I have been working as self-employed for the second year. I tell you why

Since October 2019, I am registered as self-employed. He did this even when this form of taxation was available in several regions of the country. Now you can become self-employed in any region. My main activity is technical and advertising services. I do not have hired employees, I work for myself - as they say, why pay more taxes if you can pay less? After all, the rate of NPD (tax on professional tax) is low: only 4% when working with individuals and 6% - with legal entities.

I will briefly talk about this form of taxation. It will take 10 minutes of time and internet to register as a self-employed. You don't need to go to the tax office. I registered through the My Tax website, but in general it can be done even through SberBank Online - everything is simple there.

I pay taxes once a month on my smartphone. The amount of charges is calculated automatically. In the SberBank application, I go to the "My business" tab: I immediately see how much I need to pay, select the card from which the money will be withdrawn. You do not need to enter any data, just confirm the payment. It takes me less than a minute to deal with taxes in a month.

There is no need to draw up and submit reports, calculate the amount of tax and go to the Federal Tax Service - with self-employment there is no headache at all.

Who is suitable to be self-employed? Those who do not have hired employees, those who are not involved in the resale and sale of excise goods. Annual income must be less than $ 2.4 million. rub. Ideal for those who provide services: for tutors, builders and finishers, beauty masters, freelancers, consultants.

I work according to the principle: pay taxes and sleep well. You are thinking how to develop a direction, and not how to save on taxes or not pay them. If there are no receipts in any month, then you pay nothing. You give out electronic checks to customers - everything is official.

You can also accept payment from foreign customers, in foreign currency, participate in state trade, receive loans. Everything is like an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, only without complicated documentation and tax reporting. At the beginning of 2021, there were already 2 million self-employed people registered in the country. human.

A self-employed person can also be an employee at the same time. Sometimes it is even more profitable. After all, the NAP does not apply to the Pension Fund. But you can still pay contributions for accumulating a pension yourself, if you wish.

When registering, self-employed are entitled to a tax deduction of 10 thousand. rub. The tax is reduced for this amount. Also a nice bonus.

And if you register through the SberBank Online application, you will also receive a package of services for business development for free. Called "Your business". It includes a document builder, free legal advice, a training platform, online registration and customer accounting, and even a website builder. A kind of small interactive business incubator.

In general, self-employment benefits law-abiding citizens from all sides. There is an opportunity to openly advertise your services and have more customers. Plus tax deduction and bonuses from Sberbank.

If you are self-employed, please tell us which area you are in and share your opinion on the NAP in the comments.
