Instruction manual

1

Visit the tax office at the place of registration and take there an application for state registration in form P21001 and a sample. Or you can do this by downloading it on the Internet. Fill out the application on the model and certify it with a notary.

2

Collect the following documents that must be attached to the application: a copy of the passport, a receipt on payment of the state duty (800 rubles). In some cases (for example, if you plan to do business that is related to the education or upbringing of minors), you will also need to provide a certificate of criminal record.

3

All these documents must be submitted to the tax office at the place of registration. It is better to do this personally, rather than by mail, as this eliminates the need for notarization of copies of documents and your signature. You should be issued a receipt on receipt of documents for state registration.

By law, registration must be done within five days. You will be considered registered as an individual entrepreneur from the moment you make an entry in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (USRIP). After registration, you will be given a document about it - a certificate.

After registration or at the same time as filing registration documents, you can submit an application for the application of a simplified taxation system if you want to apply it. Remember that an individual entrepreneur has the right to open a bank account (it will be necessary to open it within 7 days after registration and report to the tax office) or make payments through a cash register that must be registered with the same tax office.
