Having your own business, even a small one, is an interesting occupation, but at the same time quite difficult for a lay person in the field of accounting and tax accounting. Often, individuals with a small start-up capital are registered as individual entrepreneurs. This form of doing business in Russia is acceptable, but entails certain obligations. Keep afloat immediately after starting your own business and not wallow in fines - this is the task of the first months of activity.
You can cope with difficulties by hiring a specialist, for example, an accountant, contacting a consulting company or try to figure it out on your own. One of the main stages after obtaining an IP certificate is the notification of the start of business.
Who should do this
As mentioned above, all documents, including a notice on the start of entrepreneurial activity, can be filled in and sent by an individual entrepreneur or with the help of any specialists.
However, it should be noted that such a document must be submitted to the supervisor only in case of the actual implementation of the activity that you have chosen as the base and whose code is assigned to you from OKVED.
Division by type of activity
A businessman should know that not everyone is required to fill out a notice form on the start of entrepreneurial activity. Such a document should be drawn up by an individual entrepreneur who is really planning in the very near future to work according to the code that is indicated in the List of Works and Services as a part of certain types. This document was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation as amended on November 12, 2018 No. 584.
After examining the list, the layman can conclude that this form should be submitted to everyone, since there are many business options spelled out. But this is not so. In the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities, enough of these codes are indicated, the form of notification of the beginning of entrepreneurial activity should not be sent.
If your business falls within the approved list, then you need to take care of the design of the above document before you take real steps to generate income, for example, advertise, open a retail outlet, that is, start functioning as an individual entrepreneur.
Here it is necessary to highlight the main areas of entrepreneurship, in which work cannot begin without notifying one or another authority. Conventionally, such a business can be divided into:
- trade;
- production;
- services.
If the code specified upon receipt of the IP certificate is indicated in the document, but you changed your mind about this type of activity or postponed this earnings indefinitely, forget about the supervisory authorities. So far you should not provide them with anything.
What data should be indicated
It is not difficult for any businessman to fill out a model notification on the start of entrepreneurial activity. The document shall indicate the surname, name, patronymic, abbreviated name of the individual entrepreneur, status. Next, write the tax identification number (TIN) and the main state registration number (PSRN). The next line indicates the date of registration of the person in the bodies of the Federal Tax Service.
The form should also contain the legal, postal and actual address of the individual entrepreneur.The main part identifies the type of activity, the beginning of which is notified by the entrepreneur. At the end, the businessman describes that all the resources used comply with the mandatory requirements, puts his signature and seal.
You should be aware that the beginning of work in different directions and codes of OKVED does not bear the obligation to fill out several notifications. It is enough to list in one document all the necessary work that the entrepreneur begins to produce or carry out. But such a rule only applies if the type of activity is controlled by one authority. If the supervisory organizations are different, then the documents must be sent to several addresses at once. Here, it immediately becomes clear that you have to issue two or more notifications.
Punishment for breaking the law
For a better understanding of filling out the form, we present you an example of a notice on the start of business activities.
Examine all the lines, fill out your sample document, send it to the supervisory authority, and you do not have to pay a fine.
In case of violation of the deadlines, reluctance to submit information or improper presentation thereof, sanctions are provided in the amount of three to ten thousand rubles per authorized person.
Where to file information
There are several bodies to which the entrepreneur becomes controlled when starting his own business. Most often, information is submitted to the following authorities:
- Rospotrebnadzor: publishing and printing; trade; area where computer technology is used; production of textiles, shoes, furniture, wood products, food, materials for construction, personal protective equipment; hotel business and catering services; travel agencies.
- Rostransnadzor: transportation of baggage, cargo, passengers by any means of transport.
- Rostekhnadzor: exploitation of hazardous facilities in the manufacturing sector.
- Rosstandart: manufacturing of measuring instruments, standard samples, low-voltage equipment.
- Rostrud: social services.
- Ministry of Emergencies: production of fire products.
- Housing supervision authorities: services related to apartment buildings, their maintenance, maintenance and repair.
- Veterinary authorities: making animal feed.
Receiving rejection
An individual entrepreneur may be denied acceptance of the transmitted information. This is mainly due to non-compliance with the established form of the document or it was sent for other purposes. A businessman must clearly understand who will control him. If he has doubts, then you should consult a specialist, since, as we mentioned earlier, violation of the terms for the submission of information is punishable by penalties.
How to send information
The document can be submitted to supervisory authorities in various ways:
- through the MFC;
- deliver in person;
- send by mail, compiling an inventory;
- through the website of the controlling organization, having certified with a digital signature;
- use the public services portal.
The notification is filled out and transmitted in duplicate, one after verification is sent back to the entrepreneur.
If the submission of information is carried out electronically, then the businessman will receive a response in electronic format.
It should be borne in mind that a change in the address of the activity or the registration of the entrepreneur imposes a repeated notification to the supervisory authority.
Where to find information
In the Russian Federation, a register of notifications of the start of entrepreneurial activity has been formed, which reflects information about all persons who have notified the supervisory authorities about their business. There is a special portal where you can find out information about legal entities that interests us. The page offers a search form.You must select the initial data about the company or individual entrepreneur and get the rest of the information. The registry contains the following data:
- The subject of the Russian Federation.
- Number and date of notification.
- Name.
- BIN.
- Form of incorporation.
- INN
- Address.
- If there are branches, information on them is indicated.
- OKVED codes.
Finally
An individual entrepreneur who is just starting a business should be extremely careful. Penalties in the Russian Federation are quite serious.
Before you start working, you should register with the tax authorities and submit information in the form of a notice of the start of your business.
Also, a businessman should know that when changing any data or closing a business, it is necessary to notify supervisory authorities without fail. In the event of liquidation or reorganization, the period to be observed in order not to be punished is ten days.
You should pay attention to one more significant recommendation from professionals. If a businessman is just starting his business and choosing the OKVED code, then this should be done according to the new list, since in 2018 some changes were made. An entrepreneur who has been working for a long time may not think about it. Its code was automatically changed appropriately by the Federal Tax Service.
