Siluanov proposed to introduce a moratorium on checking self -employed

The Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov advocated a moratorium on checking self -employed citizens with regulatory authorities. In his opinion, this will contribute to the legalization of self -employed, RIA Novosti reports. The head of the Ministry of Finance stated this at the board of the Ministry of Finance of Tatarstan, the Department of the Federal Tax Service and the Federal Treasury in Tatarstan.

“Today he (self -employed) works outside the legal field, and he does not have such a problem that Rospotrebnadzor will come to him. Therefore, it seems to me that in order to give the opportunity to legalize and the opportunity to maintain the same level of work, status ... those checks that are today should not extend to such business,” Siluanov said.

The minister emphasized that we are not talking about cases that threaten people's life and health. Siluanov also noted that for self -employed, it is necessary to create conditions for easy registration of activities, and they should not have problems with tax services and reporting.

Recall that the State Duma on November 15 adopted in final reading a package of laws on self -employed citizens, on November 28 it was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The experiment is introduced from January 1, 2019 in four regions of the Russian Federation - Moscow, Moscow and Kaluga regions, Tatarstan. In case of success, it will be distributed to the whole country, it will last until December 31, 2028.

Self -employed refers to citizens who do not have an employer and employees, but providing services or create a certain product, the income from which is not more than 2.4 million rubles a year, that is, not more than 200 thousand rubles a month. The self -employed include, for example, tutors, nannies, guides, stylists and masters of nail service working at home.

The law suggests that from January 1, 2019, citizens will pay for 4% of income tax. If the customers of the self -employed are a legal entity or individual entrepreneurs, the tax rate will be 6%. Registered self -employed are exempted from paying tax on individuals (personal income tax) and VAT, with the exception of the situation when importing goods into the territory of the Russian Federation.

In the first year of the experiment, fines for non -payment of tax will not be charged. Then, a fine of 20% of the amount for which the check was not set (but not less than 1000 rubles) was not recovered from the tax regime violators for the first time. In the case of a repeated violation, 100% income will be taken away, which was not officially taken into account.
