An application, or otherwise this document is called a “notification of application of the simplified tax system”, is usually submitted simultaneously with the registration of an individual business. If for some reason it was not possible to do this in parallel with the registration of an individual entrepreneur, then the law, namely Article 346.13 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, allows you to “deliver” this application to the tax authority within 30 working days. Otherwise, an individual entrepreneur will be able to switch to a simplified taxation regime only from the beginning of the new calendar year.

If an individual entrepreneur has foreign citizenship and does not have permanent registration in the Russian Federation, then documents can be submitted to him at the place of his temporary registration. The main condition is the presentation of a residence permit in the Russian Federation.
