How to deregister as an individual entrepreneur yourself

The question of how to close the IP sometimes seems rather confusing and full of red tape, especially if the entrepreneur hired workers in the course of his activities. Many lack a clearly constructed step-by-step instruction, which could be guided in this process. In fact, knowing ahead of what steps to go through, eliminates unnecessary fuss and useless walking around the court.

You will need

• - reporting to the authorities of the FSS and PFR for the quarter during which you plan to deregister as an IP;

• - receipt of payment of state duty in the amount of 160 rubles;

• - a completed application in the form No. P26001;

• - passport.

Instruction manual

1

Before closing an IP in the tax, it is necessary that you as an employer are deregistered in the Pension Fund (PFR) and the Social Insurance Fund (FSS). If you did not have workers, then feel free to proceed to the third step.

So, at the first stage, you submit the 4-FSS form for the current quarter and write a statement on deregistration as an employer. This can be done in one visit to the Social Insurance Fund, to which you usually report contributions. The application form is issued in the fund itself, you do not need to take anything with you, apart from reporting and a passport.

Visit to the Pension Fund. At this stage, you need to pass RSV-1 for the current quarter (it goes without saying that RSV-1 for previous periods is also handed over). The specialist who accepted the reporting issues a bypass sheet, in which he puts the mark first. Two more marks should be put in the debt collection department and on-site inspection department. With the completed bypass sheet, we return to the specialist who will prepare a certificate for the tax office.

Help is valid for 10 days.

Visit to the tax office, having previously armed with a certificate from the Pension Fund, a statement in form No. 26001, a receipt on payment of the duty and a passport. In no case do not sign the application in advance.

You will have to do this in the presence of a specialist who will accept your documents. That is why no notarization for such a statement is not necessary.

Having accepted the documents, the specialist from the tax office will issue you a receipt in their receipt.

You will have another visit to the tax inspectorate five working days later - to receive a certificate of state registration of the fact of your termination of entrepreneurial activity and an extract from the Unified State Register of Enterprises. You need to have a passport and a receipt from your previous tax visit.

5

The last stage is the deregistration as an individual entrepreneur in the FIU. To do this, with a certificate of termination of activity and a passport, you must again come to the Pension Fund within twelve days from the date of registration of the termination of your business, where they will calculate the amount of insurance premiums payable for the period from the beginning of the year to the date of termination of activity on the certificate.

note

- Remember that obtaining a tax certificate does not relieve you of the obligation to submit tax reports, including zero, for the period from the beginning of the year.

- Do not delay the notification of the FIU about the closure, also do not delay the payment of insurance premiums, this will inevitably lead to the collection of fines.

Useful advice

In fact, obtaining a certificate from the FIU and submitting it to the tax office is not necessary. However, at the stage of obtaining this certificate, the debt is reconciled, and the issue of the need for the FIU to conduct an on-site inspection is also being decided, so this is the best way to “clean up the tails” before finally closing.
