As is known, individual entrepreneurs, when registering with the state, must indicate their home address or, in legal terms, the address of registration at their permanent place of residence, noted in their passport. It is believed that without this address, tax authorities may refuse to register a citizen as an individual entrepreneur. But, as practice shows, this is not entirely true. Let's start in order.

Registration of individual entrepreneurs at the place of residence: legal requirements

As the law states, any citizen of the Russian Federation can register only in the locality where he has permanent residence. To do this, you must submit to the territorial tax authority, which includes: a passport with a completed page about registration at the place permanent residence, TIN, original.

You can register in several ways:

  1. personally at the tax office;
  2. through a proxy. A citizen representing the interests of a future individual entrepreneur, in addition to the main package of documents, must provide the tax specialist with a power of attorney certified by a notary;
  3. send documents through the Internet;
  4. send documents for registration via Russian Post.

If there is no local registration

Since individual entrepreneurs do not have the right to open structural units, representative offices and branches, they are simply required to be present at the place of actual business. At the same time, the above-mentioned place of activity does not necessarily have to be tied to the territorial center in which the individual entrepreneur was registered with the state tax register - it can be any point on the map of Russia. However, in any case, regardless of the district in which the individual entrepreneur conducts his business, he must submit reports to the tax office where he was originally registered.

The law separately stipulates cases when a citizen can register as an individual entrepreneur in districts and regions far from his place of registration: This is possible by:

  • location of the organization;
  • place of business;
  • place of actual residence.

Attention! If an individual entrepreneur is registered in a specific region, but develops his business and moves to other regions of the Russian Federation, he is not required to register for tax purposes every time. He must send all reporting documentation to the place of primary registration as an individual entrepreneur.

It is worth noting that if doing business not in the administrative district at the place of registration, but in some other region of the Russian Federation, the individual entrepreneur faces certain difficulties. This is due to the fact that, by law, every citizen staying anywhere in Russia for more than a week is required to register at the place of stay within seven days. However, since this is too short a period of time, this requirement is not always met. However, if an individual entrepreneur intends to settle in another administrative district seriously and for a long time and develop his business there, it will be absolutely necessary to do this.

Important! When moving from one region to another, there is no need to re-register the individual entrepreneur with state tax registration. However, you must register at your new place of residence and, by contacting the Federal Tax Service, make the appropriate changes to the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.

Registration at the place of actual residence

The law takes into account cases when the future individual entrepreneur is not registered in the region where he plans to conduct his activities. In this case, two scenarios are possible:

  1. the citizen does not have any mark at all in his passport to register his place of residence. This happens if the passport was issued not at the place of residence, but in another administrative district;
  2. The passport contains a stamp stating that the person has been deregistered, but there is no information about registration at the new place of residence.

In both of these situations, you need to obtain a certificate of temporary registration at your place of residence from the territorial registration authorities and, on the basis of it, it is quite legal to register as an individual entrepreneur. No other additional papers, except for the standard package of documents and a certificate of temporary registration, there is no need to submit to the tax office.

Important! Temporary registration must be issued for a period of at least 6 months. Otherwise, the tax service may refuse to register as an individual entrepreneur.

For your information. When registering an individual entrepreneur at the place of temporary registration, you need to be prepared for a more careful and meticulous examination of documents by tax authorities. The reason is that such a scheme is sometimes used by criminals who seek to register a fictitious individual entrepreneur to conduct illegal operations.

Registration at the place of actual business conduct: UTII

The main feature of registering an individual entrepreneur not at the place of registration appears when the entrepreneur chooses his main taxation system. The fact is that if under other tax regimes an individual entrepreneur can freely conduct his activities in any region of the Russian Federation, then with UTII the story is completely different.

This type of tax regime involves the collection of taxes from certain types of activities. Moreover, each region determines the types of activities falling under UTII independently, at its own discretion. Therefore, if a citizen has already registered with the state in some administrative district and started working under the UTII system, but decided to change the region of residence or business, without changing the tax regime, he will have to re-register. What does it mean?

This means that he will need to submit an application to the tax authority in the territory where he is doing business and register as a UTII payer - then he can develop his business here and use “imputation”. There is no need to close the individual entrepreneur at the place of initial tax registration, however, all reporting will have to be submitted to the tax office where the individual entrepreneur was later registered as a UTII payer.

Important! Before deciding to change your place of residence and business, you need to make sure that the areas of activity in which an individual entrepreneur is engaged are subject to UTII in the region where he is going to move.

Exceptions for registering an individual entrepreneur not at the place of registration

An individual entrepreneur who is on UTII does not have the right to register with the state in administrative districts other than his official place of residence if he plans to engage in:

  • retail distribution trade;
  • transportation of goods;
  • passenger transportation;
  • advertising on vehicles.

That is, in cases where an individual entrepreneur plans to conduct business in these areas, the place of actual business conduct must necessarily coincide with the place of initial registration of the individual entrepreneur with state tax registration.

To summarize, we can say that individual entrepreneurs are required to register for tax purposes in those areas where they have permanent residence registration. However, in some cases exceptions are possible, for example, a citizen has every right to register as an individual entrepreneur and at his actual place of residence, i.e. according to temporary registration, again, although this practice is legal, it is not particularly widespread and is not welcomed by the tax authorities. In addition, an individual entrepreneur can be re-registered at a place other than his place of registration if he is engaged in activities that fall under UTII in a region of the Russian Federation other than where he was initially registered for tax purposes, but in another. In this case, there is no need to change the address of your official place of residence; it is enough to register with the new territorial Federal Tax Service as a UTII payer.

The state fee for registering 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 may require an additional fee.

2. We select OKVED activity codes

Before preparing documents, you need to select codes for the types of activities that you are expected to engage in from the OKVED directory.

On practice OKVED codes It is customary to choose with reserve. Even if you are not exactly sure whether you will engage in this activity or not, it should still be included in the list. According to them you won'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 an individual entrepreneur.

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 the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur (that much can be placed on one sheet). At the same time, you can only indicate OKVED codes consisting of at least 4 digits.

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 type activities will generate at least 70% of income).

note, you cannot conduct business without indicating the OKVED code, as it may be equated to illegal entrepreneurship.

There you can print it out in paper form and pay at any convenient Sberbank branch.

Keep your receipt confirming 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 in such a situation to play it safe and take the receipt with you.

Application for transition to simplified tax system

It is very important to choose the correct taxation system, since the amount of taxes paid and the number of reports submitted will depend on it.

Most beginning entrepreneurs are recommended to use the simplified taxation system (STS), since it can be used to engage in almost all types of activities, and it is the easiest to understand and profitable to use.

5. Submit documents to the tax office

The collected documents must be submitted to the registering Federal Tax Service at the place of residence of the individual entrepreneur or at the temporary registration address if the entrepreneur does not have permanent registration. You can find out the address and contact information of your tax office using this service.

  1. Submit a set of documents to the Federal Tax Service officer.
  2. In the presence of an employee, sign the application for registration of individual entrepreneurs.
  3. Receive a receipt confirming the delivery of documents (with a signature, seal and the date when you need to come for the completed documents of the individual entrepreneur).
  4. Take one copy of the notice of transition to the simplified tax system with the date, signature and seal of an employee of the Federal Tax Service (it may be required to confirm your transition to the simplified tax system).

For filing papers through a representative or sending by mail it is necessary to certify and submit an application in form P21001 and a copy of all pages of the passport from a notary. Additionally, the representative must make a notarized power of attorney. When sending documents by mail, they must be sent by a valuable letter with a list of the contents and a notification to the address of the Federal Tax Service.

6. We receive documents of a registered individual entrepreneur

On the date indicated by the inspector, you need to come to the tax office yourself to get ready-made documents (in 2019, the period for registering an individual entrepreneur should not exceed 3 working days). You must have your passport and receipt with you. The representative will additionally need a power of attorney.

Note: if you cannot come to pick up the documents on the specified day, they will be sent by mail.

If registration is successful, the inspector must issue you:

  1. USRIP record sheet (with OGRNIP number).
  2. TIN certificate (if you didn’t have a TIN before).

Some Federal Tax Service Inspectors may additionally immediately issue:

  • Notification of registration with the Pension Fund of Russia ( Pension Fund);
  • Notification of assignment of statistics codes (from Rosstat).

Necessarily check the information in the received documents. If you find errors, immediately contact the employee who gave you the papers to draw up a protocol of disagreements. If errors were made due to the fault of the registering tax office, they must correct them promptly and free of charge.

note, from January 1, 2017, the Federal Tax Service stopped issuing a certificate of registration of individual entrepreneurs in paper form. Instead, the tax office now draws up a Unified State Register of Entry Sheets in form No. P60009, which has the same legal force, as well as the previously issued state registration certificate.

Note: if you plan to officially hire employees, then you no longer need to register with the Pension Fund as an employer. From January 1, 2017, the application procedure for registration has been canceled for individual entrepreneurs. Registration and deregistration with the Pension Fund of Russia can be carried out on the basis of information contained in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs and the Unified State Register of Entrepreneurs and it is not at all necessary to submit additional documents (letter dated January 31, 2017 No. BS-4-11/1628@).

To register with the Social Insurance Fund, an individual entrepreneur must submit an application for registration as an employer no later than 30 calendar days from the date of hiring the first employee.

Is it possible to open an individual entrepreneur with temporary registration in 2019, when, according to Federal Law No. 129-FZ, a potential entrepreneur must provide his registration address?

An individual entrepreneur is a business entity who has the right to conduct business and is obliged to pay taxes and fees in accordance with the requirements of the law.

In the Russian Federation, any able-bodied person with any citizenship is allowed to register as an individual entrepreneur.

It is possible to open an individual entrepreneur even if you have a valid employment contract with the employer. This is practical, since a newly created business will not start working immediately, and it would be appropriate to have an additional source of income. The exceptions are civil servants and military personnel; they cannot combine work and entrepreneurial activity.

A registered entrepreneur has the right:

  • receive income on the territory of the Russian Federation from legal activities;
  • distribute advertising of your goods and services;
  • cooperate with other business entities;
  • in some cases, the right to a reduction in taxes;
  • insurance period (in the event that the individual entrepreneur is not a part-time entrepreneur).

Having received registration, an individual entrepreneur acquires a number of responsibilities:

  • submit reports on time;
  • pay fees (even in the absence of activity);
  • pay taxes according to the chosen taxation regime.

At first glance, there are not many responsibilities, but they should never be forgotten, given the fact that failure to comply with responsibilities soon leads to negative consequences.

As a rule, individual entrepreneurs are registered at the place of residence or registration. This procedure makes it possible for government agencies to communicate with the entrepreneur if any questions arise.

But what should people without permanent residence do? Is it possible to register as an individual entrepreneur using temporary registration?

When planning to start your own business, the question may arise: is it possible to open an individual entrepreneur in another city without a residence permit, but with temporary registration?

Temporary registration is the right of a person to reside in any residential premises for a specific period of time. Such registration is required when an individual intends to reside in another region for more than 90 days. Temporary registration allows you to use medical care, identify the child in educational institution, enjoy social assistance and start a business activity. Without registration, it is impossible to open an individual entrepreneur.

But how to open an individual entrepreneur if you have temporary registration and are registered in another city? When the passport has a registration stamp, temporary registration is not valid. There are no options here - to open an individual entrepreneur you need to submit documents to the tax department at your permanent place of residence.

There is no need to go there yourself; you can send documents to the Federal Tax Service in the following ways:

  1. Through a representative with a power of attorney and a notarized statement.
  2. Send by mail with a description of the attachment, with a statement certified by a notary.
  3. In the city of residence, obtain, with the help of special companies that have the right to do so. Send documents in electronic form, certified by digital signature.

Having registered in any locality in Russia, having issued the simplified tax system, OSNO or unified agricultural tax, an individual entrepreneur has the right to carry out his business practice throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation.

If it is very important to obtain registration of an individual entrepreneur in the region of temporary residence, then you need to be discharged from your place of residence.

It is important to note that if the period of temporary registration of an individual is less than six months, then there is a possibility of being refused registration at the temporary place of residence.

The maximum period of temporary registration is 3 years. The legislation provides for the possibility of extending the period after its expiration. An individual entrepreneur will be able to carry out activities only during the period of temporary registration.

Registration of an individual entrepreneur using temporary registration is carried out in the same way as registration with a residence permit. But, there are several nuances that need to be taken into account. Any citizen can cope with opening an individual entrepreneur, without the help of lawyers.

Before submitting documents to open an individual entrepreneur, you need to clearly define the types of activities and establish OKVED codes. All-Russian classifier types of economic activity (OKVED) is a directory in which each type of activity has its own code. Codes must be selected only from the classifier valid at the time of submission of documents. If you specify wrong codes, the tax authorities will refuse to register an individual entrepreneur. In application R21001, you must indicate four-digit OKVED codes.

The choice of activity codes is not limited. You can even indicate those types of activities that you plan to introduce in a year or three, or you won’t have to use them at all. If you forgot to indicate any required code in the P21001 application, then you can simply submit the P24001 application indicating the codes.

The next stage is to choose the optimal taxation system. This issue must be approached with scrupulousness, since the result of all activities depends on this. Today there are five tax regimes, the amount of taxes payable on them for the same activity can differ dramatically. For help in choosing, it is advisable to contact the Federal Tax Service itself; a tax inspector must provide detailed information on each type of tax regime, and about the conditions for transition to it. You can consult a good specialist: a financier or an accountant. There is also a lot of information on this topic on the Internet; some sites offer online consultations.

To open an individual entrepreneur with temporary registration, you need to have documentary evidence of it.

To do this, the homeowner must provide the following documents to the tax service:

  • passport without registration stamp;
  • passport of the owner of the living space;
  • application from the property owner (the form can be obtained directly from the tax office).

Registration of temporary registration is a free government service; no funds need to be transferred anywhere.

For the convenience of making settlements with counterparties, as well as for making payments to the budget, it is wise to open a bank account. You can choose a bank at your own discretion, in any region of Russia. A current account will come in very handy when business partners are located at a great distance and making cash payments is problematic.

Before opening an individual entrepreneur, you should think about having a seal. This will secure the business a little, and some entrepreneurs are more willing to cooperate with individual entrepreneurs whose documents are certified with a seal.

To the tax service or to the multifunctional center for the provision of state and municipal services(MFC) you need to provide the following list of documents:

  1. Passport without a registration stamp (a copy certified by a notary is also suitable).
  2. Certificate of temporary registration, which does not expire earlier than six months from the date of submission of documents.
  3. A receipt for payment of the state duty (in 2019 the duty is 800 rubles). The receipt must indicate the name of the person who wishes to open an individual entrepreneur.
  4. Application in form P21001, indicating the address of temporary registration. An incorrectly completed application gives the tax service the right not to register an individual entrepreneur, and the paid state duty is not refunded.
  5. Original and copy of individual tax number.
  6. Application for the selected taxation regime.

Three working days after submitting the documents, the tax service will issue an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.

In the case where registration was carried out through the MFC, an extract from ERGIP will be issued after seven working days at the same MFC. Since the center does not serve as a registrar, but only as an intermediary, the registration process takes longer.

You can obtain individual entrepreneur status using other methods, albeit paid ones:

There is no need to register with the Pension Fund, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the Social Insurance Fund if there are no hired workers. The tax service itself transmits all the necessary information to the funds. An individual entrepreneur with hired employees must independently register with the Social Insurance Fund.

Law No. 115-FZ “On the legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation” explains that citizens of other countries legally living in Russia and citizens of the Russian Federation have the same rights, as well as the same opportunity to carry out business activities.

To open an individual entrepreneur in Russia, a foreigner must, first of all, obtain a residence permit or temporary registration. You need to get a work permit. Persons arriving from countries from which a visa is not required for entry must obtain a patent. Persons from “visa” countries need to obtain a work permit.

A package of documents must be submitted to the tax service:

  1. Statement.
  2. Copies of documents confirming identity, date and deposit.
  3. A copy of the residence permit.
  4. Documents confirming the foreigner’s residential address.
  5. Receipt of payment of the duty.
  6. Refugee ID (if available).

The application is submitted in Russian. The documents of a foreign citizen are translated into Russian and certified by a notary. Along with copies, you must provide original documents to the tax office. The originals are needed solely for verification; the tax office will not take them.

A temporary residence permit is issued for three years. The exception is citizens of Belarus; they have the right to immediately apply for a residence permit.

Documents can be submitted by a foreigner in person, by a written letter via mail or with the help of a representative. If all is well, you can receive individual entrepreneur registration in five working days.

Then, the newly created individual entrepreneur needs to select the type of taxation, if necessary, open a current account and make a stamp.

When registering temporarily, foreign citizens are required to register with the internal affairs bodies every year.

If you don't do this, you may be deported. Maximum term validity of individual entrepreneur status - the time of legal stay of a foreign citizen on the territory of Russia.

Is it possible to open an individual entrepreneur not at the place of registration? This question worries many novice entrepreneurs who do not live where they are officially registered.

What address should an individual entrepreneur indicate in registration documents?

The legislation that regulates the procedure for registering entrepreneurs gives a clear answer to the question of whether it is possible to open an individual entrepreneur without registration. No, registration of an individual entrepreneur must be carried out only at his official place of residence indicated in the passport. At the same time, Federal Law 129 provides for some loopholes that allow you to register an individual entrepreneur not at the place of registration.

Why is the tax service so critical about the location of opening an individual entrepreneur? This is due to its special legal status. Businessman stays an individual in the process of doing business and does not have its own legal address, as a company.

If an entrepreneur does not contact official representatives of regulatory organizations, then all legally significant notifications and requests will be sent to his registered address.

At the same time, an individual entrepreneur will be able to conduct business in any Russian region, not necessarily by registration. But he will have to report and remit taxes in the locality indicated in the passport in the place of residence section.

This rule is relevant for those individual entrepreneurs who choose the simplified tax system or common system taxation. If there are employees, reporting to extra-budgetary funds is also submitted to the place of official registration of the individual entrepreneur.

The only exception is provided for individual entrepreneurs who decide to switch to UTII (except for those engaged in cargo transportation, distribution trade and other types of activities without a clear regional link). They will need to register, report and pay taxes at the place of actual business (location point of sale or cafe, etc.).

In the patent taxation system, reporting is not submitted. A patent is acquired in each region in which the entrepreneur plans to do business.

Therefore, entrepreneurs on UTII and PSN only need to go to their hometown to open a business, and then engage in activities in any region. By the way, it is not at all necessary to go to the tax office in person.

Registration of individual entrepreneurs not at the place of registration: ways to solve the problem

Opening an individual entrepreneur not at the place of registration is possible only in one case - the entrepreneur does not have a permanent registration address. This fact will need to be documented by a photocopy of your passport.

The list of required documents for opening the status of an entrepreneur will also include an act confirming the place of residence of the businessman.

When opening a business at the place of temporary registration, its validity period must be at least six months.
