The implementation by an individual of entrepreneurial activity without state registration, depending on the circumstances, may be the basis for bringing him to administrative (part 1 of article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)

Do you need an IP office

However, the implementation of illegal economic activity is punishable by law.

Such entrepreneurs face fines or even criminal liability. So, do you need an office for an individual entrepreneur?

Is it possible to rent a room without IP

How to conclude an agreement correctly so that I don’t “be left with a nose”. at the same time, the landlord does not want to pay tax for the premises that he gives away for free, which is generally logical, in general the price of the premises is 5100 rubles. per month. it is not difficult to find a “form” of the Lease Agreement on the Internet, the question is where to drag it after that, to whom how many copies to give, etc.

as a gift from my father, I received a non-residential premises (shop) and rented it to an LLC, not being an individual entrepreneur. They called the tax office, threatened with fines and explained that it was necessary to register an individual entrepreneur, pay VAT and submit reports quarterly, and a friend says that it is possible without an individual entrepreneur , but be sure to pay personal income tax. how to convince the tax authorities, how to argue

However, it is certainly more profitable for you to open an individual entrepreneur and pay 6% on the simplified tax system. But it will be necessary to pay contributions to the Pension Fund of about 23 thousand, but the tax can be reduced by this amount.

Anastasia. Hello, if there is no entry into the island, then I think without a trading floor. You can use PSN. If you have contracts with other individual entrepreneurs, then they are not considered employees, but they cannot replace labor relations.

The process of leasing non-residential premises jur. person or physical face has some nuances and sometimes raises many questions. To carry out the activities of any organization, an appropriate premises is required, which is far from always possible to acquire ownership. That is why it is more expedient to rent the necessary space.

The procedure for leasing non-residential premises by an individual

Is physical required? individuals registration of IP

In the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in Articles 130 and 213, paragraph 1, the right of any individual and legal entity to possess non-residential property is enshrined.

A citizen who is the owner of a particular area, according to the law, is able to own this property, dispose of and use it at his own discretion. This right is noted in Article 209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Leasing non-residential premises is a privilege of any citizen, enshrined in Article 608 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

From the above data, it follows that an individual can exercise his right to dispose of real estate owned by him. At the same time, he is not obliged to become an individual entrepreneur (i.e., open an IP), because Russian legislation does not contain such a condition.

The exception is the conduct of entrepreneurial activities of individuals. person using the rental area. In this case, it is necessary to open an IP.

In what cases is it necessary to obtain the status of an IP

Individuals can engage in entrepreneurial activity only after passing the appropriate registration procedure and obtaining the status of an individual entrepreneur. However, a citizen is not required to become a legal entity (Article 23, Clause 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Entrepreneurial activity is distinguished by several characteristic features:

  • regular receipt of cash proceeds as a result of the use of property (Article 2 Part 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation);
  • keeping records of operations and transactions;
  • maintaining strong relationships with tenants;
  • acquisition of real estate for profit during its sale or in the process of use;
  • regular transactions in a specific period;
  • purchase of several non-residential premises with a similar purpose.

A key factor for the recognition of entrepreneurship is the leasing of physical. The face of real estate is to provide evidence that the ongoing transactions relate to activities with the aim of obtaining a permanent income.

For example, such confirmation may be the signing of a lease for one year or more, multiple transactions with the same legal entities, etc. In this case, the citizen is obliged to register the IP.

Rules for concluding lease agreements

Russian legislation does not have special rules for regulating the transfer of non-residential premises for rent, therefore, when drawing up an agreement, it is necessary to focus on Chapter 34 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which includes general information about rent.

Based on Article 606 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the landlord, who in this case does not apply to legal entities, undertakes to transfer the leased area to the tenant for temporary use or possession after making a certain payment.

The contract itself is drawn up in accordance with Articles 434 Part 2 and 609 Part 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in writing and with the signing of the papers by both participants.

  • terms of use of the facility;
  • amount of rental payments.

  • functional purpose (for example, office, warehouse, etc.);
  • Name;
  • square.

  • additional documentation, if necessary (consent of the spouse, permission from the guardianship authorities, etc.).

Landlord Taxation

Any premises that generate income are subject to taxation. The terms of payment and the procedure for its calculation depend directly on the status of the taxpayer:

  • 6% of the amount of rent under the simplified tax system with additional insurance premiums (for individual entrepreneurs);
  • 13% personal income tax with a one-time payment (for individuals, article 208, paragraph 1, paragraph 4 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

In case of tax evasion, criminal liability or the recovery of an administrative fine follows.

There is no limit on the number of available or leased non-residential premises, which is enshrined in part 2 of article 213 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Features of leasing premises of legal entities. persons

The conclusion of a lease agreement and the regulation of the relations that arose after this takes place with an orientation towards articles of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation from 606 to 670.

The code for the activities of legal entities according to OKVED is indicated 70.20.2. The document must be drawn up exclusively in writing, regardless of the period of time for which the lease of premises is required, if one of the participants has the status of a legal entity (Article 609 Part 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

All contracts must also contain the following data, without which the document will not be recognized as valid:

  • characteristics of the rented premises;
  • details of the participants who entered into the agreement (Articles 432 and 606 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation);
  • amount of rent payments;
  • nuances of using the premises and its repair;

Do you have any questions? Write your question in the form below and get detailed legal advice:

The right to lease property belongs to its owner (Civil Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, a citizen can carry out activities for leasing property as an individual who is not an individual entrepreneur (hereinafter also referred to as an individual entrepreneur), since the law does not contain a requirement to register an individual as an individual entrepreneur as a necessary condition for leasing his property.

Entrepreneurial is an independent activity carried out at one's own risk, aimed at systematically making a profit from the use of property, the sale of goods, the performance of work or the provision of services by persons registered in this capacity in the manner prescribed by law (paragraph three of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Separate cases of the sale of goods, the performance of work, the provision of services by a person not registered as an individual entrepreneur do not constitute an administrative offense under the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, if the quantity of goods, their assortment, the volume of work performed, services rendered and other circumstances do not indicate that that this activity was aimed at systematic profit making (Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2006 N 18 "On some issues that arise with the courts when applying the Special Part", Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of June 30, 2006 N 53-AD06-2) . In dated 08.02.2013 N ED-3-3 / [email protected] The Federal Tax Service of Russia emphasized that the signs of entrepreneurial activity are evaluative in nature, and it is possible to qualify the activity of an individual in leasing their own property in accordance with them only if there is full and comprehensive information about all the circumstances of his activity.

The implementation of entrepreneurial activity may be indicated, for example, by the conclusion of an agreement for a period of more than one tax period (calendar year) or its prolongation for the next period, repeated receipt of income, repeated conclusion of lease agreements with the same legal entity, etc. (See, for example, the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation for Moscow of April 15, 2005 N 18-12 / 3 / 26639, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Volga-Vyatka District of April 28, 2004 N A38-4668-5 / 85-2004). As evidenced by law enforcement practice, when resolving this issue, such factors are taken into account as the focus of the citizen's actions on the systematic receipt of profit, the permanent nature of the activity for renting out property, and the acquisition of property for the purpose of renting it out.

If the subject of the lease agreement is a premises not intended for the residence of citizens; and the owner of the premises regularly receives income from renting it out, there is a risk of recognizing such actions of a citizen as entrepreneurial activity and bringing him to administrative responsibility on the basis of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation with a fine of 500 to 2000 rubles (see also the decisions of the Altai Regional Court dated 20.10. 2011 N 4а-634/2011, Supreme Court of the Republic of Tatarstan dated February 16, 2011 N 7а-138m).

However, the issue of qualifying actions to rent out non-residential premises as an entrepreneurial activity of a citizen can finally be resolved only by a court, taking into account a combination of specific circumstances.
