I myself opened an individual entrepreneur 3 times and know all the intricacies of this procedure.

Most entrepreneurs, when starting their own business, do not have large funds and try to open it with. Therefore, if you do not yet have a stable income, and opening an individual business is more of a “tick-box” procedure for you, then I strongly do not recommend rushing into it.

Here we will discuss in detail how to register an individual entrepreneur and conduct business correctly after receiving documents granting you the status of an individual entrepreneur.

Before I go directly to the essence of the question “How to open an individual entrepreneur,” I want to warn you:

1. Who can become an individual entrepreneur

According to the law, a citizen can become an individual entrepreneur Russian Federation who has reached the age of 18 years.

2.1.1. And now in more detail about each stage

If you don’t yet have a TIN, be sure to get one from the tax office at your place of residence.

In order to start filling out the P21001 form, you need to decide on the types of activities that you plan to engage in.

The All-Russian Classifier of Economic Activities will help you with this. (OKVED).

The application on form P21001 for individual entrepreneur registration provides tips on how to correctly fill out the digital code by type of activity.

As an example, I’ll give you my extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (USRIP) state register individual entrepreneurs).

You will receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs after registering an individual entrepreneur along with a registration certificate.

Please note that in the extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, just like in your application, the group, subgroup and type of activity are indicated with a digital code and the name of the activity itself.

Congratulations! Now you are ready to register, but read the article to the end and you can avoid the mistakes that people make when registering an individual entrepreneur for the first time.

3. Submission of documents and pitfalls when opening an individual entrepreneur. Overview of tax systems

Before registering an individual entrepreneur, I advise you to get advice from a professional accountant on choosing the tax system you will work with.

At the moment there are 3 taxation systems:

Classical or general taxation system (OSNO)
Simplified taxation system (“Simplified”)
Unified tax on imputed income (UTII)

3.1. Classical or general taxation system (OSNO)

Here you will pay several types of taxes, including personal income tax (personal income tax) and VAT (value added tax)

3.2. Simplified taxation system (“Simplified”)

There are two types of simplified tax system today, depending on which tax base you choose:

Type of tax base "Income". In this case, you will pay 6% on all income (revenue)
Type of tax base "Income minus expenses (profit 15%)". Here you will pay 15% tax on the difference between income and expenses

3.3. Unified tax on imputed income (UTII)

If your activity falls under the payment of UTII, then you will pay a fixed tax for a certain period, regardless of revenue and profit.

Important!

By default, a person registered as an individual entrepreneur falls on general taxation system (OSNO) .

If you are going to work under a simplified taxation system, then along with submitting documents for registration of an individual entrepreneur, you will need to submit an application to switch to a “simplified” system.

Application form for transition to a simplified taxation system (Form No. 26.2-1).

If the activity you plan to engage in falls under UTII, then from the moment you engage in it, you will need to submit an application to switch to UTII using the UTII-2 form.

4. What to do after registering an individual entrepreneur

After you receive all the documents and register as an individual entrepreneur, you can make a seal for an individual entrepreneur. To do this, you will need a certificate of OGRN individual entrepreneur and your TIN. Today there are a lot of companies engaged in the production of seals and stamps, so making a seal will not be difficult for you.

Attention!

According to the law, an individual entrepreneur can work without a seal. One of your handwritten signatures on any contracts and papers and the inscription “Without stamp” or B/P is enough.

Example of my print:

Pension Fund

Now, if you work independently (WITHOUT HIRE EMPLOYEES), notify the Pension Fund NO NEED! You register with the Pension Fund without any application, that is, automatically.

If you plan to work with non-cash payments, that is, transfer and receive funds to your individual entrepreneur current account, you need to open it. Now it is not difficult to do this in any bank. When choosing a bank, I advise you to focus primarily on the interest rate on account servicing.

According to the law, an individual entrepreneur has the right to work without a current account.

So you will need to open a PC if you plan to receive non-cash payments, especially if you provide services/sell legal products to individuals and other individual entrepreneurs.

Attention, this is very important!

Now (since May 2014 there is no need to submit a notification about opening an individual entrepreneur current account to the tax office and the Pension Fund!

If you plan to work with a cash register, then you will need to purchase it and register it with the tax office. Before doing this, I also advise you to consult with a good lawyer and accountant to make this procedure the most effective and least expensive.

After all the above actions, you can fully conduct business, the main thing is not to forget to report and pay taxes on time. A good accountant will help you with this, and you need to take care of cooperation with him in advance.

You can conduct accounting for your individual entrepreneur via the Internet using the appropriate capabilities of the “” service.

Dear reader, now you have all the necessary information on how to register an individual entrepreneur yourself and, as you can see, it is not so difficult.

Let's now look at the nuances of IP.

5. Pros and cons of the organizational and legal form of “individual entrepreneurship”. Rights and obligations of individual entrepreneurs

From the moment you receive the OGRNIP certificate (main state registration number of an individual entrepreneur), you can engage in all types of business activities that are not prohibited by law. But there are also exceptions.

For example, an individual entrepreneur cannot engage in wholesale and retail sales alcohol, so if you decide to open a grocery store and sell alcohol there, you will have to register as a legal entity.

This limitation is most often encountered in practice. Full list You can download the types of activities that individual entrepreneurs are prohibited from engaging in below:

5.1. Pros and cons of the legal form of individual entrepreneurs

Here I will touch on the main pros and cons of individual entrepreneurs, I hope that this will broaden your horizons and help you better understand yourself as an individual entrepreneur.

5.1.1. Pros:

1. Easy registration

It’s quite easy to open an individual entrepreneur without even resorting to the help of third-party consulting firms.

I can say with confidence that if I went to open an individual entrepreneur now, the whole procedure, taking into account the preparation of documents and standing in line to submit them to the tax office, would take me about 2-3 hours.

2. Relatively mild penalties

Individual entrepreneurs are practically not checked by regulatory authorities; less requirements to comply with various standards and requirements when conducting commercial activities. The simplest and fewest reports. Accordingly, fines are on average 10 times less than for legal entities. I won't go into detail here, just so you know:

From the point of view of doing business, individual entrepreneur is the most “gentle” form of doing business in all respects.

3. Greater flexibility in work

Also, one of the advantages of such an organizational and legal form as an individual entrepreneur is that all proceeds belong to the individual entrepreneur, that is, in this case, to you. Accordingly, you can dispose of this money immediately after receiving it at your own discretion, unlike an LLC.

Also, an individual entrepreneur has the right to work without a seal; in this case, he puts his signature on contracts and other documents and writes “B.P.”, which means “without a seal.”

An individual entrepreneur has the right not to have a bank account when working with cash. Then he may need a cash register or strict reporting forms (SSR), but this is if the individual entrepreneur works on a simplified or common system taxation.

If he works on an “imputed” basis, that is, he pays single tax on imputed income (UTII) or carries out his activities under a “patent”, in this case he simply pockets the money he earns, paying a fixed tax and insurance contributions.

5.1.2. Minuses

1. Degree of responsibility for obligations

Very important!

According to the law, an individual entrepreneur is liable for his obligations with all his property.

This means that if you have incurred debts as a result of the activity entrepreneurial activity, then in this case, in court, your creditors have the right to take almost everything from you: a car, bank deposits, real estate (if it is not the only home), other material assets.

An individual entrepreneur is required to pay insurance contributions to the pension fund, even if he does not operate or even works at a loss.

For example, in 2013, the amount of mandatory insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs was 35665 rubles .

That is, even if you don’t earn a penny, every month the existence of your individual entrepreneur will cost you almost 3,000 rubles.

Do not forget that if you conduct business, add to this amount the taxes that you will have to pay.

2. Lack of opportunity to name your company

According to the law, an individual entrepreneur, as a business entity, can write only his full name as a name in all official documents.

For example: IP Ivanov N.V.

Unlike IP, legal entities, for example LLC, have a name.

For example: Limited Liability Company "Pupkin and Partners"

3. Image moment

It so happens that some companies do not work with individual entrepreneurs, although, in essence, the conduct of commercial activities of an individual entrepreneur and, for example, an LLC are no different.

If you do not yet have experience in conducting commercial activities, then I advise you to start with an individual entrepreneur, and then, if the need arises, you can open a legal entity.

5.2. Rights and obligations of individual entrepreneurs

Try to cover as wide a scope of activity as possible and indicate maximum amount codes Why immediately cover the niche as much as possible?
The fact is that if you have already registered, then you can enter and remove OKVED codes completely free of charge, but this is a very troublesome task that will “eat up” your time. In addition, you will need to obtain a second extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. And it's already paid.
Further, types of economic activity contain such concepts as: main and additional . There can be one main type, and when filling out an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur, it is placed first. Additional types There can be any number of activities. We do not recommend choose an OKVED code of 5 digits, because if you select a 4-digit code, it automatically includes all subcodes. In fact, you can carry out or not carry out any activity you like, the main thing is that the content of the agreement corresponds to the activity codes. If the code is not in the constituent documents, it must be added within three working days. If you are afraid of additional reporting or liability for extra codes, then there is none.

800 rubles - state fee for registration
1,000-1,500 rubles - for a notary, if you send documents by mail or through a representative. When visiting the tax office in person, you do not need to have your application certified by a notary.

Step 1: Choose a tax system

Decide in advance how you will pay taxes in order to submit an application for choosing a tax system along with registration documents.

There are currently 5 taxation systems in Russia. We recommend paying attention to the simplified tax system, UTII and patent. They are created specifically for small businesses to reduce the tax burden and simplify accounting.

Step 2: Determine your type of activity according to OKVED

In documents for registration as an individual entrepreneur, you must indicate the activity code according to the OKVED directory. Identify a few codes that you are or will be working on.

Step 3: Prepare documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs with the tax office

To register an individual entrepreneur you will need the following documents:

Passport with a photocopy or its notarized copy.
Application for state registration. If you send documents by mail or submit them through a representative, have the application certified by a notary.
Receipt for payment of state duty 800 rubles.
A copy of the TIN certificate. If it is not there, then the TIN will be assigned to you during the registration process.
Power of attorney for a representative if someone will submit documents for you.
Notification to apply the simplified tax system if you have chosen this taxation system. Prepare two copies. The tax office will take one, and the second will be marked as accepting the application.

The second way to submit documents for registration as an entrepreneur is through the MFC (multifunctional center for public services). There are such centers in every region. Call the MFC in advance and check whether they accept documents for registration. Not everyone does this. MFCs in Moscow accept documents only if you have a residence permit in the Basmanny District.

If you can’t come in person, send the documents to the tax office by mail or submit them through a representative by proxy. But before that, get your application and a copy of your passport certified by a notary.

The tax office will give you a receipt confirming receipt of the documents. Save it, you will need it when you pick up your individual entrepreneur registration documents.

Step 5: Receiving documents on registration as an individual entrepreneur

You will be registered as an individual entrepreneur in 3 working days and sent to email documents: entry sheet of the state register of individual entrepreneurs and a certificate of registration with the tax office.

The tax office will report the registration of the individual entrepreneur to the pension fund, which will assign you a registration number. You will need it to pay insurance premiums. Find out the number in the Pension Fund office by registration or in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (USRIP) extract on the tax website.

If you submitted an application to switch to the simplified tax system, then confirmation will be its second copy with the tax office’s mark of acceptance. Additionally, you can request an information letter from the tax office on the application of the simplified tax system. Sometimes banks and counterparties ask him.

It is not necessary to receive a notification with assigned statistics codes, but the codes may be needed for reporting to Rosstat. Some banks also require notification when opening a current account. In some regions there is an online service from Rosstat that will help you find out the necessary codes. To receive an official letter with statistics codes, contact the Rosstat office (the address can be found on the website).

Power of attorney for a representative of an individual entrepreneur

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a power of attorney is necessary to certify the rights of one person to represent the rights of another person to third parties.
The text of the power of attorney must include information about:

The represented person, that is, indicate the full name of the entrepreneur, his address, birth details, TIN, bank details and passport details.
The representative in whose name the power of attorney is drawn up. At this point, the parties indicate the full name of the entrepreneur’s representative, his address, birth details, Taxpayer Identification Number, bank details and passport details.
The powers that were granted to the representative of the individual entrepreneur as part of the power of attorney. For example, he can be delegated the authority to submit an application and additional documents to the registration authorities.
Date of issue of the document.
Expiration date of the paper. In accordance with Art. 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, if the power of attorney does not indicate its validity period, it has legal force for 1 year.

How to prepare a power of attorney for a representative of an individual entrepreneur?

A power of attorney issued to a representative who is to participate in registration actions carried out by the tax authority in relation to the principal must go through the notarization procedure.

A private or public notary has the right to certify a document. In case of absence from locality notaries, their powers are assumed by authorized officials.

In the process of confirming the power of attorney, the notary verifies the identities of the principal and his representative. It also confirms the legal capacity of the citizen who issued the document and verifies the legality of its contents.

When performing actions to certify a document drawn up by the principal in relation to his representative, the notary explains to the representative what powers he receives in accordance with the power of attorney.

Citizens should also carry an original document certifying their rights as:

Foreigner.
Stateless person.
A person who permanently resides in the Russian Federation.
A person who temporarily lives in the territory of the Russian Federation.

The details of these documents and their content are reflected in the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur. The application also reflects the validity period of the relevant permits.

Thus, in order to undergo the procedure of state registration of the status of an individual entrepreneur, a citizen will need to properly fill out an application and collect a full package of title documents. Only after checking the submitted papers does the tax authority decide to carry out registration actions against the applicant.
