-registration of individual entrepreneurs. Frequently asked questions about registering an individual entrepreneur on your own

If you decide to start a business, then the least expensive option in terms of registering it would be to open an IP (Individual Entrepreneurship). The first steps in this direction must be taken towards the tax service at the place of registration (IFTS).

The constant in expenses when registering an individual entrepreneur will be single state duty. This is the minimum mandatory price you must pay in order to move forward with registering your business.

Additional costs may be added to this figure. They will depend on exactly how you decide to interact with the tax office: in person, through an intermediary, by mail or via the Internet.

You will also need to think about less significant acquisitions, without which the existence of the individual entrepreneur will be impossible.

List of components of the cost of opening an individual entrepreneur:

1. Tax contributions(state duty).
2. Notary Services(when registering through a proxy or by mail - certification of the individual entrepreneur’s signature on the application to the Federal Tax Service, certification of copies and firmware of the necessary documents (passport, Taxpayer Identification Number, application, execution and certification of a power of attorney for the person submitting documents to the Federal Tax Service).
3. Costs for purchasing an electronic signature(for opening an individual entrepreneur via the Internet and further online activities).
4. Other expenses(photocopies - passport, TIN, application, etc., purchase of a stamp, cash register, opening a bank account).

State duty for registration of individual entrepreneurs in 2019

For 2019, the cost of the state duty for the initial opening of an individual entrepreneur is 800 rub. To re-register an individual entrepreneur – 160 rub..

A receipt with the necessary details for payment is generated on the IFTS website nalog.ru. The form already contains all the necessary data about the type of payment. All you have to do is fill in your last name, first name and place of residence. After which you can print out the receipt and go to the bank.

Its payment can be made through any bank, indicating the purpose of the payment () and your full name. You can also pay the state fee through online payment via Internet banking. Sberbank does not charge a fee for payment.

Costs depending on the type of opening

If a future entrepreneur does not have time to visit the Federal Tax Service, then he can use the services of a trusted representative. You can also do it online via the Internet. As a last resort, there is always the option of sending papers by mail. However, the registration process will be cheapest if the entrepreneur decides to act independently.

On one's own

In this case, after paying the state duty, he submits to the tax service a receipt for its payment, a completed application for opening an individual entrepreneur, a photocopy of the passport and TIN. There is no need to have the application and other documents certified by a notary. An original passport is required.

By doing this, you will need to seek the services of a notary. He will certify your signature on the application for opening an individual entrepreneur, and will also sew and examine photocopies of the remaining required documents indicating the number of pages (photocopy of passport, photocopy of application, TIN).

Through a proxy

Documents will need to be bound if they consist of more than 1 page. These include a passport (a photocopy of each sheet of information will be required) and an application for opening an individual entrepreneur (4 sheets).

It is also necessary to issue, again, a notarized power of attorney to the person who will act on your behalf when submitting papers to the Federal Tax Service. A power of attorney can be issued both for the transfer of documents and for their receipt.

Many notary offices can act as intermediaries between the Federal Tax Service and the applicant. They offer those who wish to register an individual entrepreneur as a separate service. She assumes that the entrepreneur will provide the notaries with the entire set of documents, which they will send to the tax authorities electronically, using their own electronic digital signature.

Through intermediaries or consultants

There are also separate legal offices that will take on all the headaches of opening an individual entrepreneur. They offer a wide range of services in registration and further activities of an entrepreneur. She will take on the labor of communicating with notaries, paying state fees, going to the Federal Tax Service, and obtaining a certificate of registration of individual entrepreneurs.

Online via the Internet

The most convenient way, online registration, involves registration on the website of the Federal Tax Service. To do this you will need provide information about yourself and send the necessary documents electronically to the Federal Tax Service. The applicant must have an electronic signature verification key certificate and an electronic signature key with which he will sign scanned forwarded documents. The scanned application will require certification with an electronic signature through a notary.

By mail

Before sending your documents by mail, you should call your Federal Tax Service and clarify the address to which the shipment can be sent. You will again need the services of a notary, because the envelope contains notarized and bound copies of documents with a confirmed signature on the application. You should send a valuable letter with notification and a list of attachments in case it is damaged or lost.

Thus, in the envelope you should put:

• paid receipt for state duty;
• an application examined for signature;
• notarized copies of passport and TIN.

Thus, from the tables above it becomes clear that the most economical way to open an individual entrepreneur is a personal trip to the Federal Tax Service.

What else do you need to pay?

Let's consider additional expenses, which do not directly fit into the registration process.

The tax office will ask you photocopies of your documents: passports and TIN (individual tax number). Typically, each Federal Tax Service provides office services that you can use (photocopies, booklets, etc.). The cost of a photocopy from 1 sheet varies within 40 rubles.

A beginner individual entrepreneur must purchase seal. It will indicate information about the entrepreneur, which he must provide to the stamp manufacturer. These can be manual or automatic options. Its pricing is also influenced by the material (wood, metal), the presence of a coat of arms, protection against counterfeiting, etc. On average, its price can reach 1000 rubles.

It will not be superfluous if the entrepreneur acquires cash register. The cheapest option will cost 13,000 rubles.

Another additional expense is opening a bank account. The cost of the service will depend on the bank itself. The entrepreneur also needs to provide the bank with the following documents certified by a notary (on average, the cost of opening an account is about 2,000 rubles):

The education level of the Russian population is increasing every year. Every year, universities graduate thousands of young financiers. And many of these aspiring businessmen want to open their own business. Therefore, we have created step-by-step instructions for beginners on how to open an individual entrepreneur in 2019.

Advantages of IP

More and more people are becoming entrepreneurs. The dynamics of growth in the number of individual entrepreneurs in Russia exceeds similar data for legal entities. And there are objective reasons for this. Firstly, the entrepreneur does not need to account for accounting. Secondly, the registration procedure is much simpler and requires fewer documents. Thirdly, a more loyal system of fines and taxation.

In addition, a legal address is not required for entrepreneurship. Individual entrepreneurs can immediately consider all profits to be their property, and many bureaucratic formalities, such as maintaining protocols and forming authorized capital, are absent.

Taxation

There are 3 main taxation systems available for individual entrepreneurs:

1. The general taxation system (OSNO) obliges to pay VAT in the amount of 18% and 13% personal income tax. Individual entrepreneurs are also required to pay property taxes.
2. Simplified taxation system (STS). With such a system, VAT and personal income tax are not charged to individual entrepreneurs. But he pays 15% of the base, equal to the difference between expenses and income. Or 6%, if the total amount of income is taken as the base (without deducting expenses).
3. Patent taxation system (PTS). Applicable under a number of restrictions: the number of employees is up to 15 people and the annual income is less than 60 million rubles. If you buy a patent for a period of up to 1 year, then during this time you will not pay tax on your main activity. A patent requires payment of 6% of the potential income established by law for a specific type of activity.

The Unified Agricultural Tax (USAT) is almost never used, because it is only suitable for the production of agricultural goods. All simplified types of taxation have restrictions depending on the type, volume and region of activity. In addition to taxes, individual entrepreneurs must annually pay a number of social contributions.

Who can become an individual entrepreneur

The requirements for individuals wishing to become entrepreneurs are not very strict. They were established in 2001 by Federal Law 129-FZ “On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs”. Any adult capable citizen can register an individual entrepreneur if he does not currently have a valid registration in this capacity. But there is also a list of areas for work in which opening an individual entrepreneur is impossible:

• private security activities;
• production and trade of alcoholic beverages and medicines;
• electric power industry;
• development and production of military equipment and weapons;
• investment funds and similar financial institutions;
• aerospace technology;
• air transportation;
• activities related to pyrotechnics and explosive substances, and a number of other types.

There are also exceptions that allow minors to conduct business activities:

1. If you have an employment contract and permission from an adult legal representative, an individual entrepreneur can be registered from the age of 16.
2. If a minor citizen is married, then from the age of 16 you can also become an entrepreneur.
3. You can start running a legal business even at the age of 14. But for this you need to obtain notarized permission from both parents.

A person recognized as partially or completely incapacitated will not be able to open an individual entrepreneur under any conditions. It is also not available for 5 years after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings of the registered individual. Another prohibition concerns certain types of activities (usually related to working with minors) - an individual entrepreneur will not be registered if there is a criminal record or criminal prosecution.

Required documents

Opening an individual entrepreneur is a process that requires the applicant to provide a mandatory package of all necessary documents. For most people, this part is the least pleasant, because even the slightest mistakes when filling out papers or the absence of one document can cause a delay. And sometimes they even refuse to open an individual entrepreneur, after which you will need to go through the entire procedure from the very beginning.

If you are planning to conduct business, we strongly recommend that you clarify which authority you need to submit the necessary documents to. So, here is their list:

1. First, you must submit a completed Application Form P21001. It is evidence that the citizen has expressed a desire to become an entrepreneur. Therefore, making even the slightest mistake when filling out an application is unacceptable.
2. A copy of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. If the document is submitted not by the owner of the passport, but by a third party, then it must be notarized.
3. A copy of the birth certificate (if the passport does not contain data on the date and place of birth).
4. A copy of a document confirming your residential address (if your passport does not contain this data).
5. Receipt confirming payment of the state duty. It is worth noting that when submitting documents electronically, you do not need to pay this fee, starting from January 1, 2019.

These documents are sufficient if the applicant has citizenship of the Russian Federation.

Important! If you don’t want to go into details, we recommend using the popular service for all regions of the Russian Federation “My Business”. There you can register an individual entrepreneur online in 15 minutes. The service will automatically prepare all documents and even open an account. Very convenient if you don’t want to go to the tax office.

If a foreigner wants to engage in entrepreneurial activity on the territory of the Russian Federation, then he will be required to provide some additional papers:

1. Application on Form P21001.
2. A copy of the foreigner's identity card.
3. A copy of a document that confirms the fact that a foreign citizen is in the Russian Federation legally.
4. A copy of the birth certificate. If this cannot be provided, a copy of any other official document indicating where and when the person was born will be required.
5. You must also provide a copy of a document confirming that the foreigner has a legal place of residence in Russia.
6. You may need a receipt for payment of the fee, the amount of which is 800 rubles.

It is worth considering that minor applicants cannot submit documents independently. With the exception of persons who are legally married and have provided evidence of legal capacity. All other cases require that each copy of the document be notarized with the consent of the minor's parents.

Rules for filling out an application

The previous topic discussed the importance of filling out the application correctly. In order for your application to be accepted, you must provide the following information:

1. Full name, date of birth and gender of the applicant.
2. If available, then TIN (taxpayer identification number).
3. Place of official registration, code of the subject of the Russian Federation and postal code.
4. Citizenship.
5. Place of Birth.
6. Data about the citizen's passport: number, series, when and by whom it was issued.
7. Telephone numbers where the applicant can be contacted if necessary.
8. OKVED codes.

Depending on the subject of the Russian Federation in which the individual entrepreneur is opened, the application pages may need to be sewn together. You need to check with the tax service whether there is such a need. Now let's take a closer look at which aspects should be given special attention during the filling process.

There is a uniform standard for filling out papers by hand. This must be done in capital block letters. The only correct paste color is black. If even one of these conditions is not met, the government agency will not accept the application.

There is a more convenient method of submitting an application. You need to use an online service that will help you collect the necessary package of documents and register as an individual entrepreneur. The benefit is that the possibility of error is excluded, because the creators of the service guarantee high quality. But there is one drawback to filling out the application online: you will have to pay for the services provided, while working on the application yourself is free.

You can also register online through the tax website https://service.nalog.ru/gosreg/#ip. However, this will require an account with State Services or a taxpayer’s personal account, as well as a certificate and software for working with electronic signatures.

The program for preparing documents for state registration is located at the following link https://www.nalog.ru/rn77/program/5961277/.

Registration and opening costs

The first thing anyone who wants to become an individual entrepreneur should think about is the associated costs. Their assessment needs to be approached responsibly, to ensure that already halfway through it does not suddenly turn out that it is not possible to make the obligatory payment.

To become an individual entrepreneur, a person must be prepared to spend money on the following services:

1. Government duty. Its amount is 800 rubles if the applicant submits a package of documents directly to the relevant authorities. But this expense item does not apply to those who provide documents electronically. In this case, no state duty is charged. The relevant law comes into force on January 1, 2019.
2. A mandatory attribute of an entrepreneur, indispensable in running a business, is printing. To make it, you need to pay an amount ranging from 400 to 800 rubles. The law does not oblige an individual entrepreneur to have a seal, but without it many transactions are simply impossible, so it is better to do it anyway.
3. Notarial services. You will have to pay for them if certification of documents is required. For example, if they are submitted by a representative, the signature must be certified. Payment can vary greatly from 1000 to 10 thousand rubles. It depends on how expensive and in demand the specialist is and what services are required.
4. You will also need to pay for the services of other organizations participating in the opening of an individual entrepreneur. They will cost an average of 2 – 3 thousand rubles.
5. The bank in which a current account for business activities will be opened will charge a certain fee for its services. Usually it is 200 - 500 rubles, but a number of banks also have free offers for individual entrepreneurs. Opening a current account is not a mandatory requirement for registration, but you will certainly need it in business, so it is better to open it right away.

A clear advantage is that the future entrepreneur is free to choose whether to seek additional help from specialists or go through the procedures on his own, where possible.

Important! If you want to simplify the procedure and reduce costs, we recommend using the popular service for all regions of the Russian Federation “My Business”. There you can register an individual entrepreneur online in 15 minutes. What does this service provide:

Who can be refused and why?

If the applicant spent his time and money collecting and certifying all documents, this does not mean that he can de facto consider himself an entrepreneur. There are frequent cases of refusal to open an individual entrepreneur. This state of affairs is always very disappointing. But if you look at the possible reasons for failure, you can reduce the likelihood of failure to a minimum:

1. The application is missing important information. Or vice versa, everything is indicated, but with errors.
2. Do not forget about the list of activities prohibited for individual entrepreneurs. If you ignore this issue, your efforts will be wasted.
3. Incorrect document submission address. The package of documents is accepted only at the place of registration.
4. The applicant already has an unclosed individual entrepreneur.
5. If 12 months have not passed since the forced closure of the previous individual entrepreneur.
6. A court order prohibiting the applicant from being an entrepreneur for a specified period that has not yet passed.

Remember that the procedure for approving the opening of an individual entrepreneur is clearly regulated. And refusal for biased reasons cannot be considered legal.

What has changed compared to 2018

One of the key changes for the coming year is the introduction of online cash registers. From January 1, 2019, those entrepreneurs who use online cash registers are exempt from declaring under the simplified tax system. The completion of the transition to online cash registers should occur on July 1, 2019. Also in the new year, a new “product code” requisite will appear for online cash register receipts.

From January 1, it is planned to increase VAT from the current 18% to 20%. And the mandatory state duty will be canceled for individual entrepreneurs registering through the online service. Also, from October 1, 2018, the fee for re-submitting documents for registration after refusal was canceled. But there is a limitation here - you can submit documents again only within 3 months, and only once; you will have to pay for further attempts. They decided to extend the supervisory holidays for an additional 2 years - until 2020. And the deflator coefficient for the UTII tax will increase again, this time from 1.868 to 1.915.
