How to open an IP: a complete step-by-step instruction. We prepare the necessary documents. Actions after registration

So you've decided to become an entrepreneur! good prospect for those who are tired of being dependent on bosses and want to become the master of their lives! One of the solutions to this issue is the design of IP. What you need to open an IP - this is our detailed material.

IP - who is this?

Becoming an individual entrepreneur, or an individual entrepreneur, is most expedient for those who want to conduct business as individual i.e. no education legal entity.
What is the difference? The fact that legal entities must have an authorized capital and a legal address. The individual entrepreneur is exempt from these conditions, however, there is one important point- according to the law, an individual entrepreneur must be liable for obligations with all his personal property.

How does an individual entrepreneur differ from a private person working without registration, what is called “for himself”?

Firstly, when registering an individual entrepreneur, the length of service is credited. Secondly, illegal conduct labor activity is punishable. Well, and thirdly, if the activity is related to the wholesale purchase of goods, then many firms do not provide for deliveries for private traders.

Who can be registered as an individual entrepreneur?

• All adult capable citizens of the Russian Federation;
• Minor citizens recognized as capable by the relevant authorities;
• Minor citizens who have permission to engage in entrepreneurial activities from their parents or guardians;
• Foreigners, with a temporary or permanent Russian residence permit.

Are there any exceptions? Yes, I have! The legislation of the Russian Federation prohibits the opening of individual entrepreneurs to citizens who are in the state and municipal service. For all other working citizens, there are no obstacles in terms of registering an IP.

What you need to open an IP - the first steps!

Registering an individual entrepreneur is not really difficult for you. But first, you will need to take a number of actions that will allow you to carry out the registration procedure without delay in the future.
The fact is that even before submitting documents to the relevant authorities, it is necessary to decide on some fundamental points.

1. Select activities.
There is the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED), in which each type of activity is assigned a specific code. Therefore, the future entrepreneur needs to choose the scope of his activity and, based on this, determine its OKVED code.
An important point: you can specify several codes, but the code of your main activity must be specified first. It is not forbidden to select several codes at once with an eye to the future expansion of activities.
If, in fact, any activities are not carried out, no sanctions from the tax and other structures will follow. And when a favorable moment comes to expand the business, it will not be necessary to go to the tax office again in order to make changes or additions to activity codes.

2. Determine how we will pay taxes.
This issue also needs to be resolved in advance so as not to delay the registration process in the future. The most optimal solution for individual entrepreneurs is the simplified taxation system (STS).
Here it will be necessary to make a choice of the object of taxation. There are two of them: "income" and "income minus expenses." In the first case, the tax rate will be 6% on all your income from entrepreneurial activity. If the second option is chosen, then the rate, depending on the region, will vary from 5 to 15%.
In addition to the simplified tax system, the Patent Taxation System (abbreviated as PSN), the Single Imputed Income Tax (UTII) and some other special tax regimes, depending on the type of activity, may be convenient for individual entrepreneurs.

3. Get a TIN.
It is advisable to obtain a TIN in advance - taxpayer identification number. If it already exists, it’s good, if not, then we submit an application to the tax office at the place of registration to receive it.
Obtaining a TIN can be timed to coincide with the submission of documents for registration of IP, but this may somewhat delay the registration period.

4. Pay the state duty.
For registration of IP, you must pay a state fee. You can do this at any branch of Sberbank. For several years now, the amount of the fee has remained within the limits of 800 rubles. However, you should know that a bill has already been submitted to the State Duma to increase the fee for registering entrepreneurial activities. So it is not surprising if soon this amount will change upwards.

Collection of documents for registration of IP!

So everything preparations carried out, we begin to collect together all the documents that are needed to open an individual entrepreneur: a passport, a photocopy of a passport, a receipt for payment of state duty, a TIN and a copy of it, a completed application for registration of an individual entrepreneur - it can be downloaded on the website of the Federal tax service(form P21001), or take the form at the nearest tax office.

A few words should be said about completing this application. The fact is that, despite the sufficient simplicity of the form, it is easy to make a mistake in filling it out. Especially carefully you need to fill in the passport data - strictly in accordance with the way they are written in the passport itself!

In addition, blots and typos are strictly not allowed, so be very careful when filling out an application. Everything is not so complicated, especially since there are a lot of sites on the Internet with examples of how to fill out the P21001 form correctly.

The application consists of 5 sheets that must be numbered, stitched and sealed with your signature.
If you personally go to register your individual business, then this stage preparation of documents is completed.
If the documents are sent through an intermediary or by mail, notarization of the documents and your signature is required.

Onward to the tax office!

So we came directly to the registration of an individual entrepreneur, that is, to a visit to the tax office. But not the first one that came across, but the one that is located at the place of your official registration. The actual place of residence does not play a role in this.

Example: you are registered in Khabarovsk, but live in Moscow, where you are going to conduct your business. Documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs must be submitted in Khabarovsk! It is in this case that it becomes necessary to resort to the help of e-mail (through special services), intermediaries by proxy or the services of the Russian post.
If there is no permanent residence permit in the passport, it is allowed to issue an IP at the address of temporary registration.
When applying in person to the FTS inspection department at the place of registration, we hand over all prepared documents to the inspector. At the same time, you can apply for the tax system of your choice.
Now is the time to take a breath: your documents will be reviewed within 5 working days from the date of submission.

What you need to open an IP - we get the documents!

And now the waiting period has expired, you go to receive documents. What will be given to you as confirmation of the status of an individual entrepreneur?

1. Document on registration with the tax office
2. Extract from the state register of IP (EGRIP)
3. Certificate of state registration as an individual entrepreneur (OGRNIP)

Also, you can immediately receive documents on registration with the Pension Fund, TFOMS and notification of the assignment of codes in the statistical authorities. If they are not issued by the tax authorities, then you will need to go to all these authorities in order to collect a complete package of all the listed documents.

When the documents are received, you can start doing business as an individual entrepreneur within the types that were indicated.
However, there are cases when, following the results of consideration of documents, citizens are denied opening an IP. In particular, this happens due to incorrectly specified information or an incorrectly completed application. In any case, the refusal must be motivated.
If this happens, then the entire procedure for submitting documents will have to be repeated, while the state duty will need to be paid again, in the same amount.

We open IP - the price of the issue!

The simplest, but also the most expensive way of registering an IP is to delegate the solution of this issue to specialized firms. Employees of such a company will do all the work for you and provide you with a ready-made package of documents. The cost of such services in large cities usually starts from 5,000 rubles.

If you do everything yourself, then the minimum amount of expenses will cost 800 rubles for paying the fee, well, and the cost of photocopies of the necessary documents.
We complicate the options by resorting to the help of intermediaries. Notary services for certification of documents and signatures will cost an average of 400 rubles. It is difficult to translate the services of an intermediary into monetary terms, since if someone close to you solves this problem of yours, then it may not cost you anything, and if you hire someone from the outside, then the price, as they say, will be negotiable.

More options: you decide that you, as an entrepreneur, need a current account and a seal (which is not at all necessary for an individual entrepreneur). In this case, you need to add another 1000 rubles for opening an account and about 500 for making a seal.
If you have carefully read our article, now you know what you need to open an IP. Step by step following our recommendations, it will not be difficult to carry out the entire registration process without anyone's help. Good luck with your own business!

So, a step-by-step instruction on how to correctly and quickly issue an IP.

Step 1. Payment of the state fee in the required amount, obtaining an activity code and choosing a tax payment system

To pay the fee, you must fill out a form with details, and make the payment at Sberbank, any branch, or through a specially designed terminal. The original invoice must be kept. When submitting documents in electronic form, the state fee is absent .

OKVED codes must also be defined, namely: the entrepreneur selects a type or type of occupation from the list, each type has a code consisting of at least four characters. This list of activities is limited by the principles of safety in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. You need to choose from the list for 2017-2018.

OKVED codes when opening an IP

Businessmen get acquainted with this classifier, defining their activities by area, then by group. The number of selected species is not limited, but cannot be less than one.

Some species require a license. Then you will need to contact the licensing authority, which will also indicate the OKVED code for this activity.

Selection and determination of a taxation system that is more suitable for your case.

What form of taxation to choose?

Exist 5 (five) types of taxation, each of which corresponds to the regime.

1). General ( DOS) the view is assigned by default if no mode selection is made. If an entrepreneur (businessman) may consider such a regime unprofitable, undesirable, he must early when applying for an individual entrepreneur, attach an application indicating the selected type of taxation.

The application is written in the form: "On the transition to another taxation system".

The concept of OSN includes taxes:

• 20% on profit or 13% personal income tax;
• 18 percent(VAT) from sales and services rendered;
• Property tax;

If a businessman fails to pay taxes, his enterprise will be in danger of bankruptcy, as debts will accumulate.

2). UTII, i.e - a single tax on imputed income, implies a specific amount of tax to be levied, in the so-called fixed form. UTII is not related to the profit of the enterprise. It is calculated from business parameters, such as the number of employees employed, the area of ​​premises for trade, the number of transport units.

But if the IP includes more than 100 (one hundred) Human, this tax cannot be selected.

Additional opportunity provided to the company with tax UTII: before 50 % reduction of insurance premiums for those registered in IP and 100 % their reduction by the owner of the enterprise.

Similar cases are considered arbitration courts and as soon as such a decision appears, the registration of an enterprise canceled . The same procedure applies to non-payment of taxes and insurance premiums.

For more details and details, read the article.

In fact, bankruptcy occurs through 3 (three months after the day when it was required to pay the obligations in case of non-payment.

The second condition of bankruptcy - the amount of debt exceeded the size of the property of the entrepreneur in monetary terms.

An application must be filed to declare a businessman bankrupt.

Which ones you need to go through, we described in a separate issue.

Who files a bankruptcy petition?

1. The entrepreneur himself.
2. Creditor.
3. by the relevant competent authorities.

We wrote about how to submit and fill out an application for, in a special article.

In the first case, the court may postpone the consideration for month, during which the entrepreneur is given the opportunity to pay off his debt to creditors. When paying off the debt of the IP, a settlement agreement can be drawn up.

10. Lending to an individual enterprise

At present, it is quite realistic to receive assistance for an individual enterprise from a bank in the form of a loan. Loans for business development are offered, loans by type "express" and other varieties.

Again, not for the first time, the entrepreneur is required to collect documents for obtaining a loan, fulfill the following conditions.

• First, the enterprise must be registered.
• The next requirement is age. from 23 years to 58.
• It is necessary to have guarantors and property that the entrepreneur can provide as collateral.
• The enterprise must exist for a year before applying to the bank.

But due to the fact that each bank has its own requirements, especially in the form of interest rates, entrepreneurs are forced to collect documents for several banks and submit them to them almost simultaneously.

The bank considers applications from a couple of days to several weeks. The result is not known in advance. A guarantor who has property for collateral is not so easy to find. And if the bank offers a very small amount corresponding to the collateral, then the entrepreneur may lose interest in the loan altogether, since it will not make sense.

special attention must be paid at the interest rate offered by the bank. If the interest payment ends up being excessive or unsustainable, a risk assessment needs to be done in advance.

It is often easier to arrange at the bank, using the money immediately for the needs of the enterprise or for its increase.

From an individual entrepreneur, a desire to cooperate with institutions that provide loans is required. To delve a little more into the proposed conditions, to reject the most stringent ones, this does not mean completely abandoning the loan and stopping the development of the enterprise. You should try to reach a decision that is satisfactory for both parties.

1. Fill out and notarize a power of attorney.
2. Certify also a copy of your passport, your signature on the application.

Why can they refuse to open an IP

Registration of an individual entrepreneur may be refused if:

1. Documents are not presented all or not there.
2. The documents contain errors or false information.
3. The individual entrepreneur has already been registered or was declared bankrupt less than a year ago.
4. Registration is hindered by a court verdict, there is a ban on entrepreneurial activity.

If you receive a refusal, you can appeal it to the IFTS. Only after that you can go to court, but such a procedure will be quite expensive. It is much cheaper and faster to submit documents again and pay the state duty.

What gives IP status

1. This gives greater freedom both in the provision of services and in cooperation with other companies. A company providing services is more likely to conclude an agreement with an individual entrepreneur than with a simple individual, because relations with the latter can always be described as labor, with additional taxes being charged to the employer.
2. You pay your own taxes and contributions to funds, which means that you manage your income yourself.
3. Before the law, you are responsible with your property. Therefore, IP should always be careful and not get into debt.

Step 1. Choosing a tax system

Before answering the question of how to register an individual entrepreneur, you first need to decide on the tax system that you will apply.

• - the simplest option, which is the easiest to maintain, even without accounting services - this is - 6% is charged. It is somewhat more complicated, but if there are confirmed expenses, these are “revenues reduced by the amount of expenses”. In this case, the rate is from 5 to 15% depending on the region. However this species taxation is limited.
• - a single tax on imputed income is also a special. a regime, the peculiarity of which is that the calculation of taxes is carried out on the basis of certain coefficients and does not depend on the profit received, but it also has limitations. This special regime is expected to be applied until 2018.
