CrimeaPRESS reports:
The decision of an individual entrepreneur to close the activity does not exempt from paying insurance premiums: even if the business did not bring the expected profit, and the entrepreneur did not earn anything, he must pay insurance premiums without fail.
In Sevastopol, only for the third quarter 2022 of the year, individual entrepreneurs 615 were deregistered. Of these, 269 or almost percent did not pay insurance premiums in a fixed amount within the stipulated time. The total amount of debt for these taxpayers amounted to more than 5 million rubles. Former entrepreneurs joined the ranks of debtors to the budget.
Let us clarify that, in accordance with the norms of the current legislation, the payment of insurance premiums by an individual entrepreneur is carried out no later than 15 calendar days from the date of his removal from the register with the tax authority .
One of the services of the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia — «Insurance premium calculation calculator» will help to calculate the amount payable. At the same time, you should be aware that the amount of fixed insurance premiums is paid by the entrepreneur, regardless of the presence or absence of financial and economic activities. The debt to the budget will not disappear anywhere — debt collection from former individual entrepreneurs is carried out in accordance with article 15 of the Tax Code, as from individuals.
Enforced recovery entails additional costs for citizens. First of all, this is the calculation of penalties. In addition to penalties, in case of non-payment of tax on time, the tax authorities issue a demand for payment and begin the enforcement procedure:
- through the judicial authorities, and this will lead to an increase in the amount payable by the amount of the state duty;
- the initiation of enforcement proceedings by the Bailiff Service with subsequent seizure of property, which will also lead to an increase in the amount to payment on the amount of the performance fee;
- recovery from wages;
- from settlement accounts opened in banking institutions, both by the Bailiff Service and the Tax Service;
- in addition, it is possible to impose restrictions on travel outside the Russian Federation.
Let’s take statistics as an example. For 9 months 269 of the year in Sevastopol, debtors repaid more than 15 million rubles in the course of enforcement measures, in this amount, penalties amount to 7.8 million rubles. In case of payment within the terms established by the Code, additional costs could be avoided.
