Submit an application to open an individual entrepreneur through the Federal Tax Service. Registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs

Is it possible to open an individual entrepreneur via the Internet without leaving home? It is possible, but provided that the application P21001 is certified. Without an electronic signature, full registration of an individual entrepreneur online, after which you will be included in the state register, will not take place.

If you have the opportunity to make yourself a digital signature, we recommend doing so. For users located in Moscow, we can offer the services of our partners, who will register you as an individual entrepreneur in any region of the Russian Federation in three days and with the issuance of an electronic digital signature (a digital signature is included in the cost of the service, after clicking on the button, select the “register individual entrepreneur”):

You can fill out an application on form P21001 yourself and for free, even without an electronic signature. In this article we will tell you how to register an individual entrepreneur via the Internet.

Online methods of registering individual entrepreneurs

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

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

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

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

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

  • the need to pay the state fee in advance;
  • short deadlines for visiting the tax authority.

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

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

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

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

We fill out documents on the 1C-Start portal

Our free document preparation service is designed for users who do not have special knowledge and experience of registration actions. The program significantly reduces the number of errors and inaccuracies when filling out form P21001. A mechanism for simplifying the entry of applicant data, hints in the margins, up-to-date forms, safety and confidentiality of the entered information - all this minimizes the risk of refusal to create an individual entrepreneur.

In addition, each user of the 1C-Start portal can turn to the support service for help or receive free consultations from practicing registrar specialists:

You just need to register in your personal account and follow the system prompts.

It's fast and FOR FREE!

However, more and more individual entrepreneurs are registered every year.

Opening methods via the Internet

Today, to make the “life” of individual entrepreneurs easier, it is possible to register their business using the Internet.

You can do this in two ways:

  • submit the documents required for registration electronically;

    This method is the most difficult. An entrepreneur must have a qualified electronic signature key certificate. To obtain it, you must contact a specialized company.

  • submit the necessary documents online.

    You can submit an application for registration of individual entrepreneurs via the Internet at Federal Tax Service website .

Advantages and disadvantages

Registering an individual entrepreneur online has its advantages and disadvantages.

Benefits include:

  • you only need to visit the tax office 1 time– to receive completed registration documents;
  • the application is filled out automatically on the sending service;

    The applicant only needs to provide their details correctly.

  • Registration of individual entrepreneurs online is carried out within three days;

    But as practice shows, the applicant can receive an invitation to the tax office to receive a certificate the very next day after sending the documents.

  • the entrepreneur does not incur additional costs for notary, postal or courier services.

But this method has its drawbacks, although they are not significant.

This:

  • the method of registering an individual entrepreneur is not completely remote - the applicant is required to personally come to the tax office to receive a registration certificate;
  • period until receipt of the certificate 3 days - this time is given so that the applicant can pick up documents from the tax office.

List of required data

To register remotely as an individual entrepreneur using the Internet online, the future entrepreneur must provide the registration service with his data.

Such data includes:

  • TIN. It must be indicated on the website when filling out the form.

    If the future individual entrepreneur does not have such a document, then it will not be possible to register online, since you must first visit the tax office to obtain such a certificate;

  • passport details from 2nd And 3rd passport pages;
  • OKVED codes for those types of activities that the future individual entrepreneur plans to engage in.

Registration of individual entrepreneurs through the tax website - step-by-step instructions

To register as an individual entrepreneur online, you must follow the procedure:

  • go to the Federal Tax Service website;
  • fill out an application for opening an individual entrepreneur online;
  • remember the application number;
  • download the receipt for payment of the state duty and pay it;

    This can be done at the bank, using online services. The fee is 800 rubles.

  • complete registration and wait to receive an invitation from the tax authorities.

Submitting an application

First of all, you need to visit the official website of the Federal Tax Service. On the website you need to go to the tab “Fill out a new application for state registration of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.”

You must first register on the Federal Tax Service website. If the user has already registered, he can simply log in.

Then you need to fill out the application form.
To do this you need to take the following steps:

  1. fill in all the information about the future entrepreneur:

    1) Indicate his TIN;
    2) Passport data;
    3) A valid email address - notifications from the service will be sent to it;
    4) Enter the numbers from the picture, and then click the “next” button.

  2. The application number will be displayed - you must remember or write it down.

    As soon as this number is assigned, the individual entrepreneur has 3 days to fill out the remaining information and pay the state fee. Otherwise, the application will be cancelled.

  3. Return to the main page of the service, and in the lower right corner you must enter the application number. Next you need to indicate the TIN, enter the numbers from the picture, and click the “next” button.
  4. At this step, you need to double-check that all the specified data is correct. You also need to enter a contact phone number and the exact address of your place of residence according to your passport.

    Registering an individual entrepreneur at the place of temporary registration is strictly prohibited, with the exception of Moscow. You can open an individual entrepreneur in Moscow if you have a temporary residence permit in this city.

  5. Select OKVED codes for future activities and click the “next” button.
  6. Then you need to download the receipt for payment of the state fee or pay it online using payment services.

    It is better to download the receipt and pay it through the bank, then you will have a receipt in your hands, and it is confirmation of payment.

  7. Then you need to enter the number of the paid receipt, and also fill out the fields indicating the date of payment.
  8. Click the “finish” button. After this, the application will be sent to the tax office. All that remains is to wait for an invitation to the tax office to receive a certificate.

Checking status

You can check the status of your application on the main page of the service. In the lower right corner there is a “check status” button. By clicking on it, the applicant can see the status of his application.

If everything is completed correctly, it will be indicated that the application is being processed. If the applicant has not yet filled out all the data, this will also be indicated.

Additional Information

Since the applicant must register on the Federal Tax Service website or undergo authorization, his basic data is saved. Therefore, part of the application is filled out automatically.

But there is information that the future entrepreneur himself must fill out. For example, he himself indicates his date of birth and place of residence.

He must also carefully fill out the OKVED codes. They are arranged in catalog order - from “wider” to “narrower”. Beginning entrepreneurs often make inaccuracies here, indicating only 1 or 2 types of activities that they will engage in.

In the process of “growing” a business, the need to expand arises. We have to make changes to the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.

State duty

For any legal action, including opening an individual entrepreneur, you must pay a state fee. According to, for state registration of individual entrepreneurs you need to pay 800 rubles.

If the individual entrepreneur changes his mind about registering, it is better to cancel the application before paying the fee. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get her back.

You can learn more about how to register an individual entrepreneur using the Gosuslugi portal.

Nuances and timing

When registering an individual entrepreneur, there are some nuances that you need to know. One of the most important nuances is the choice of taxation system. The “volume” of individual entrepreneurs’ accounting, the frequency of paying taxes and submitting reports depends on this.

At the moment, there is 5 preferential tax regimes, 1 main and 1 only for individual entrepreneurs. When registering a legal entity or individual entrepreneur, the general tax regime is selected “automatically”.

Using the general regime, an individual entrepreneur will pay the following taxes:

  • at a profit;
  • on your own property;

Such a tax burden is sometimes overwhelming for a beginning entrepreneur. That is why individual entrepreneurs choose an alternative.

If a future individual entrepreneur wants to apply a special regime, then he must write a statement.

simplified tax system

Simplified taxation is the most common tax regime for individual entrepreneurs. Instead of all taxes, it is necessary to pay only one - a single one, and then once a year, and advance payments must be made throughout the year.

To switch to the simplified tax system, an individual entrepreneur must write an application. This can be done when submitting the main documents for registration, or when picking up the registration certificate.

If in the course of activities it becomes clear that there is a need to apply such a regime, then the application can be written at any time, but the simplified tax system can be applied only from the next calendar year.

UTII

UTII or “imputation” is also a common regime for individual entrepreneurs. According to, you can change the tax regime only from the new calendar year. To do this you need to write an application.

On the official tax website there are 2 services with which you can open an individual entrepreneur online. This phrase sounds quite promising, however, let's not make hasty conclusions and look at these programs in more detail.

Service 1. Submitting an application for individual entrepreneur registration on the tax website

With this service, you can only submit an application for registration online. You will have to prepare all other documents for opening an individual entrepreneur separately and take them in paper form to the territorial Federal Tax Service.

This method can save time and save the entrepreneur from one extra trip to the Federal Tax Service:

  2. After 3 working days (if everything was filled out correctly), bring the rest of the documents in person with your passport.
  3. Some time later, on the same day, you receive ready-made constituent documents of the individual entrepreneur.

But right away be ready to the fact that if at the stage of submitting the application you make any mistakes or your residence address turns out to be complex (for example, it will contain both a building and a structure), then the tax office will refuse to consider the application and you will lose even more time compared to the usual way of registering an individual entrepreneur.

At the same time, you should not expect help from the technical support of the Federal Tax Service, because most of their employees do not really understand how all these online services should work.
