In this article I will tell you how you can quickly, simply, reliably and free of charge register an individual entrepreneur (paying only the state fee - 800 rubles). This is registration of an individual entrepreneur via the Internet using the service of the Federal Tax Service of Russia “Submitting an application for state registration as an individual entrepreneur.” A very simple and convenient service that even a schoolchild can easily understand.

Registration of individual entrepreneurs via the Internet: fast, convenient and free.

It will take you only 10 minutes to enter all the necessary personal data and send an application for individual entrepreneur registration via the Internet to your tax authority at your place of residence. Taking into account the fact that the application for registration of individual entrepreneurs is generated automatically based on the information you provide (passport details, year of birth, full name, place of residence), the likelihood of errors when filling out the form is practically eliminated.

But it should be noted that there is plenty of room for error when the form is filled out manually or on a computer, and registration refusals on such grounds happen quite often.

Thus, until (04/07/2013) you can fill out an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur only with a black pen; if the application is printed on a computer, then the font requirements must be met; corrections, additions and additions to the application are not allowed; You cannot put dashes in empty fields, etc.

When submitting an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur via the Internet, all that is required of you is the correct indication of your data. The program will do the rest for you. Great, really.

There is no need to pay lawyers and other registrars (), no need to spend money on a notary, if you send an application by mail, no need to resort to paid services of various electronic services. None of this is needed. There is a very convenient and simple, and also free, alternative to all this (the state really took care of us).

All you need to do is go to the Federal Tax Service website in the appropriate section, fill out all the required fields, and pay the state fee (you can do this directly on the website).

Registration of individual entrepreneurs via the Internet step by step

Let's look at the steps of such registration.

1. Go to the Federal Tax Service website in the “Electronic Services” section and select the “ ” service. You can watch how to fill out form P21001 correctly in the following video.

2. In the window that opens, you will be asked to go to the left and register an individual entrepreneur or to the right and register a legal entity. Today we are interested in registering an individual entrepreneur, so we go to the left.

3. Next we get to the section "Identification" and fill out all the required sections (full name, date of birth, passport details, email and TIN). Moreover, if, for example, you do not have it at hand, the program can insert it yourself.

4. After filling out the “Identification” section, you go to the “Filling out an application” section, where you indicate the required information (place of residence, OKVED codes for business activities).

5. Selection of OKVED codes. OKVED codes can be selected directly on the website using the program functionality. For example, if you want to open a bar, then select OKVED code 55.40 Bar activities. If you plan to repair shoes, then choose code 52.71. Repair of shoes and other leather goods. If you have any difficulties choosing OKVED, try contacting the following database.

Note! must be indicated according to OKVED2.

Please note that the application must indicate at least 4 digits of the type of activity you have chosen. The number of activities that can be indicated in the application for registration is not limited. You can read more about and in other articles on this site.

Please also note that certain activities require a clear criminal record. When you select OKVED in the specified service, these types of activities will be highlighted. For example, absence of a criminal record is required to carry out activities in preschool education (80.10.1).

6. After filling out this section, you can go to the “Payment of state duty” section. Please note that in this section you will already have access to a payment order generated and filled out using the service (in which all fields will be filled in, including payment details of the tax authority) and an application in form P21001.

If for some reason you do not want to continue registering an individual entrepreneur via the Internet, then you can use these documents to register an individual entrepreneur in the usual manner by submitting an application for registration on paper. You can download a sample application for individual entrepreneur registration using the new form here: .

So, you pay the state fee. This can be done electronically through one of the banks listed in this section. To do this, you will need a mobile banking service and a bank card. If you pay your utility bills via the Internet (for example, I use Sberbank Online), then you already have it.

7. Proceed to the next section “Confirmation of payment”. Indicate the time of payment and the bank's BIC. That's all. After filling out this section, you will receive a message that the application for registration of an individual entrepreneur has been submitted and within 3 days you will be invited to the tax authority to receive documents.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to draw your attention to one point. Despite the automation of the registration process, when you enter only part of the data and the rest of the information is generated by the program, it is not a bad idea to check them. For example, I discovered an error in the information about my place of birth. The program stated in the application for registration the following: 4.2. Place of birth: RUSSIA, ODESSA REGION)))

I had to correct this and indicate Ukraine instead of Russia.

In addition, there is a great opportunity to use free Internet services for registration, with the help of which you can create a package of documents for registering an individual entrepreneur, as well as use other available functions. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them.

And one more bonus. The brochure below, prepared by the Federal Tax Service of Russia, describes step by step how to register an individual entrepreneur, choose a taxation system and resolve other issues for a beginning entrepreneur. At the same time, from 2015 to 2021, tax holidays for start-up entrepreneurs were introduced in the Russian Federation. Who and in what cases can claim them in the next video.

P.S.: after submitting the application for registration, the tax authorities received a notification literally within 1 hour:

"Dear user! During the period from __.__._______ to __.__._____, a person registered as an individual entrepreneur may contact the Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service for the city of P... at the address..... during reception hours Monday-Thursday from 8:30 to 16:00, Friday from 8:30 to 14:30, room 125.

When contacting the tax authority, you must submit: an original and a copy of an identity document, an original and a copy of a document confirming your place of residence (if this information is not contained in your passport), a document confirming payment of the state duty.

If, after registering as an individual entrepreneur, it is intended to apply a simplified taxation system, it is also necessary to submit an application for the transition to a simplified taxation system. After the expiration of the specified period, the application is canceled."

Coffee break: why are the numbers arranged in this order?

Good day, aspiring entrepreneurs! Today I want to expand the list of articles I have written about individual entrepreneur registration and tell you how to register an individual entrepreneur via the Internet.

I get asked this question very often and I decided to find an answer to it (I myself have never registered via the Internet due to the fact that my business was opened 12 years ago).

As it turned out, in fact, an individual entrepreneur can be registered via the Internet, I was able to find this out on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.

IMPORTANT! At the time of writing this article, you can register an individual entrepreneur via the Internet in the following regions:

1. Moscow city;
2. Saint Petersburg;
3. Tula region.

As you can see, the list is quite modest, I am sure that it will increase over time, but that’s how it is for now. If you do not find your region or city in the list, I recommend using the usual instructions for registering an individual entrepreneur:.

State duty for registering individual entrepreneurs via the Internet

To bookmarks

You may have heard that you can apply to open an individual entrepreneur through the Federal Tax Service website. But even in this case, you will still have to come to the tax office with the original documents, or send a person there by proxy. Another option is to use Russian Post. But you and I live in 2017 and we will try to do everything without leaving home (although we will still have to leave once).

As a result, you should end up with a chain like this:

Now you need to install two more root certificates: ca_fns_russia and . You can breathe out - the hardest part is over.

Go to your browser properties and add “https://*nalog.ru” to the trusted zone. I also completely disabled the firewall just in case.

In order to register as an individual entrepreneur, you need to send a package of documents to the tax office, which includes:

Application on form P21001 – 1 copy.

Receipt for payment of state duty - 1 copy.

Copy of identification document (passport) – 1 copy.

If you plan to work under a simplified taxation system, you can, together with these documents, immediately submit a notification to apply the simplified tax system in two copies.

Within 3 working days after receiving the documents, the tax office will register you as an individual entrepreneur or refuse if there are reasons or the documents are filled out with errors. After registration, the inspectorate will issue the newly created individual entrepreneur with a notice of registration of an individual with the tax authority and an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. A certificate of registration of individual entrepreneurs on a tax form has not been issued since 2017.

Methods for sending documents

There are several options:

Personal visit to the tax office. You take the documents to the tax office at your place of registration, and pick up the completed documents there. In this case, your costs will be limited to the state duty of 800 rubles.

Mail. You send the documents to the tax office by registered mail with a list of attachments. The registration package of documents will also be sent to you by mail. Before sending the documents, you will need to have each of them certified by a notary, and this is an additional expense in addition to the state fee.

Sending through a representative. It is not you who submit the documents, but a representative who acts on your behalf under a power of attorney. In this case, application P21001 and a copy of the passport must be certified by a notary. You can collect documents from the tax office yourself or through a representative.

Registration of individual entrepreneurs online. This option is a salvation for those who actually live and plan to conduct business far from their place of permanent registration, which means they cannot appear in person at the tax office.

Registration of individual entrepreneurs online through the Federal Tax Service website

You submit all documents via the Federal Tax Service website electronically, and receive documents from the tax office in the same way. In this case, there is no need to go to the Federal Tax Service in person. But this option is only available to those who have an electronic signature, because... documents must be certified with digital signature when sent. If there is no electronic signature, you must first apply for its registration to a specialized organization and pay for it according to the organization’s tariffs (approximately 1,000 rubles).

In order not to issue his own digital signature, a future individual entrepreneur can contact a notary to certify documents with his digital signature for a fee - notaries have this right. In this case, registration documents will also be sent to the notary in electronic form.

Please note that there are two options on the Federal Tax Service website:

“Submission of electronic documents for state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.” If you have an electronic signature and want open an individual entrepreneur online without a personal visit to the tax office, you need to choose this option. You will need to upload scans of your passport, payment receipts, application P21001, and send them, certified by digital signature.

“Filing an application for state registration of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities.” This option is not IP registration online. So you can only fill out and submit form P21001, that is, declare your intention to register as an individual entrepreneur. But this will not free you from the need to personally appear at the tax office with identification documents. Moreover, before sending such an application through the Federal Tax Service, you will need to pay the state fee at the bank or directly on the Federal Tax Service website. Without this, it will not be possible to submit an application through the Federal Tax Service website.
After submitting your application, you will receive a notification from the registration authority with an invitation to contact the tax authority within 3 days. If you do not appear at the Federal Tax Service within the specified three days, your application will be canceled and you will have to submit a new one.

Filling out an application on form P21001

All requirements for filling out are contained in Appendix No. 20 to Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia No. ММВ-7-6/25@ dated January 25, 2012. You need to adhere to them in order to avoid mistakes and not be denied registration.

If there are many codes and one sheet A is missing, take another one, but do not indicate the code of the main activity again on it. And don’t try to specify as many additional codes as possible “in reserve.” Indicate those that you really plan to do, and you can add new ones at any time.
