And the question of belonging to a certain department of the tax inspectorate, that is, the registration authority, is very important when filling out the form: after all, it is this department that will receive the completed registration documents and where you can get a certificate.

The portal offers to download a unified program for transferring the necessary documentation directly to the tax authorities, and here it is important to indicate the correct tax office that will deal with the registration of individual entrepreneurs. The program also has an option to determine the type of activity; in the drop-down window, select the activity you will be engaged in and the type of taxation.

You will have to transfer your general passport data and yours through the program. After filling out the data, you will need to pay for the service with a card from any bank or electronic money, the cost is only 800 rubles.

The documents will be checked, and then a confirmation will be sent to your email address and an application number will be assigned. You will need it when receiving documents from the tax office. The entire process of tax registration will take place automatically, but the certificate can only be obtained during a personal visit.

1. Full name, all passport details and place of permanent or temporary registration.
2. Email address of the mailbox, messages from the portal will be sent to it.
3. If you don’t have a TIN, you can get one online; the program can determine it itself based on the specified data and enter it in the application form.
4. You need to specify the activity code, a list of OKVED codes appears in the context menu, specify it.
5. Based on the registration address, the program will help determine affiliation with a particular tax office.

It is important to know that if the applicant has a criminal record, it will not be possible to register an individual entrepreneur.

It is also very important to determine the tax system under which the entrepreneur will work; the most common and favorite is simplified taxation at a rate of 6 or 15% of the profit received.

What documents need to be prepared:

• general passport or equivalent document: scanned version;
• a certificate of permanent or temporary registration at the citizen’s place of residence, a scan of the registration page;
• a receipt confirming payment of the state fee, which can be printed after payment for services;

All this is packaged into a RAR archive and sent from a specific form on the portal.

But there are still cases when registration is denied. For example, an entrepreneur wants to register again as an individual entrepreneur, but the procedure for liquidating the previous individual entrepreneur was not carried out. Or an entrepreneur leads his company to bankruptcy, and a court decision on this still has legal force. Or when proceedings were initiated against the entrepreneur for the forced termination of his activities.

They may also refuse if the entrepreneur intends to conduct illegal activities on the territory of the Russian Federation, for example, produce excisable products or engage in the transportation of passengers without obtaining a license for this type of activity. There are many cases of failure, they are individual in each case.

After this, the portal sets a clear algorithm for opening an IP:

1. Fill out the state application. registration of physical persons as individual entrepreneurs. You must select New Application if it is being created for the first time. At this stage, all necessary documents are attached. It is worth noting that it is very important to choose the appropriate tax system when submitting an application. Currently, there are general and special systems. They all have different characteristics and are applicable to a certain type of activity and working conditions. (For example, it is profitable to purchase a patent if the individual entrepreneur, as an employer, fixes the number of workers and the type of work performed, and does not plan to change these indicators).
2. Sending an application to the tax office. The service will send a message confirming the acceptance of the application by the tax authority. Upon completion of this stage, all that remains is to wait for the results of the review of the electronic document. Most of the work has already been done.

If you submit it online, you can exclude the possibility that the document will not be accepted due to unreadable handwriting, which is typical for people. The information in the application is genuine, exactly as in the passport. When considering an application, the specified information is carefully processed.
2. Secondly, the law regulates the list of required documents. The application will not be accepted if the package of documents is incomplete. When collecting papers for successful registration, it is enough to be attentive and take it seriously.
3. Thirdly, if the application is not submitted through government services, then you need to contact the Federal Tax Service exclusively at the place of registration of the individual. This is a common and offensive reason for refusal to register an individual entrepreneur.
4. Fourthly, one person can register only one individual entrepreneur. If the previous individual entrepreneur is not liquidated, the new one does not have the right to be registered.
5. Fifthly, if the individual entrepreneur was liquidated as bankrupt, then the deadline for re-registration must be postponed no earlier than a year.

What is recommended to do in case of refusal? First of all, the reason for the refusal is determined. If it is established, it is necessary to determine its validity and compliance with reality. If the refusal is justified, then it is worth eliminating the shortcomings and resubmitting the application.

If there is no reason for refusal, it is recommended to go to court to appeal the decision. A suitable solution in this case would be to seek help from lawyers who take on the affairs of beginning individual entrepreneurs. These people will save the costs of litigation and help turn the situation around in favor of the failed individual entrepreneur.

After receiving a refusal, in order to re-apply, you must collect documents again and pay the state fee. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the procedure the first time.

Any business requires investments, among other expenses, you need to count on financial costs when registering an individual entrepreneur:

1. Mandatory payment to the state - state duty of 800 rubles. Additional expenses are expected from the bank - a commission is charged. Paying online for this cost item is an assistant in saving money.
2. The recommended condition for registering an individual entrepreneur is the availability of a bank account. If you do not have an account, depending on the conditions of the selected bank, the opening fee varies up to 1000 rubles.
3. The law provides for another distinctive sign of an individual entrepreneur: a seal. The signature and seal give the document legal force. You will have to spend another 500 rubles to make the seal.
4. The payment for the services of intermediaries will cost 3,000 rubles. You can really avoid this point: if you wish, collect the necessary documents yourself. Collecting papers is a responsible task that takes a lot of effort and time. The positive consideration of the application by the inspectorate will depend on this.

Pros and cons of registering an individual entrepreneur via the Internet

Registration of individual entrepreneurs online has a number of advantages, but, unfortunately, it is not without some disadvantages. First, you can pay attention to the positive aspects. These include the following:

1. The application is filled out automatically by the system itself;
2. The official deadline for the registration procedure is three days, but often the applicant has the opportunity to receive documents the very next day;
3. You will have to come to the tax office in person only once - to receive ready-made documents;
4. There is no need to pay for related services.

There is only one disadvantage that is typical for registering an individual entrepreneur online, but you should not forget about it. Once an invitation from the tax office is received, there are only a few days to collect the documents. If this is not done, the application will be automatically canceled, and it will be problematic to return the paid fee.

To register an individual entrepreneur online, you can use one of the methods common in 2018:

1. Submitting an electronic application through the e-government portal Gosuslugi.RU.
2. Formation of an application and sending documents through the Internet service of the Federal Tax Service.

Instructions for registering individual entrepreneurs online through the Federal Tax Service website

Currently, the official website of the Federal Tax Service offers citizens two options for providing services that allow them to open an individual entrepreneur online:

1. Submitting an application and generating documents. This method is considered very simple and convenient. It is in this way that free registration of individual entrepreneurs is usually carried out.
2. Sending an electronic application and documents signed with digital signature. In this case, the citizen will need to issue an EDS (electronic digital signature). When sending documents, you will need to use an electronic signature key certificate, to obtain which you will need to contact a specialized organization. Or, to carry out the procedure for sending documents, you will need to use the services of a notary.

Most citizens find it more convenient to use the first method, which does not require an electronic digital signature, so it should be considered in more detail. Below are step-by-step instructions for beginners that will help you complete the registration procedure without any problems.

Step 1. Registration on the Federal Tax Service portal

• go to the official website of the Federal Tax Service on the individual entrepreneur registration page;
• create a personal account? if you do not have an account on this site;
• follow the link “Registering an individual as an individual entrepreneur.”

Step 2. Enter information about yourself and the proposed business.

At this stage, you need to enter passport and contact information about yourself, as well as data about the proposed business - OKVED business type codes. That is, choose the types of business that you plan to engage in as an individual entrepreneur. You should approach this issue seriously and think about what you will do in the near and possibly long-term future. You will need to select one main activity code and several additional ones. We recommend specifying no more than 10 codes, including the main one.

Also at this stage you need to choose a method for receiving documents. You must select the first option - “Issue to the applicant.”

Step 3. Data verification by the system.

After filling in all the data in the previous step, the system will check the correctness of the entered data. If everything is OK, then after completing the check you need to click on the “Next” button and proceed to the next step.

Step 4. Payment of the state fee for individual entrepreneur registration.

There are various ways to pay the state fee for registration as an individual entrepreneur. For example, in cash or non-cash.

If you fill out an application online, then it would be logical to pay the fee online. To do this, choose a non-cash payment method, after which many different payment sources will open. Among them are the Internet banks of the largest Russian banks, the state duty payment service of the government services portal and many others. Most often they choose Sberbank-online or a government service.

After paying a fee of 800 rubles, an electronic receipt will be generated and it will be sent to you by email. From this receipt you need to copy the unique payment order number and paste it on the Federal Tax Service electronic service page. The service will automatically check whether the payment went through or not.

By the way, don’t forget to print out the payment receipt, because you will need it when you come to the tax office to collect your documents.

Step 5. The final stage is choosing the application method.

At the final stage, you need to choose the method of sending the application and documents for individual entrepreneur registration.

• Directly or by mail. In this case, the system will “upload” your data that you filled into an Excel file. These documents must be printed and come to the tax office or sent by mail.
• In electronic form without digital signature. This method is the most suitable in our time. Everything that you filled out in the previous steps will also be generated in an Excel file, but it does not need to be printed and sent. You simply choose this method and this application + payment receipt is sent to the tax office automatically.

This completes sending the application through the Federal Tax Service. Now you need to wait until the tax office checks your application and receipt within 3 working days and invites you to visit the tax office.

Within 2 weeks you must report to the tax office, which will be indicated in the invitation. You must have the following documents with you: passport, a copy of all pages of the passport (each on a separate sheet), TIN and a printed receipt of payment.

Having arrived at the tax service with these documents, the inspector will check these data with real documents and send the application for registration further and set a time when you need to come for documents confirming the registration of the individual entrepreneur. Maximum next business day. But there are times when they ask you to come for ready-made documents after 2-3 hours.

P/S when you are at the tax office, do not forget to immediately fill out the notification about choosing a taxation system (basic 13%, simplified tax system 6 or 15%, patent, etc.). if you do nothing, the default will be the main type - 13% of profit. For new individual entrepreneurs, there are 30 calendar days to make a decision and submit an application for a change in taxation.

Instructions for online registration of individual entrepreneurs through STATE SERVICES

You can use the STATE SERVICES portal to register an individual entrepreneur only after creating a personal account on the website. In this case, you will need to enter fairly complete information about yourself: full name, date of birth, passport details, TIN certificate, SNILS, as well as place of registration. At the end of the registration procedure, a letter with an account activation code will be sent to the specified email address. Only after this will all the functionality of your personal account be available.

As you can see, a big minus is immediately revealed here. If you do not have an activated account on the State Services portal, then you will not be able to quickly register an individual entrepreneur, since you will need to wait for a confirmation letter by Russian post (2-3 weeks). If you already use the portal, then registering an individual entrepreneur through the State Services portal will be convenient and simple for you under one condition.

If you are going to register an individual entrepreneur online through the State Services Internet portal, then you will need an electronic digital signature (EDS).

If you have an electronic signature, you will need to log into your personal account. To register an individual entrepreneur via the Internet, you must select “Business, entrepreneurship and non-profit organizations” in the service catalog and click on the link “Registration of legal entities and entrepreneurs” (In this case, 5 days are allotted for registration)/

Next, you fill out the electronic registration application form, select the types of activities that you plan to engage in as an individual entrepreneur and scan the necessary documents (passport). Scanning a passport, oddly enough, causes great difficulties for many. The fact is that there are rather “strange” requirements for uploaded passport scans - black and white images in a multi-page TIFF file and a certain size. When I came across this, I had to look for a program to create a multi-page TIFF file. The XnView program helped.

After successfully uploading documents to the electronic application, you must sign it with your electronic digital signature (EDS) and select the method of receiving registration documents: by mail or electronically. This completes the application submission procedure.

As you can see, online registration of individual entrepreneurs through the government services portal is not quite as simple as it seems at first glance. There are both advantages, but also significant disadvantages.

Pros and cons of online registration of individual entrepreneurs through government services

From advantages the following can be distinguished:

1. You can register an individual entrepreneur online without leaving your home. You only need to fill out an application, upload documents, sign an electronic signature and receive registration documents electronically or on paper.
2. Quick registration. By submitting a registration application through this portal, you can become an individual entrepreneur in just a couple of days. The quick registration period is due to the fact that you do not have to go anywhere or take/pick up documents.
3. Discounted state duty. If you open an individual entrepreneur through government services and immediately pay the state fee on the same website, you can take advantage of a 30% discount on the cost of the state fee. Instead of 800 rubles, you will need to pay only 560 rubles.

From shortcomings The following immediately stand out:

1. Must have verified account on the state portal.
2. To send an electronic application, it is mandatory electronic digital signature, which costs some money (about 2,500 rubles per year). It will not be possible to send an application without a digital signature.
3. You must be able to create TIFF multi-page format. Also no more than a certain size.

Everyone can decide for themselves which method is more suitable and which one to use. But we can definitely say that for most Russians the most suitable way to register an individual entrepreneur online via the Internet is to submit documents through the Federal Tax Service portal.
