Most people do not pay taxes on income from renting an apartment, on the money earned for teaching English, and sometimes they open online stores without any registration. Olga Avvakumova, an expert of the Kontur. Elba service of SKB Kontur, tells who and how can figure out a business without registration.
There is an explanation why the "home business" is not registered:
- income is not large enough to burden oneself with formalities;
- to be honest, it is difficult for tax authorities to find a violation when there are ordinary citizens on both sides of the transaction.
And yet, when can it "arrive" and from which side to expect?
Tax Raids
Such events exist, the tax office is trying to identify illegal entrepreneurs. And not just one: the inspectors are accompanied by law enforcement officers who have the authority to conduct search trips. The tax office itself does not have such an opportunity, therefore, if necessary, it sends a request to the internal affairs bodies. And then, together, these representatives of the law put things in order and restore justice.
Of course, they won't go blindly check everyone in a row. The IRS owns various techniques for analyzing and identifying gray patterns, but it all works for the exposed business. And in the case when nothing is known at all, various sources help out. Interesting information can come from different directions. Let's think about which ones.
Checking counterparties
If there are only the population among your counterparties, you can skip this paragraph and you should immediately go to the next point. But if you systematically sold goods to a company and, at its request, filled out documents, this information may come to light. How? If they check the organization (your buyer) and the purchase amounts from the "non-entrepreneur" attract controllers, the following questions may already be for you. They will ask for copies of contracts, all payments and documents for the delivery of goods. Then it remains to check at least the transfer of tax on income from the sale, and maybe even more - to punish for doing business without registration.
Banks are good friends of tax officials
These serious organizations oversee the operations of the account and, if necessary, help the tax office. If your customers pay by transfer to a card, you should be more careful. As a general rule, information about the account, transfers and balance is provided upon special request of the tax authorities. But banks should report suspicious transactions on their own, only to another government agency - Rosfinmonitoring.
Attention is paid to the amounts, the purpose of the payment, the nature of the transaction and the sender. Everything is within the framework of the law on combating money laundering. In a simple situation, it will be enough to provide a written explanation of the payment, but in a critical situation this may result in a visit to many instances.
Customer complaints
There is one government agency that protects your clients. You've probably heard about it, it's Rospotrebnadzor. The task of this important authority is to protect the interests of consumers, check the safety of the product (or service) and how you comply with all the rules and regulations.
For Rospotrebnadzor, a reliable source of information is dissatisfied customers. Having received a complaint from them, the controllers begin to consider all the data on you. Government agencies help each other, so the full research process is then launched.
Conflicting employee
It might not be the best of all when your offended employee complains. A special labor inspectorate is protecting his rights. She, like Rospotrebnadzor, is always ready to accept a complaint (only not from customers, but from employees) and put things in order. How the situation can develop in this case, it seems, is already approximately clear.
When a business lacks oneself alone and needs employees, entrepreneurs rarely remain in the shadows. There is an additional responsibility for other people, and it is still worth taking shape.
If, after reading all this, you are thinking about legalizing income, for a simple business we immediately recommend registering as an individual entrepreneur. The taxation system has a lot to choose from, you can choose the most optimal one. And do not be afraid of accounting, for an individual entrepreneur it is so simple that you can figure it out yourself. In addition, now there are services for doing business and submitting reports online.
