Online methods of registering individual entrepreneurs

How to submit an application to open an individual entrepreneur through the Federal Tax Service website

We decided to test the service for filing an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur through the Federal Tax Service website. At first glance, everything looks simple and clear, plus the service promises to check the completion of the form.

Indeed, if you enter an incorrect phone format or passport series, the program will prompt you to make corrections. But if a mistake is made when indicating passport data in the name settlement(for example, Maskva instead of Moscow), then the service will not pay your attention to this. The program also does not see obvious geographical errors, so Chukotka could easily end up in Madagascar.

In this case, the error is transferred to the completed form with your data. What can we say about the inaccurate entry of other passport data and abbreviations. So you shouldn’t count on a 100% guarantee of correct automatic filling.

We found two more weaknesses in filing an application for individual entrepreneur registration through the Federal Tax Service website:

  • the need to pay the state fee in advance;
  • short time for a visit to the tax authority.

The program requires entering payment document details before submitting the application. If you try to skip this stage, the service warns that further progress is impossible.

Of course, such a limitation prevents the creation of many empty applications, but at the same time the applicant has to spend time paying the receipt and then return to the filling out procedure. True, it is possible to pay the state duty online through a partner bank; for this you must have a TIN. And don’t forget to print out your payment confirmation via online banking, because... the tax inspector will require it.

After filling out the application and paying the fee, you are given only three working days to visit the tax office. If you miss this deadline, the application will be canceled, and if there are errors in filling out, the application will be refused to open an individual entrepreneur. In both cases, the state duty is not refunded.

Finally, it is worth dispelling the myth that when submitting an application this way, all you have to do is come and pick it up ready documents. This is wrong. A certificate of individual entrepreneur registration and tax registration will not be prepared in advance. The tax inspector must make sure that it was you who submitted the application and that there are no errors or inaccuracies in the information submitted, and only then will he fill out the official forms. So, you will have to wait at the Federal Tax Service for several hours or come for a certificate another day.

Step 1. Pay the state fee in the required amount, receive an activity code and select a tax payment system

To pay the fee, you must fill out a form with the details, and make the payment at Sberbank, any branch, or through a specially designed terminal. The original receipt form must be retained. When submitting documents electronically, state duty absent .

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


OKVED codes when opening an individual entrepreneur

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.

Which form of taxation should I choose?

Exists 5 (five) types of taxation, each of which corresponds to a regime.

1). General ( OSN) the type is assigned by default if no mode selection is made. If an entrepreneur (businessman) may consider such a regime unprofitable or undesirable, he should early When registering as an individual entrepreneur, attach an application indicating the chosen 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 made and services provided;
  • Property tax;

If a businessman fails to pay taxes, his company will be at risk of bankruptcy as debts will accumulate.

2). UTII, that is - a single tax on imputed income, assumes a specific amount of tax levied, in the so-called fixed form. UTII is not related to the profit of the enterprise. It is calculated based on business parameters, such as the number of employees hired, the area of ​​retail premises, and 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 an enterprise during taxation UTII: before 50 % reduction of insurance premiums for those registered in individual entrepreneurs and 100 % their reduction on the owner of the enterprise.

Similar cases are being considered arbitration courts and as soon as such a decision appears, registration of the 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 on which it was required to pay for obligations in case of non-payment.

Second condition of bankruptcy — the amount of debt exceeded the size of the entrepreneur’s property in monetary terms.

To declare a businessman bankrupt, an application must be filed.

We described which ones you need to go through in a separate issue.

Who files an application for bankruptcy of an individual entrepreneur?

  1. An entrepreneur himself.
  2. Lender.
  3. Relevant authorized bodies.

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

In the first case, the court may postpone the hearing for month, during which the entrepreneur is given the opportunity to pay off his debt to creditors. When repaying the individual entrepreneur's debt, a settlement agreement can be drawn up.

10. Lending to an individual enterprise

Currently, it is quite possible to receive assistance for an individual enterprise from a bank in the form of a loan. We offer loans for business development, loans by type "express" and other varieties.

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

  • Firstly, 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 reviews applications from a couple of days to several weeks. The result is not known in advance. It is not so easy to find a guarantor who has property for collateral. And if the bank offers a very small amount corresponding to the collateral, then the entrepreneur may lose interest in the loan altogether, since there will be no point in it.

Special attention you need to pay attention to the interest rate offered by the bank. If the interest payment ends up being prohibitive or unaffordable, a risk assessment must be made in advance.

It is often easier to register with a bank, using the money immediately for the needs of the enterprise or for its expansion.

An individual entrepreneur is required to strive to cooperate with institutions that provide loans. To delve a little more into the proposed conditions and discard the most stringent ones does not mean completely abandoning the loan and stopping the development of the enterprise. You should try to make a decision that is satisfactory for both parties.


11. Conclusion

However this type taxation has limitations.
  • – a single tax on imputed income is also a special tax. a regime, the peculiarity of which is that taxes are calculated 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 apply until 2018.
  • – refers to special modes. Activities are carried out on the basis of an acquired patent, and, as with UTII, the level of income does not affect the taxes paid.
  • – agricultural tax, which is applied by farms.

  • Not the entire list of required documents was provided.
  • The documents were provided to the wrong tax authority.
  • On individual a ban was imposed on entrepreneurial activity and its term has not yet expired.
  • Previously, the entrepreneur was declared bankrupt and less than 1 year has passed since that moment.

An individual entrepreneur has the right to conduct business (his own business) without forming (creating) a legal entity. In fact, it is an individual with the legal right to engage in commercial activities.

An individual entrepreneur is an alternative to an LLC, and both forms can be opened by an individual. It is easier to register and close an individual entrepreneur, the business is taxed less, and the reporting procedure for individual entrepreneurs is simplified. But the entrepreneur is responsible to creditors with all his property, except housing. In the case of an LLC, an individual is liable only for the property and funds that are on the balance sheet of the enterprise.

When choosing an individual entrepreneur form, it can be registered in two ways:

  • with the help of specialized companies that can do everything for you. Collect documents, fill them out, submit and receive. Registrar services will cost up to 5 thousand rubles;
  • on one's own. You will spend time, but you will understand the registration requirements and only pay a fee of 800 rubles.

To register a business, temporary or permanent registration is required. The business is registered at the address indicated in the passport. But no one will forbid you to come up with and register a trademark or use a commercial designation that does not need to be registered. In the second case, it could be the name of a hotel or cafe.

Selecting OKVED, that is, types of activities

All-Russian classifier choice economic activity(OKVED) is a list of activities, each of which has its own four-digit code.

Attention! The amount of insurance payments from the Social Insurance Fund and whether the business belongs to preferential activities depends on the main code. But the second point is important only in the case of using the labor of hired workers.

Before registering a business, you must select the main (required) and additional types of activity. The number of additional ones is not limited, and by indicating them, you are not obliged to deal with them.

Selecting a tax regime

The size of all payments depends on the tax system government agencies. You need to choose the most beneficial mode for you from the following options:

  1. General system (OSN).
  2. Simplified system (STS). The most popular option. The entrepreneur gives 6% of income, plus payments to the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the Pension Fund. Or simplified tax system 15%. Payment of 15% of the difference between expenses and income and the same payments as at 6%.
  3. Unified tax on imputed income (UTII).
  4. Unified agricultural tax.

An incorrectly selected mode will lead to a decrease in profits.

Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can calculate which is more profitable using a calculator, knowing the initial data that depends on your business. If desired, you can combine such modes as UTII and simplified tax system, or PSN and simplified tax system.

4. How to open an individual entrepreneur on your own in 2018 - step-by-step instructions

At first glance, it’s nothing complicated, but when you start immersing yourself in the process, something may seem incomprehensible. This can lead to uncertainty and doubt. But it is precisely so that you clearly and clearly understand the algorithm of actions when registering an individual entrepreneur that we wrote this article. First things first.

Step #1. Fill out the application, select OKVED codes and pay the state fee

Let's consider each item of the above list separately.

Filling out the application form P21001. Please note that this form contains five sheets; information must be entered by hand in block letters or from a computer.

What you will need to fill out the application form:

  • Your passport;
  • your mobile phone number;
  • directory of codes for types of economic activity - OKVED.

Check that the information entered is correct - if there are errors, the tax office may reject your application!

Selection of OKVED codes. Most likely, you already know what exactly you will be doing. At this stage, you will need to find the code assigned to your type of activity and indicate this code on the application form P21001. You can choose one main and several additional OKVED codes.

For example, your company will sell cosmetics in a store. Your type of activity has been assigned a code 47.75 and the title “Retail trade in cosmetics and perfumery products in specialized stores.” You must select this exact code to legally sell cosmetics.

How to choose an OKVED code, what it is and where to download - read in.

In form P21001, be sure to indicate the main code of your type of activity

Important! It is necessary to decide on at least one area of ​​activity of the enterprise, but the law does not limit their number.

At this stage, you can choose an unlimited number of OKVED codes. However, you should not be zealous and collect them “in reserve,” especially for those types of activities that you do not plan to carry out. Remember that for each individual OKVED code you select, you will subsequently have to file a tax return!

Note! The OKVED code must consist of at least four characters.

IN If it is necessary to license a type of activity, you should contact special authorities with an application for a license. There you will be provided with your OKVED code. Read about what types of activities are subject to licensing in 2018 here.

Government payment duties. Registration of individual entrepreneurs - paid public service. You will need to generate a receipt using free tax service and pay 800 rubles through the cash desk of any bank. You must attach the original receipt received to the general package of documents.

Step #2. Determining where to submit documents

An individual entrepreneur can register with the tax authority at his place of registration.

If the future individual entrepreneur does not have permanent registration, but only temporary registration, he can submit documents to the tax authority at his place of residence.

Finding “your” tax office is very simple - free help official service on the Nalog.ru website. You just need to enter your registration/stay address, and the service will “pull up” the required tax authority.

So, the application to register you as an individual entrepreneur has been completed, a photocopy of your passport (all pages with marks) has been made, the state fee has been paid and the receipt stub is in your hands. What to do next?

The remote method of submitting documents is also not prohibited - through Russian Post. by registered mail with a description of the attachment or through free service from personal account individual entrepreneur.

After 3 working days from the moment the tax office accepts your documents, you can pick up the Unified State Register of Entry Sheets. This will be the main document confirming your status as an individual entrepreneur.

Attention! Innovation: The USRIP entry sheet is issued in place of the OGRN certificate from January 1, 2017.

At your request, tax authorities can send you this document by mail.

Refusal of registration

If you have all the documents in in perfect order, you don’t have to worry about rejection.

However, in the following cases, you are likely to encounter this problem:

  • in the absence of any necessary document;
  • if there are typos in the application or the specified data is unreliable;
  • if the candidate entrepreneur was declared bankrupt less than 5 years ago;
  • if there is a valid court ban on business activities.

Knowing about these pitfalls, in most cases it is easy for an entrepreneur to avoid them.

Step #3. Choosing a tax system

One of the key aspects successful business- in a correctly chosen taxation system. To go to optimal mode payment of taxes, you need to know the basic parameters and conditions for applying each of them.

There are currently 5 tax regimes available:

1. General mode or OSN assigned by default. That is, if you have not taken any further action within 30 days from the date of receipt of the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, then the Federal Tax Service automatically places you on the general taxation system. OSN is characterized by the highest tax burden.

To prevent the Federal Tax Service from making this choice for you, you need to submit a notification about the application of the desired tax system. This can be done simultaneously with the transfer of documents for registration of individual entrepreneurs or within 30 days after.

Otherwise, the nearest reporting period, and for the OSN it is 12 months, the following tax rates and obligations will apply to you:

The general tax regime implies:

  • 20% income tax or 13% personal income tax;
  • 18% VAT on the sale of services and goods;
  • property tax.

An individual entrepreneur should take care of his tax burden and switch to special modes.

2. A single tax on imputed income (UTII) attracts with a fixed tax amount that does not depend on the amount of profit. Moreover, you do not need to calculate it yourself - the state did it for you, determining or imputing to you a certain potential amount of income. The amount of this tax is affected only by physical indicators: the number of hired personnel, the area of ​​retail premises, the number Vehicle etc.

However, this mode cannot be applied if the IP is on the official team more than 100 employees, and the type of activity of the entrepreneur is not suitable for UTII. A complete list of activities permitted for use of the UTII system is contained in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, Art. 346.26, paragraph 2.

Good to know: In UTII mode it is possible to reduce up to 50% tax on the amount of insurance premiums paid in the current quarter for employees. If an individual entrepreneur works without employees, then he can reduce the amount of the single tax up to 100%, reducing it by the amount of the fixed contribution paid to the Pension Fund in the current quarter.

3. Patent tax system (PSN) also has its advantages. For example, there are no requirements for quarterly tax payment and provision tax return. All you need is to purchase a patent for the right type activities and for a certain period from 1 before 12 months. An entrepreneur in the patent system no longer shudders at the thought that he missed the deadline for filing his next tax return. In the future, he only keeps a ledger of income and expenses.

This mode is acceptable for individual entrepreneurs with staff no more than 15 people and an annual profit not exceeding 60 million rubles.

Good to know: You can switch to PSN at any time during the tax period - the patent will be valid from the date of its issue.

You must apply for a patent in advance. The tax authority will issue a patent 10 days after receiving your application.

4. Simplified taxation system (simplified tax system) – is the most profitable today. It represents a minimum tax regime and simplified reporting. An entrepreneur can choose the base from which the tax will be calculated: only on income (gross revenue) or on profit (income minus expenses). A declaration under the simplified tax system is submitted once a year, and the tax is paid in advance payments for the quarter, half a year and year.

An entrepreneur can switch to the simplified tax system at the registration stage or within the first 30 days from the date of entry into the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. If this moment is missed, then the next chance will appear only in the new year.

5. Unified agricultural tax (Unified agricultural tax) is identical to the simplified taxation system. However, it is available only to entrepreneurs who are engaged in the cultivation, sale, and processing of agricultural products.

Attention, innovation! From January 1, 2017, entrepreneurs providing services to agricultural producers also received the right to apply the Unified Agricultural Tax.

It is worth noting that the legislation also provides for the combination of several taxation systems. Let us dwell on the simplified tax system and examine its advantages in more detail.

Simplified taxation system for individual entrepreneurs

As mentioned above, individual entrepreneurs on the “simplified” system suffer least from the amount of taxes and the need to deal with accounting reporting. All that is needed in this case is to keep a ledger of expenses and income.

The simplified tax system also relieves individual entrepreneurs from calculating and paying:

  • VAT- only customs and VAT remain within the framework of trust management and simple partnership agreements;
  • Personal income tax for the individual entrepreneur himself;
  • property tax;
  • land tax;
  • transport tax, if these three types of assets are used in the interests of the individual entrepreneur’s business.

Also, individual entrepreneurs who have chosen gross revenue (only income) as the object of taxation receive the right to reduce their tax to 100% by the amount of the fixed payment paid in the current period to the Pension Fund.

Step #4. Current account for individual entrepreneurs

Opening a current account is not a mandatory condition and remains at the discretion of the individual entrepreneur. It may be needed in cases where most or all of the entrepreneur’s suppliers and clients work on a cashless basis.

How to choose a bank for an individual entrepreneur's current account?

To decide which bank you will open an account with, it is useful to listen to the following tips:

  • It's best to the selected bank is located at your place of residence.
  • The “Bank-Client” function should become one of the main factors when choosing a bank. After all, management in cash, receipts and sending payment orders through online banking is a very convenient thing. It greatly saves your time visiting the bank and standing in line for service.
  • Pay attention not only to cost of opening a current account, but also its monthly maintenance, and cost of one payment order.
  • The selected bank must provide service for registration of the usual plastic card to an individual, where funds will be transferred from the current account you opened;
  • Choose a bank with long operating hours. It's not very convenient when your bank limits your checking account transactions to 16:00.

What documents are required to open a bank account?

Each bank has its own list of requirements. However, basically they all ask for the following:

  • Application for opening an account;
  • original passport;
  • extract or record sheet of the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs;
  • a card with samples of the individual entrepreneur’s signature and his seal (certified by a notary or a bank employee in the presence of the entrepreneur);
  • licenses and patents, if any;
  • SNILS.

Previously, all individual entrepreneurs were required to notify the tax office about opening a current account within 5 days.

However, since April 2014, this procedure has been abolished, which has made life significantly easier for Russian entrepreneurs.

Yes, on official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia the following information was published: came into force on May 2, 2014 the federal law dated 04/02/2014 No. 52-FZ, which amended Article 23 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation to abolish the obligation of taxpayers - individual entrepreneurs to report to the tax authorities about the opening (closing) of bank accounts.

Step #5. Online cash register for individual entrepreneurs in 2018: who is exempt and who is obliged to use it?

The procedure for individual entrepreneurs’ handling of cash has been a popular subject of state control over the past two years. The government is trying to bring the income of entrepreneurs out of the shadows, making their payments to the population completely transparent.

Thus, in the latest edition dated July 3, 2018, 54-FZ “On the application cash register equipment when making payments in the Russian Federation” it is clearly stated that From July 1, 2018, the following categories of entrepreneurs are required to switch to using online cash registers:

  • Individual entrepreneurs on the general and simplified taxation systems, providing catering services;
  • Individual entrepreneurs on UTII and Patent, working in the field of trade and catering and using hired labor;
  • Individual entrepreneurs on any taxation system and regardless of the field of activity, if they use the labor of at least 1 employee.

That is, already now they must carry out cash payments with their clients through an online cash register.

A deferment until July 1, 2019 for the use of an online cash register is given to the following individual entrepreneurs:

  1. Individual entrepreneur provides services to the population (except for catering and retail). Checks are then replaced by strict reporting forms, sales receipts, receipts.
  2. Individual entrepreneur operates in any field, but does not have a single employee. At the consumer's request, he is obliged to issue him a receipt or check that confirms the fact of the transaction.

Before the expiration of this “graceful” adaptation period, entrepreneurs are recommended to purchase, register and work out several test operations through an online cash register in advance (1-2 months in advance).

The following are forever exempt from any type of CCT:

  • Individual entrepreneurs operating in remote and hard-to-reach areas;
  • whose business is in the care and supervision of children, the sick, the disabled, the elderly;
  • Individual entrepreneurs engaged in the acceptance of glass containers and secondary raw materials, but not scrap metal;
  • Porter services can also be provided without the use of a cash register.

Important! Persons who conduct business without using online cash registers in areas where they are required may receive a fine of 10,000 rubles or more.

Step #6. Production of IP seal

A seal is an optional attribute of an individual entrepreneur, but it can be useful when opening a bank account or in the process of drawing up and signing contracts and concluding transactions.

To date, the Government has not determined strict requirements to the content of additional details on the seals of organizations.

You can purchase stamps from any company that directly manufactures them. If desired, the entrepreneur can order simple printing or automatic printing. The cost of the finished product is from 400 to 800 rubles. You can reduce time and choose one of the ready-made samples or order an individual design.

Examples of seals and stamps of individual entrepreneurs

The legislation does not prohibit placement on seals additional information in the form of a logo, TIN or ORGN. But the placement of objects of state symbols on stamps is prohibited.

Important! The seal of an individual entrepreneur at the tax office and other government agencies does not require registration.

5. Pros and cons of individual entrepreneurs. Responsibilities and rights that are important to know about as an individual entrepreneur

Once you have received the Unified State Register of Entrepreneurs (USRIP) entry sheet, you can safely begin to start and develop your entrepreneurial activity.

However, it is important to remember the limitations.
For example, among them there is a ban on wholesale And retail trade in alcoholic beverages. If you want to open a store in which alcoholic beverages will be among the goods, you should register with the tax office as a legal entity - LLC.

Ignoring this restriction is the most common violation among individual entrepreneurs. But before you open your business, it is important to familiarize yourself with full list all prohibited types of activities of individual entrepreneurs. You can download this list below from the link:

Advantages and disadvantages of individual entrepreneurs as a form of business

We can talk a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of opening a company in the form of an individual entrepreneur, since there are enough of both. However, it is enough to consider at least the main ones to get some picture of the individual entrepreneur.

Advantages (+):

Advantage 1st. Simplified registration process

Almost everyone can register an individual entrepreneur. That is, there is no need to resort to the help of independent experts. A person who has at least once encountered the preparation of any type of documentation will spend on this procedure maximum 1.5 hours of time. Moreover, there is no need for personal interaction with the tax office - registration documents can be sent by mail or electronically.

Advantage 2. Relatively low penalties and three-year immunity from tax audits

The commercial activities of individual entrepreneurs are subject to control and supervisory measures of various bodies, but in the first three years no one has the right to “touch” the entrepreneur with inspections.

If an entrepreneur conducted his activities carefully and conscientiously, then even after this period tax inspectors and Rospotrebnadzor will not come to him.

That is, in order for everything to go smoothly, individual entrepreneurs should take care of compliance with sanitary standards, timely submission of tax returns to the Federal Tax Service and information to the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund.

But even if it happened that a novice businessman committed an administrative violation, then the penalties on average 10 times less those assigned to legal entities for similar offenses. However, we can talk about this for quite a long time. In any case, individual entrepreneurship rightfully tops the list of the most “benign” forms commercial activities.

Advantage 3. High level of work flexibility

This organizational and legal form provides the opportunity to freely own and dispose of all proceeds from business activities. Based on this, you are completely “your own boss” and can do whatever you want with the proceeds immediately after receiving it. For comparison, an LLC does not have such an opportunity.

This has already been mentioned above, but it is still worth mentioning in the list of advantages the possibility of working as an individual entrepreneur without having a seal. In case of conclusion of commercial and even employment contracts You just need to put your signature indicating “B. P.", which means "without seal."

There is no urgent need to open a bank account; you can only work with cash.

It is much easier to open an individual entrepreneur new point in another city or even region. If the PSN is used, the entrepreneur will only buy a patent in the region being developed. With UTII, it will be registered with the local tax authority. For comparison: in this case, an LLC will need to register a branch or separate division with a bunch of accompanying red tape.

Disadvantages (−):

Disadvantage 1. Level of responsibility for obligations

Pay special attention! According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, all property belonging to him serves as security for debt obligations of an individual entrepreneur.

What does this mean? Let’s imagine a situation where an individual entrepreneur failed to fulfill his responsibilities and accumulated a certain amount of debt. At this moment, creditors have every right to take away from an individual entrepreneur in court: bank deposits, car, any material values, real estate that is not a single residence.

Among the main responsibilities of an individual entrepreneur is the payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund. At the same time, the fact that the entrepreneur did not make a profit or worked at a loss is not taken into account. Also, payment of a fixed payment to the Pension Fund is mandatory if the individual entrepreneur did not conduct business at all and even due to incapacity for work.

So, for example, for 2017, each individual entrepreneur had to pay 27 990 rubles of mandatory insurance contributions.

In 2018, the amount of the fixed payment for the “future pension” will already be 32,385 rubles. per year, and then provided that the revenue for 12 months did not exceed 300,000 rubles. Otherwise, you will have to pay the Pension Fund another 1% of the amount exceeding this limit.

For example, the income of IP Sidorov for 2018 amounted to 1,000,000 rubles. Until December 31, 2018, he must pay a fixed contribution of 32,385 rubles to the Pension Fund. And since his revenue exceeded 300,000 rubles, he will additionally give the Pension Fund 1% of the excess amount: (1,000,000 - 300,000)*1%=70,000 rubles.

In total, IP Smirnov replenished the Fund by 102,385 rubles.

Disadvantage 2.“An organization that has no name” or your name in plain sight

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for its own name for individual entrepreneurship. Your name in all documents will be your Last Name, First Name, Patronymic.

For example: abbreviated name of individual entrepreneur Pupkin F.M. Full name: Individual entrepreneur Pupkin Firdaus Magometkadyrovich

So, in comparison, legal entities have the right to an individual name.

For example: Limited Liability Company "Megapolis" or LLC "Megapolis".

Disadvantage 3. Image nuances

For unknown reasons, in practice, not all companies have the desire to cooperate with individual entrepreneurs, fearing some vague reputational risks. Nevertheless, the tactics of conducting commercial activities of an individual entrepreneur are not inferior to the principles of an LLC, and the measure of responsibility of an entrepreneur is disproportionately higher.

For those who are joining the ranks of businessmen for the first time, experts still recommend opening an individual entrepreneur.

After all the stages of registering an individual entrepreneurship have been completed, you need to carefully study your rights and obligations in order to avoid troubles. To do this, download a document that specifies all the rights and obligations of an individual entrepreneur.
