How to open an IP in Moscow yourself: step-by-step instruction

An individual entrepreneur (IP) is a private individual registered in the relevant bodies who is authorized to engage in entrepreneurial activities without an establishment, creation of an LLC, a PAO or other legal entity. The main difference of "IP-shnika" from, for example, the only founder of the LLC (and companies with a similar composition in the Russian Federation about 75%) is that it is responsible for all obligations assumed by its entire property. Except, of course, the one on which the law can not impose a penalty. The same LLC risks only the values and property contained on the balance sheet of the company. But if you, having weighed all the risks, nevertheless decided to open the IP in Moscow independently, we will try to help you as much as possible by describing in detail the entire plan of your actions.

Step 1: select the registration option

If you hitherto believed that you can register yourself as an IP only on your own, then you know: in 2017 this is not the only option. You can open an IP in Moscow in two ways:

1. Self-registration . You prepare the documents yourself and go to all instances - the process is simple, but takes a lot of time. In addition, you can get a bonus experience of interaction with tax authorities.
2. Registration through a specialized firm . The main disadvantage: this option is paid. But in return you get a lot of saved time and nerves, detailed advice - the Federal Tax Service you do not need to even visit.

To finally decide whether it's worth it to open an IP in Moscow yourself, or it's better to turn to specialists, read this table-analysis.

If you chose a separate path, then it's time to move on to the next point.

Step 2: choose your name

Of course, the choice of an effective, interesting, relevant activity of the name is the prerogative of legal entities. Individual entrepreneurs who have established their business even in the repair niche, even in the beauty industry, even in art, will be called in official documents monotonously and dryly - IP V. Ivanov, IP GG Alekseeva, etc.

The only way out is to register a service mark (for services) or a trademark (for goods) with that name that you like. It is also possible to open an IP in Moscow using the commercial designation - the bar "U Boris", the workshop "We'll fix it," etc. It is not necessary to register it.

Step 3: Select the location of registration

The IP registration address is the place of registration of the future entrepreneur. Therefore, the question is pertinent: "How to open an IP without a residence permit in Moscow?" This can be done if you have a stamp on temporary registration in the capital. But only in one case - you do not have a permanent residence permit in another region. And if you are the owner of both a temporary and a permanent registration, then the only way out is to register the IP not in Moscow, but in the home region.

If you are registered in the capital and want to open an IP in Moscow "turnkey" (from scratch), but you do not have the opportunity to come to this city, then at your service companies that offer this procedure remotely through the system of remote online registration of IP . To do this, you must have a valid electronic digital signature.

Step 4: selection of OKVED code

Based on what you want to do in your future entrepreneurial activity, you need to select the appropriate codes from the OKVED classifier freely available on the Web. Although there are no restrictions on the number of these ciphers, experienced entrepreneurs do not recommend indicating too much. But it should be remembered that if you deal with a case that was not characterized by the figures of OKVED, then it will be considered illegal activity for which the legislation threatens with punishment.

To open an IP in Moscow, you do not need to immediately specify all the codes based on even the most illusive plans - they can easily be added in the future, just before you are going to do a specific job. One of the ciphers you specify must be selected as the master. Be careful! The code contains at least 4 symbols.

Step 5: Completing the application for registration of the IP

If you want to urgently open an IP in Moscow, then carefully consider this point - most refusals in registration occur due to incorrect filling in of the application. You will need to prepare a document form P21001 - its form you can freely download on the official website of the Federal Tax Service.

You can fill out the application on hand, on the PC, and with the help of the FNS service, and with the assistance of third-party organizations providing the necessary software for this (naturally, for a fee). We recommend that you still use the electronic method of data entry - it is much easier to correct errors. Do not sign the printed completed document at this stage! This should be done later - in the presence of the tax inspector.

General rules of filling:

1. Records are made only in capital letters. In the electronic version, be sure to set the following settings for entering data: font Courier New, height - item 18.
2. All the information from the passport is exactly the same, the letter in the letter - as written in this document.
3. The INN is written only if you have such a number.
4. Sheet No. 3 is not filled for Russian citizens.
5. You do not need to staple the document.
6. Carefully use abbreviations for address objects - only those that are prescribed in the official instruction are allowed (see Appendix to document No. 2).
7. Do not write in the cells of the hyphenation signs - if the word does not fit on the line, just start writing uncompleted letters on the new line from the first cell.
8. For all other words, the entry in the line begins strictly from the second cell!
9. If you put a point in the cage, be sure to leave the cell following it empty.

To open a turnkey IP in Moscow, it is necessary in accordance with these rules to fill out the form P21001. We will deal with it in detail.

The most difficult point behind - go further.

Step 6: payment of state fee

We have already figured out where to open the IP in Moscow - to the FTS inspectorate at the place of its temporary or permanent registration (we will discuss this in more detail below). As for the payment of the state fee, the choice of options will be richer:

• Without leaving your home - using the online service on the site of the Federal Tax Service.
• In any branch of the Savings Bank. To do this, you need to go to the tax service website, find and print a blank receipt, by hand fill it. The details of your branch of the Federal Tax Service you can find out both on this electronic resource and directly by contacting the tax office.
• Through paid services-assistants who will form and prepare and a receipt, and a number of other necessary documents.

Step 7: choice of the taxation regime

If you decide to open an IP in Moscow, then you need to choose for yourself one of the current taxation regimes in Russia:

• Common system - FREEDOM;
• Unified taxation on imputed income - UTII;
• Single agricultural tax - ESKH;
• Simplified taxation system - USN;
• Patent system - SPE, is available only for IP.

Each of them has its own number of advantages and disadvantages, which varies significantly from a number of individual indicators: the direction of your business, the size of the premises occupied, the number of employees, and the level of income. Most beginners "IP-shnikov" traditionally stop at "simplified" - USN, because it is objectively more simple, profitable and allows a wide variety of activities. But still, we recommend that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with all tax regimes before opening a turnkey IP in Moscow.

If you hesitate in choosing, then such a statement can be submitted and 30 days after registering yourself as an individual entrepreneur.

Step 8: Problem with TIN

We have almost figured out how to open an IP in Moscow on our own. A step-by-step instruction, among other things, assumes that you have an individual tax number. If you do not have such a document, you must file an application for its creation with the form P21001.

We draw your attention to the fact that not all IFNS require the filing of such an application - somewhere you will start to make out the TIN automatically, based on the data specified in the application for registration of the IP.

Step 9: Collect and verify the documentation package

So, what is needed to open an IP in Moscow:

• Application form P21001 - 1 piece;
• A receipt confirming the payment of the fee - 1 piece;
• Your passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or of another country;
• Photocopy of the identity document - all pages;
• Application for transfer to a certain tax regime - 3 pcs .;
• Photocopy of TIN (optional).

For foreigners and stateless persons, a copy of the temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation is required and a notarized translation of the passport. And if you can not file the package personally, then at this stage you need to issue a power of attorney to the person who will be dealing with this matter. Naturally, when visiting a tax this citizen must provide a document drawn up by a lawyer.

Step 10: submission of documents

To begin with, you need to find the body of the Federal Tax Service, which deals with the affairs of citizens at your place of permanent or temporary residence. This information is easily obtained through the same tax service website . And here where independently to open ИП in Moscow? In the capital, this is handled by a specialized inspection of the Federal Tax Service No 46, which is located at: 3/3 Pochodny proezd, building 2.

The plan of action for those who submit their package of documents in person:

1. Pass the documents to the inspector.
2. Sign with him in his form P21001.
3. Take the receipt from the employee, which confirms the transfer of documents. In it you will see the date when you need to return to the office for the finished documents.
4. Ask for one copy of the notice of your transition to a certain taxation regime.

Also you can file the documentation through the electronic service of the Federal Tax Service (no signatures are required) or a valuable letter to your tax office address. In the latter case, make sure to make a list of enclosed securities and issue a notice of delivery. When choosing a delivery with the help of the Post of Russia or a representative, it is required to flash a passport and an application for the registration of an IP in the notary's office of a photocopy!

Stage 11, final: the receipt of a package of documents

In the period specified in the receipt (as a rule, your tax documents will not be processed for more than 3 working days), you will need to return to the FTS office again. Do not forget to bring your passport and the receipt; Your representative should also take a power of attorney. If it is difficult for you to pay a visit, the tax will send you the documents by mail - do not forget to note this option when filling in P21001.

The FTS is obliged to provide to you:

• The list of the Single State Register of IP forms No. P60009, which includes the OGRNI number;
• A document showing the tax registration as an IP for you;
• TIN, if you did not have it before.

In addition, you may receive a notice from the Federal State Statistics Service about the assignment of a certain statistics code and a notice of registration in the pension fund.

Is it possible to open an IP in Moscow independently? Of course, this can easily be done from the first time, following the instructions above. Other option - all these actions on a commercial basis can be done for you by intermediaries.
