So you've decided to become an entrepreneur! A good prospect for those who are tired of depending on the 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?
It is most expedient to become an individual entrepreneur, or an individual entrepreneur, for those who want to conduct business as an individual, that is, without forming a legal entity.
What is the difference? The fact that legal entities must necessarily have an authorized capital and 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 there is! The legislation of the Russian Federation prohibits the opening of IP to citizens who are 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.
Exists All-Russian classifier types of economic activity (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 - you can download it on the website of the Federal Tax Service (form P21001), or take form in 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 entrepreneurship, then this stage of 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! This is where the need for help comes in. Email(through special services), intermediaries by proxy or to 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?
- Document on registration with the tax office
- Extract from the state register of IP (EGRIP)
- 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 is major 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!
For every extraordinary person, endowed with the ability to earn money in a different way than the majority of officially employed, the society presses mercilessly. This is because “it is not customary for us”, “everyone works - and you work”, “you will be left without a pension, you are guaranteed a hungry old age”, etc. A way out of the situation is possible: opening an individual entrepreneur, that is, registering with the tax authority as an individual entrepreneur. Seniority in this case, it will start from the day of registration, and social guarantees for a comfortable old age are provided. Ideal for freelancers.
The opening of an individual entrepreneur is also relevant for those people who already have an official place of work: the status of a legal entity provides new business opportunities and allows you to additionally attract third-party investor capital. There are many advantages, and for each type of activity, for each individual entrepreneur, they have their own.
We present you a step-by-step instruction for opening an IP from scratch.
A package of documents for opening an IP
By the way, about the types of activities. OKVED classifier contains a complete list of them, and before writing an application, you will need to familiarize yourself with it and choose several types “for yourself”. It is better to choose a few, with a perspective on the future. This foresight will help you save money: in the future, when adding (changing) OKVED codes, you will be required to pay a state duty. The very first OKVED you choose must correspond to the main type of activity, the rest - additional or related. If in doubt, you can consult a specialist.
Right OKVED choice- this is not a simple formality: there are a number of activities for which an entrepreneur can be provided with some preferential conditions for his business activities. Therefore, it is in your interests to approach this matter with all responsibility.
The application is filled out in the form P21001 (you can take it from the tax office or download it on the Internet). Your personal data and pre-selected OKVED codes. If you are submitting the application yourself (not by mail or through a proxy), then the signature can not be certified by a notary, although in order to avoid filling out errors (and there can be many of them, despite the seeming simplicity of the document), it is still recommended to contact this specialist. It will cost several hundred rubles: a quite reasonable price in exchange for ensuring that the application is accepted the first time. Copies of all pages of the passport should also be certified there.
The state duty for opening an individual entrepreneur is now 800 rubles. This payment can be made at any branch of the bank, the main thing is not to lose the receipt. So, what does the package of documents submitted to the tax office include:
- IP registration application;
- Copies of all pages of the passport (including empty ones);
- Copy of TIN (if any);
- Receipt for payment of contribution to the treasury, that is, state duty.
If you do not have a TIN, then you can apply for registration in parallel, although usually this document do when the IP registration is already underway (within 5 days after the submission of the relevant application), or even after the registration is completed. This point can be clarified with an employee of the tax inspectorate.
IP registration application
Please note: you need to submit documents to the IFTS according to your registration address, that is, taking into account the territorial affiliation of the tax. Otherwise, your application will be rejected and you will lose time.
So, the reasons for the refusal to register an IP:
- The wrong body of the IFTS was selected;
- Documents are incorrectly drawn up;
- Not the entire package of documents has been submitted;
- From the day you were declared bankrupt (according to the previous type economic activity) has not yet passed one year;
- The ban imposed on your business activities by the court is in force.
In addition, for a person who has not reached the age of majority, there must be a conclusion of the court or guardianship authorities, indicating that he has reached the state of full legal capacity. The marriage of a person under the age of 18 is also considered a condition for providing the opportunity to open an individual entrepreneur.
In all other cases, subject to consultation with a notary on filling out an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur, you are guaranteed a positive response. The deadline for registering an individual entrepreneur in the tax office is five working days. You will receive two documents: OGRNIP and EGRIP plus TIN, if a corresponding application was submitted. They can be handed over to you either in person or by mail at the place of residence. Better, of course, to take such securities on one's own.
Registration of an individual entrepreneur in the tax
Next, you will need to decide on the tax system. Many individual entrepreneurs choose the simplified tax system (“simplified”), but pay attention to the fact that since 2013 it has been called the patent taxation system. If you plan to work closely with companies that take into account VAT in prices, then you are better off choosing OSN (main system). Then the income tax will not be 6%, as in the case of the "simplified", but 13%. Plus property tax, personal income tax, VAT and other deductions. However, if you plan to hire more than 15 employees, DOS is unavoidable. UTII ("imputation") is now rarely used, this issue is resolved in the municipality.
If you choose the simplified tax system, and at the same time your expenses (according to estimates) will be 60% of income or more, then it makes sense to choose a tax not of 6%, but of 5-15%. Then the rate will be calculated individually and multiplied not by the amount of profit, but by the difference between income and expenses. By this issue It makes sense to consult an economist.
When choosing a taxation system other than the DOS, which is applied by default, you will need to write an appropriate application, and within a few days the procedure will be completed. You will then acquire tax reporting obligations as part of your business activities.
Registration of individual entrepreneurs in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Social Insurance Fund
After receiving the relevant documents, you will need to apply to the pension fund. The tax office will inform you about the "birth" of a new entrepreneur immediately, but you will need to come in order to clarify the amount of mandatory monthly insurance premiums, which will ensure your retirement future. To obtain the necessary details, you will need copies of the following documents:
- OGRN;
- USRIP;
- SNILS;
- The passport.
If you hire employees (become an official employer), then in addition to the PF is provided labor contract, employment history and SNILS (payer certificate), and in addition, you will also have to register with the FSS. You can register with the FSS (social insurance) even if you personally need vacation, maternity leave or sick leave. In a word, registration with the FSS provides additional social guarantees. Contributions to both the PF and the FSS can be paid either every month, or immediately pay the amount for the entire year. The staff will help you calculate it. The total payment is usually a little over 1000 rubles.
Do you need a business account?
Additionally, you will have to register with Rosstat. It will also take a maximum of several days, and at the end of the procedure you will receive an extract that you will need to present at the bank when opening a current account (r / s) of an individual entrepreneur. R / s is not a prerequisite for registering an individual entrepreneur, however, if you plan to receive significant amounts from counterparties under one contract, the law obliges you to this formality. Yes, and it will be more convenient for you. After opening a bank account, you will be connected to the client-bank service for convenient payments (and their acceptance) by bank transfer.
How much does it cost to open a sole proprietorship?
If you do everything yourself, then the cost of registering an individual entrepreneur will not exceed more than 2000 rubles, including state duty and overhead costs (notary, photocopies, etc.). If you open a settlement account, then add another 800 rubles. A simple seal without a coat of arms will cost 300 rubles.
If you contact an office that will do everything for you, then opening an IP will cost you 5000-7000 tr.
It is done
After all the formalities have been settled, you can safely proceed to exercise your rights as an individual entrepreneur, without forgetting, however, about your obligations. tax reporting in the case of choosing the simplified tax system, it is quite possible to conduct it independently, the same applies to UTII, but entrepreneurs usually hire an accountant to work on the main system. Depending on the selected system, the duration of the reporting period may be different: once a month, once a quarter or once a year.

Many people ask themselves: “I want to start my own business, but where to start?” Realizing that this business takes a lot of time and effort, people leave this pipe dream. It is much easier for them to work 8 hours, return home, watch TV with their legs up high, drink beer with friends and not think about anything. It is not so easy to have your own business, it takes everything free time and makes you think about your development around the clock. But there are those who are attracted by their work, as it is independence and the realization of their own ideas.
A new kind of business projects
Getting started, you need to understand how to start your small business. Today, such a type as a startup has become popular all over the world. This activity has a short history with a short development time. This concept arose only when a large number of IT companies began to appear around the world that served narrow-profile needs. various businesses big and middle class. These firms differ from their "brothers" in that they are looking for free places in the market. They do this in order to introduce their experimental and advanced technologies.
Many do not part with their thought: “I want to open my own business, where to start?” They think, reflect and actively start work. And they get it. For example, trade in various goods and services through a social network. Such a boom began only a couple of years ago, but has generated a lot of interest among people who are actively involved in these projects. Thanks to such conditions, you do not need to spend your money on unprofitable and expensive retail. You do not need to pay a large amount for renting a room, communal payments and the salary of their subordinates. You just need to create a page in social network and upload the necessary pictures with goods, their prices, and then tell a large number of people. And in social networks, such a system as “word of mouth” works great. Your friend used your product and then told his friends. And your business will quickly bring good income.
How to open a small business, where to start?
To get a loan for - it doesn't matter if it's a traditional scheme or a start-up - you can use banks that finance private entrepreneurship. Unfortunately, the interest for business is too high, and not everyone will decide on such an adventure. When thinking about offering your services, you need to know where to start. First, it is an analysis. You need to study everything about your industry: what new technologies are there, what is happening today in the chosen field. For example, a future businessman is sure that his product is worth five kopecks, but if it is properly developed and presented to people, it will cost thousands. Only after such an analysis, a startup is an excellent scheme for starting a business.
Franchising
It is necessary to answer another important question: "How to start a business from scratch?" Ideas can be different, maybe it will be something that you can do with your hands, or something that you want to do. For example, franchising is when an entrepreneur buys the right to operate under any brand. In addition, you will receive assistance from the owners during the opening and constant quality control of products. Remember that there are some successful international and domestic franchise companies. For example, the most recognizable restaurant fast food- "McDonald's", which has a large number of outlets around the world. The owner of this network monitors all the goods with high quality and the good work of his employees, so that when you come to some country, you feel the same taste of Coca-Cola, Burger or ice cream. All McDonald's cashiers and waiters are the friendliest people in the world. This is achieved by their trademark greeting "Free cash" and the offer of a pie for coffee, which cannot be violated, since this is part of the system.
Among domestic franchising projects, there are restaurants such as Yappi, Celentano, Kartoplyana Hata. They have hundreds of points of sale in our country and, just like McDonald's, they have a unified set of dishes, marketing and design.
Which business to open
A future entrepreneur constantly thinks about this question: "I want to open my own business, where should I start?" For example, you can open a hairdressing salon, a restaurant or a shop, while buying a franchise. Before opening, you need to thoroughly analyze the market, competitors and the work of the opened establishments. Will the selected service (product) be in demand, will the acquired franchise be competitive among other representatives.
business acquaintances
When starting a business, business contacts can help. Most often, you have to resolve issues through acquaintances who work in government bodies. Such connections can help to open and develop a business. It is also important to give full information to future consumers about your services and products. For example, you produce concrete blocks, and for this you need to know about all future buyers in order to offer products on time at an attractive price.
Exploring the area
Today, you can easily open your own business. Business ideas for beginners can be different. You can choose and start very quickly, as many are tired of living and working like everyone else. People want something new, unique products. They want to be different from their neighbors in everything: clothes, lifestyle, habits, priorities. Therefore, it became fashionable to open small private shops with products from farms or special beauty salons only for men.
You can also notice such places for recreation as coffee houses. The barista who works in such an establishment knows his customers. Someone likes coffee, and someone likes cappuccino on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays, and there are those who prefer their favorite dish on holidays. Such an individual approach to their clients is the key to the success of their business. Therefore, asking the question: “I want to open my own business, where to start, I don’t know?” - for a start, it’s worth exploring the territory. Then you can understand what exactly people lack.
Choosing a business idea
Where else can newbies look for ideas? Of course, in the industry in which you are well versed. For example, you used to work in the field of purchasing clothes for a large chain store. And now you understand that it's time to start a business with minimum investment. To do this, you can find ideas in everyday life. The Internet is full of offers for the sale of clothes. Perhaps there are too few children's things in your area, and they are expensive.
In addition, not many people can afford shopping in America or Europe, where quality goods worth every penny. If you are wondering: "I want to open my own business, where do I start?" - An excellent option would be to create your own online clothing store, where you can buy high-quality children's clothes at low prices.
Travel business
This type of activity is becoming popular among entrepreneurs. Newcomers want to open travel business where to start, they don't know. Despite the great competition, this type of activity attracts with its cost-effectiveness at the first stage. If you decide to open your own travel agency, then you need to know about some rules.
Tourism legislation identifies three types of activities for licensing:
- Travel agency activity.
- Tour operator activity.
- Timeshare.
To open this type of business, you need to comply with some requirements that are spelled out in the Regulation on Licensing Tour Operator and Travel Agency Activities. To do this, you will need a room that you can rent and hire employees. The license is issued both for an ordinary individual entrepreneur and for a legal entity (CJSC, LLC, etc.). For registration, you need to pay a state fee of 400 rubles. After that, you need to certify a copy of your passport and your signature with a notary, which costs about 600 rubles. It is imperative to make a seal, which will take about 200 rubles, and receive statistics codes for payment to the state's piggy bank.
Do not forget about the certificate for booking and selling air travel. Conditions for certification are established by the Federal Aviation Rules. They include requirements for personnel, premises, security systems and reservations. If you want to sell tickets on your own, you should sign an agreement with the airline and get a certificate.
After all the necessary operations, you need to find customers. This is where advertising can help. Today there are a huge number of advertising agencies. To somehow stand out from the huge number of proposals, first determine target audience for your travel agency. If you sell high priced cruises, advertising in a cheap newspaper won't get you customers. You need to choose business publications or glossy magazines. A good effect is brought by special catalogs about tourism and recreation. Before you advertise in such publications, you need to come up with and develop your own memorable corporate identity.
What do you need to start a business
Before you start your business, you need to choose a field of activity. After the idea is fully studied and ready to be realized, it is necessary to register your organization. For small businesses, registration of an individual entrepreneur (IP) is suitable. This form of taxation allows you to hire up to 10 workers. In addition, you can register up to six additional species your activities. But remember that there are some that require a license.
Business plan
There are various business ideas for beginners, and they all require necessary tool- business plan. Properly drawn up, this document will help your organization in the future. It should include the basics of studying competitors, consumers and the market. In addition, it must include the full marketing plan on which your product will be promoted.
Business ideas for a certain amount
Do you have a free amount of money that you want to invest in your business? Opening a business for 100,000 rubles is not difficult. For example, if you can do nice photos then that would be a great idea. Today it has become popular to be a photographer at weddings, various celebrations and individual shootings. To do this, you need to purchase:
- Good camera.
- Tripods.
- Lighting technology.
For 100,000 rubles, you can buy coffee machines and put them in places where they will be popular. These can be institutes, hospitals, parking lots, etc. Do not forget that you will have to solve some issues regarding the rental, constant maintenance of the machine, etc.
For girls, the work of a manicure master is perfect. The specified amount will be spent on training, advertising and the purchase of necessary materials.
Another option is a small atelier for tailoring. To open such a business, you need to properly manage the funds. To do this, you need to purchase samples of materials and equipment. If you have a small apartment, then rent a room. If you do not have sewing skills, then hire employees and be sure to advertise.
Your profitable business depends on the organization. You can arrange it as written above, or you can sign contracts with employees so that they can work on their typewriters. And you will only find customers and take your percentage for it. This is usually done in small hairdressers. Thanks to this option, you do not have to spend money on advertising. If you think about it, every problem has a solution. In any case, business is a big risk.
Business projects
"Where else can you find business ideas for beginners?" - you ask. Many inexperienced entrepreneurs are helped by their more mature "colleagues" who are already successfully developing their business. Thanks to their advice, you can draw up the first business plan own business or find a franchise. Experts recommend avoiding those activities that are widespread. For example, such as nail salons. The best choice there will be those that have little competitiveness.
A great activity is selling as a small business. Where to start depends on each individual case. For example, to sell jewelry, you need to find a wholesaler whose prices are lower than others. In addition, you can easily make money on the Internet. Many prefer stock trading, such as Forex. If this is a dense forest for you, then you will have to spend time learning.
To understand what kind of business you can start, first evaluate your own strengths. Being a good hockey player, you can't win a bowling game based on the fact that these two activities are sports. Passion for business depends on what you are well versed in, where you know all the intricacies of the market and are sure that you yourself will give 100% to your business. Remember that profit does not come immediately. Perhaps some time will pass. It may be a month or two. Especially it concerns start-up business, in which minimum funds. Given these conditions, as well as applying the tips, you will turn your business into a profitable enterprise. Potential clients become permanent for you.

1. Choose a method of registering an IP
There are two ways to open an IP:
- Self-registration IP. A fairly easy procedure, which consists in preparing a few simple documents. In addition, aspiring entrepreneurs will gain valuable experience in interacting with tax officials.
- Paid registration of IP through a specialized company. Suitable for those who want to save their time and do not want to delve into the process of state registration of IP on their own.
How much does it cost to open a sole proprietorship
Register your own IP
Note: part of the above expenses can be returned if you are registered with the employment center as unemployed.
Paid to open an IP through a specialized company
The cost of paid IP registration depends on the region, but usually ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles. The state fee for registration of an individual entrepreneur is not included in this amount. Services for making a seal and opening a current account may sometimes not be provided or carried out for an additional fee.
Comparison of independent and paid registration of IP
| Registration method | Advantages | Flaws |
|---|---|---|
| Self-registration of IP |
Useful experience in preparing documents and communicating with government authorities. Saving money on paid services legal companies. |
Possible denial of registration due to errors in the prepared documents. As a result - loss of time and money (800 rubles). BUT, if you follow these instructions and carefully prepare the documents, the risk of failure is reduced to 0. |
| Paid registration of IP through a law firm |
The registrar bears the risk of refusal to register. Preparation, submission and acceptance of documents from the tax service are possible without your participation. |
Additional expenses. Transfer of personal data to third parties. You will be poorly versed in the IP registration procedure. |
2. We select OKVED activity codes
Before preparing documents, you must select from the OKVED directory the codes of the types of activities that you are supposed to be engaged in.
In practice, OKVED codes are usually chosen with a margin. Even if you are not sure whether you will be engaged in this activity or not, then it should still be added to the list. By them you don't have to additionally pay taxes and submit reports, since these factors directly depend only on the chosen taxation system. However, if necessary, you can always add OKVED codes after opening the IP.
Although the law does not establish any restrictions on the maximum number of OKVED codes, it is not recommended to indicate more than 57 of them in an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur (as many are placed on one of its sheets). At the same time, only OKVED codes consisting of at least 4 digits can be indicated in it.
One of the selected codes must be selected as main. In fact, only the right to apply reduced rates when paying insurance premiums for employees depends on it (provided that the individual entrepreneur officially has employees and this species activities will bring at least 70% of the income).
note, it is impossible to conduct activities without indicating the OKVED code, since it can be equated with illegal entrepreneurship.
Free consultation on IP registration
3. We prepare the necessary documents
IP registration application
An application in the form P21001 is the main document required for registration of an individual entrepreneur (download the form). Detailed instructions for filling out, as well as sample applications for 2020, you can see on this page.
Be careful, at the stage of preparing documents, sign the application no need. This will need to be done when submitting documents in the presence of a tax inspector (notary - if you register an individual entrepreneur through a representative).
Most often, registration of an individual entrepreneur is denied precisely because of errors made when filling out an application. In order not to find yourself in a similar situation, we recommend filling out an application through specialized free services.
Receipt for payment of state duty
In 2020, the state duty for registering an individual entrepreneur, as in 2018, is 800 rubles. You can generate a receipt, as well as pay for it via the Internet, using this service on the official website of the Federal Tax Service. There you can also print it in paper form and pay at any convenient branch of Sberbank.
Keep the receipt confirming the payment. You will need it when checking documents at the tax office. In general, you are not obliged to keep it, but not all inspectors of the Federal Tax Service know about this, so it is better to play it safe in such a situation and take the receipt with you.

Instructions for filling out documentation for individual entrepreneurs
Application for registration of IP in the form R21001
The vast majority of refusals are made due to banal errors in filling out P21001: an incorrect word wrap will cause the computer to “reject” the application during verification. The Federal Tax Service has introduced automatic (machine) processing of paperwork submitted to open a business, and this innovation has become an "Achilles heel" for novice businessmen. Not everyone can correctly fill out an application for opening an IP the first time, because the requirements for filling out specially developed by the Federal Tax Service take more than 40 pages.
How to fill in 21001 correctly:
1. Appendix No. 20 to the order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated January 25, 2012 ММВ-7-6/ [email protected] establishes the requirements for completing the application. From the first time, it is not easy to take into account all the rules for spacing and hyphenation, font size and type, to follow the rules for abbreviations of address objects, the rules for aligning letters and numbers, etc., to put it mildly. Formatting is irrelevant, but makes information for the computer: it is important that the machine evaluates the data correctly.
How to simplify the process and protect yourself from mistakes?
- Fill out a sample application. Here you will have to rely on your attentiveness and knowledge of the requirements for the design of forms.
- Use the online service. These are programs with an intuitive interface that “lead” you step by step from sheet to sheet. They already automatically contain the requirement to comply with the formatting: the software will correctly arrange and transfer words, suggest the necessary abbreviations, and will not allow you to make a mistake. The service is also popular on the website of the Federal Tax Service, although, according to user reviews, it is not always available due to resource congestion. It is not difficult to find such sites on the Internet: type in the search engine “online service for registering IP”. We described the experience and result of working in one such free service in the article "".
2. TIN, if available, must be indicated.
3. Indicate the main and additional OKVED codes in sheet A. We select the codes from four digits onwards (for example, 45.20, 45.20.1, etc.). The OKVED-2 classifier is up-to-date, entered into force on July 11, 2017. You can enter as many codes as you like in the form, the number is not limited. Indicate the code of your preferred (main for you) direction in the field "code of the main activity" (for a number of codes you need to submit an application). But remember that .
4. Do not sign P21001 in advance if you bring it to the tax office in person: this is done in the presence of an inspector. If you entrust the delivery of documents to an authorized person, then first certify the power of attorney and your signature on the application by a notary.
5. Blank sheets (for example, page 3 for Russian citizen) are not applied.
6. The completed form is printed on one side of the sheet and only in black.
7. In field 7.1 on page 2 for a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, 21 is indicated. Codes for other documents are contained in Appendix No. 3 to the Order of the Federal Tax Service dated January 25, 2012 No. ММВ-7-6 / [email protected]
8. It is advisable to print sheet B in two copies: some IFTS prefer to give you a sheet in your hands with a note about the acceptance of documents.
9. Until now, different inspections interpret the question of whether applicants need to staple papers in different ways. You can only establish the truth in your tax office, usually it is enough to call the hotline.
For better presentation, how a correctly completed application looks like, we offer you a sample of it.
