How to get a private entrepreneur certificate

It may seem that obtaining an IP certificate is difficult, because documents and statements are needed, and at first glance it is completely unclear which ones. But, in reality, many people prefer to register IPs on their own, without using the services of intermediary firms, and it turns out that preparing and handing over a package of documents is not at all such a complicated matter as it seemed at first.

You will need

• -Application for registration of IP;

• - a statement on the transition to the simplified tax system (if necessary);

• - copy of the passport;

• - receipt of payment of state duty.

Instruction manual

1

First of all, decide which tax system you will follow. You can choose the usual taxation system (with VAT) or simplified (USN), there is such an option as UTII (single tax on temporary income). The vast majority of entrepreneurs choose the simplified tax system, since this is the easiest way to keep records, in many cases you can not even hire an accountant. If you have chosen a STS, you will be exempt from all other taxes, you only need to pay a STS on a quarterly basis (if you do not have employees).

2

There are two schemes for using the simplified tax system, and you need to decide which one you will use. The first scheme: STS-income, in which you pay 6% tax on all of your income. The second scheme: income minus expenses. The tax in this case is 15%, all expenses are deducted from it, the balance is paid. If the amount of your expenses is more than 60% of income, then the second scheme of the simplified tax system will be more profitable, if less than 60% - then the first.

3

To register an IP, an Application for registration of an individual as an IP is required (form P21001). If you want to switch to the simplified tax system, you must also submit an application for the transition to the simplified tax system (form 26.2-1). To fill out an application for registration, you will need an All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity - a list of OKVED codes. Application forms and OKVED codes can be downloaded at http://www.nalog.ru/gosreg/reg_fl/ .

Fill out the registration application. To find out the code of your tax office, you can use the search link http://service.nalog.ru:8080/addrno.do . In the application you need to fill in the tax inspection code, information about yourself, contact details. On Sheet A, write down a list of all the activities that you intend to do. The first type of activity on the list is considered the main one for the individual entrepreneur. There are 10 codes per sheet, if there are more codes, use several sheets. For those who plan to submit tax reports on the simplified tax system, you need to fill out an application for the transition to this system.

5

The printed sheets must be attributed to a notary public who will sew them and assure them. Also at this stage, make a photocopy of your passport, also certify it.

6

The state duty for registration of an individual entrepreneur is 400 rubles. You can download the receipt on the Internet, but if the tax information there is not for your region, it will be easier to go to the nearest Sberbank branch. There you will be given a form for paying state fees for opening IP.

7

Now collect all the documents and go to the tax office. You should have it in your hands: a statement on registration of an IP certified by a notary public, a statement on the transition to the simplified tax system (if necessary), a certified copy of your passport, and a paid state duty receipt. If everything is in order with the documents, then they will be accepted quickly in the tax office, after which they will give a receipt with which it is necessary to come to the inspection in 5 working days.

8

Come to the tax inspectorate on the date indicated on the receipt, where they will give you a certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur or a notice that you were denied registration (if incorrect information was submitted or there were errors in the documents). If registration is denied, correct the errors and submit the documents again.

note

Some individuals and organizations are not entitled to use STS. There are types of activities in which you cannot pay taxes on the simplified tax system.
