This signature is visualized when printed, is equivalent to a handwritten signature of a tax official and has legal force, as stated in the text of the certificate itself.

Citizens are often faced with the need to obtain a so-called extract from the State Register from the tax office. For example, when applying for employment, in some cases an individual is required to provide an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (certificate) stating that he is not an individual entrepreneur.

Since August 18 last year, in order to receive a paper extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, you will have to pay 200 rubles. And then no later than 5 days later, the tax authority will provide this information on paper. If you need to obtain information from the State Register urgently, then you will have to pay 400 rubles, and the extract will be presented to you the next day.

Meanwhile, an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (certificate) stating that you are not an individual entrepreneur can be obtained free of charge and without visiting the tax authority. To do this, you must use the online service of the Federal Tax Service of Russia “Presentation of information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs about a specific legal entity/individual entrepreneur in the form of an electronic document", which is posted on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia (www.nalog.ru), in the section “Electronic services” .

To obtain a certificate, you must complete the following sequence of actions.

1. On the main page of the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia (www.nalog.ru) find the entry point to the “Electronic services” section. It is a small orange rectangle with the inscription “All services”.

2. On the page that opens in the “Electronic Services” section, find the service you need “Presentation of information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs about a specific legal entity/individual entrepreneur in the form of an electronic document” and go to it.

Such a certificate is valid for presentation to any institution of the Russian Federation.

Thus, you have the opportunity to receive the certificate you need free of charge, within 24 hours and without visiting the tax office.

Tax service specialists spoke about how to do this (letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated October 21, 2015 No. ГД-4-14/18418@ " "). Thus, you can send an application to the tax office, drawn up in free form, in any convenient way - by registered mail with notification or through the online service “Contact the Federal Tax Service of Russia”. Information that a citizen is not an individual entrepreneur is often necessary when entering the public service, although as a general rule such a document is not required to conclude a service contract (Part 2, Article 26 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 No. 79-FZ " ").

The response from the tax inspectorate, received by letter or electronically (depending on the method of receipt chosen by the citizen), will contain information about whether he has the status of an individual entrepreneur or not. At the same time, tax officials note that a citizen also has the right to receive a certificate with the requested information. To obtain it, you will need to make a personal visit to the tax office and pay a state fee of 200 rubles. The maximum period for issuing a certificate in both cases is five calendar days. And if the applicant wishes to receive this information urgently (no later than the business day following the day the request was received), the amount of the fee will be doubled ().

USEFUL TOOLS

Let us remind you that the provision of information from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs about a specific entrepreneur on paper is carried out for a fee. At the same time, information in electronic form can be obtained free of charge on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia using the service “Providing information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs about a specific legal entity/individual entrepreneur in the form of an electronic document.” (Clause 1, Article 7 of the Federal Law of August 8, 2001 No. 129-FZ ""). However, today, through this service, it is impossible to obtain a certificate in electronic form stating that a citizen is not an individual entrepreneur. Currently, the Federal Tax Service of Russia is considering the implementation of this possibility.

Under certain life circumstances, an individual may need a certificate stating that he is not an individual entrepreneur.

Circumstances may be different, for example:

Employment for the position of civil servant.

(In this case, the citizen is prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation from having his own private business).

Employment for a military position. It is also unacceptable to have your own private business here.

Employment in the police. In this case, the state also prohibits by law having outside income, in particular from business activities. (In case of concealment or provision of a false certificate, criminal prosecution is possible).

Registration of benefits and financial assistance from the state. This paragraph refers to large families, single mothers, guardians and other low-income and weakly protected by the state segments of society.

A certificate stating that an individual in this case means a citizen is not an individual entrepreneur and does not have a private business, proves that the citizen does not conduct a private business and has the right to take advantage of benefits from the state.

To register and receive a certificate of absence of registration as an individual entrepreneur, you need the citizen’s passport, his TIN (individual taxpayer number) and a receipt for payment of the state fee.

At the moment, the amount of state duty is small and amounts to only - 200 rubles.

This certificate is usually issued within one day. If you don’t have time to wait, and you need the certificate as soon as possible, then it is possible to quickly obtain the certificate; for this you will have to pay double the state fee (400 rubles).

In theory, this was supposed to speed up the issuance process, but as practice shows, you will not notice the difference at all and will spend an equal amount of time in queues, since they simply will not let you through, even if you pay double the state fee. But this depends on the region of circulation and the mentality of citizens.

At the moment, you can get a certificate stating that a citizen is not an individual entrepreneur two options.

The first is to come with your passport and your TIN to the territorial authority tax service. Stand in line at the nearest open window and contact a tax employee. Having explained to him why exactly you need a certificate, he will give you a receipt for payment of the state fee.

After payment, which you provide a receipt for payment, in the same window, and only after that, in the order of the general queue, the tax official will begin to issue your certificate. After a few hours you will receive your certificate. The certificate will be signed by the employee who issued the certificate and certified by the seal of the tax authority.

Second option - electronic receipt certificates You don't have to leave home to do this. It is enough to have a computer and Internet access.

With the development of information technology, the state came up with an interesting project for a public services website. It allows you to receive services (certificates, statements, even a replacement passport) without leaving your home. But the biggest advantage of this resource is the absence of queues and fast service.

First you need to go to the government services website at www.gosuslugi.ru, register there. To do this, you will need a passport, SNILS and phone number. When registering, create a complex password and confirm registration with one of the proposed options (by phone number or email address).

Ultimately, you should get to your personal account on the government services website. (I’ll make a reservation in advance that now this is a fairly necessary site that allows you to receive various government services without leaving your home and not without queues).

After registering on the site Gosuslugi Ru you need to go to the “Taxes and Finance” section, then select “Providing information” in the drop-down window, and then click on “Providing information and information available in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs about a specific individual or legal entity and individual entrepreneur.”

There you will be asked pay the state fee on the government services website itself (and with a 25% discount). And in the near future, you will receive an electronic version of a certificate stating that you are not an individual entrepreneur by email and in the “personal messages” section on the government services website.

The certificate will be certified and signed with an electronic signature. There is no difference between a paper version and an electronic document.

From a legal point of view, they have equivalent legal force. And the authority that requested this certificate from you does not have the right to demand any specific version of the certificate (paper or electronic). You provide the option that is more convenient for you.

If you are applying for financial assistance from the state (for example, in the form of a subsidy or allowance) or are employed by the police, you may be asked to provide a certificate stating that you are not an individual entrepreneur. There are several ways to obtain such a certificate.

Certificate of absence of registration as an individual entrepreneur

And it’s okay that this document does not have a seal, since it is signed with an enhanced electronic digital signature, which is equivalent to the original certificate on paper;

IP: reference

If you decide to receive a certificate of absence of registration as an individual entrepreneur on paper, then in addition to the application for issuing an individual entrepreneur certificate, you must attach a receipt for payment of the state fee. Currently, the state duty is 200 rubles. You can find out what details you need to pay the duty on on the tax authority’s website.

The deadline for the tax office to complete your application is five calendar days.

If you applied to the MFC with a statement that you do not have registration as an individual entrepreneur, then you must add another period to five calendar days for transmitting the request to the tax office and then receiving a certificate from the tax individual entrepreneur. Therefore, in this case, the period for providing the service can be up to 6 working days.

An electronic certificate is sent to the email address you provided no later than the next business day, and you can download it again within five days. Then the electronic request should be generated again.

Validity period of the certificate

There are no regulated validity periods for a certificate of non-registration as an individual entrepreneur, received either on paper or in the form of an electronic document.

In practice, the employer or the person who asks to submit such a document independently sets this deadline, for example, that a certificate of lack of registration as an individual entrepreneur must be received later than thirty days.

If there are no requirements for the validity period of the certificate, this means that you can submit the document that you once received earlier.
