Registration of an individual entrepreneur with the Social Insurance Fund as an employer
Until 2021, all employers had to independently register with the Pension Fund and Social Insurance Fund. But now the situation is different - the Federal Tax Service is in charge of administering insurance premiums. Do I need to register an individual entrepreneur as an employer somewhere in 2021? Or does registration happen automatically?
Who should register
Registration of an individual entrepreneur with the Social Insurance Fund as an employer is mandatory in two cases:
- When concluding an employment contract;
- When concluding a civil law contract or an author's contract, if its terms provide for the payment by the customer of contributions to insure the performer against accidents.
What about individual entrepreneurs’ contributions for themselves? An individual entrepreneur is not required to pay insurance contributions for his social insurance, but can do so voluntarily. However, given that an individual does not have the right to conclude an employment contract with himself, registration of an individual entrepreneur with the Social Insurance Fund as an employer does not occur in this case.
In order for an entrepreneur to receive payments for temporary disability or in connection with maternity, he submits a special application for voluntary insurance of an individual to his FSS branch. Moreover, in order to receive benefits in the current year, contributions must begin to be paid in the previous year.
Registration procedure
So, if you have entered into your first employment or civil contract with an employee or contractor, then you need to submit an application to social insurance for registration as an employer. The deadline for submitting documents is no later than 30 calendar days from the date of conclusion of the contract.
In accordance with the Order of the Social Insurance Fund dated April 22, 2019 N 125, the mandatory list of documents for registration of an individual entrepreneur includes:
- Application in the prescribed form;
- A copy of the policyholder's identity document (passport of an individual entrepreneur);
- Copies of the employee’s work record book or concluded employment contract;
- Copies of a civil law agreement or an author's order agreement, if the conditions provide for the payment of insurance premiums for injuries.
Copies of documents are certified by an enhanced qualified electronic signature (when submitted via the Internet) or by FSS employees when verified with the originals. Depending on the type of contract concluded, an application for registration of the policyholder with the Social Insurance Fund is submitted using different forms.
For an employment contract:
- Application form (approved by Order of the Social Insurance Fund dated April 22, 2019 N 215).
For a civil contract:
- Application form (approved by Order of the Social Insurance Fund dated April 22, 2019 N 215).
Documents must be submitted to the social insurance department at the place of registration of the individual entrepreneur. If you have access to the State Services portal, you can register by submitting documents remotely.
Confirmation of registration
After receiving the documents, the Social Insurance Fund, within three working days, assigns the individual entrepreneur a registration number and subordination code, and also enters information about him in the register of policyholders.
All this data is indicated in the notice of registration of an individual entrepreneur as an insured, which is sent in the manner specified in the application (in person, by mail or electronically). In addition, another notification is issued - about the amount of accident insurance premiums, which depend on the professional risk class of the individual entrepreneur’s activities.
If documents for registration of the policyholder are not submitted within 30 days from the date of conclusion of the first contract, the entrepreneur will be fined under Art. 26.28 of Law No. 125-FZ of July 24, 1998.
The amount of the fine depends on the length of the delay:
- Up to 90 days inclusive - 5,000 rubles;
- More than 90 days - 10,000 rubles;
Registration in individual entrepreneur funds without employees
As you know, registration of insurance premium payers (including individual entrepreneurs) is carried out by two funds: the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund.
The tax office independently transmits information about the new entrepreneur to its colleagues from the Pension Fund. They, in turn, are obliged to register the entrepreneur and assign him a registration number. Three days are allotted for this (paragraph 2, clause 1, article 11 of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 167-FZ “On Compulsory Pension Insurance in the Russian Federation”, hereinafter referred to as Law No. 167-FZ). As a result, representatives of the Pension Fund must send the entrepreneur a document confirming registration with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation as an insurer (paragraph 6, paragraph 1, article 11 of Law No. 167-FZ).
As we can see, a registered individual entrepreneur without employees should not submit any documents to the Pension Fund. Registration is carried out without his participation (through the exchange of information between the Federal Tax Service and the Pension Fund of Russia).
While an individual entrepreneur does not have employees, he is not obliged to pay “for himself” insurance premiums for disability and maternity to the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation (Part 5, Article 14, Federal Law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ “On Insurance Contributions”). Insurance premiums for insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases “for oneself” are also not paid.
Only those individual entrepreneurs who have entered into an employment contract with an employee are subject to registration with the Social Insurance Fund (clause 3, part 1, article 2.3 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ “On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood”, hereinafter referred to as Law No. 255-FZ).
It turns out that an individual entrepreneur without employees is not required to visit the Social Insurance Fund and register. The only exception is the case when an individual entrepreneur wishes to receive benefits for temporary disability and maternity. In this case, he can voluntarily formalize relations with the fund. To do this, you need to submit a corresponding application and a copy of your identity document to the Social Insurance Fund at your place of residence (clause 12 of the Administrative Regulations, approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated February 25, 2014 No. 108n). However, we repeat that this is his right, not his obligation.
Adding an organization.
After gaining access to the State Services portal and confirming his identity, the manager will have to add an organization. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Log in to the portal.
- In the upper right corner of the page, click on your full name and click “Login as organization.”
- Then go to the “Create an organization account” section.
In the “New organization” block, use the “Add” button and select “Legal entity”. Then follow the system instructions to complete the company entry procedure.
Registration of Limited Liability Companies in the Social Insurance Fund
Before applying for registration with the Social Insurance Fund, an organization must register with the main regulatory government body - the Federal Tax Service. After the registration process at the local branch of the Federal Tax Service, which takes no more than five working days and receipt of all title documents, the founder of the LLC must be registered with the Federal Tax Service.
Important! Unlike an individual entrepreneur, an LLC is required to register with the Social Insurance Fund, regardless of the number of employees. Quite often this is exactly what happens – the role of the employee is the founder and director rolled into one.
Application deadline
In order to register with the Social Insurance Fund, an LLC is given a rather limited period - only ten days. In case of delay, the organization may be fined in the amount of 10,000 rubles. In addition to the organization itself, an official, in particular the director of an LLC, may also be subject to monetary punishment.
Package of documents
- Writing an application in accordance with the template established by law.
- A passport, if the director submits documents in person, or a notarized power of attorney, if an authorized person submits the application for the director. Most often, this is the chief accountant.
- Certificate of registration of the LLC with the tax service (TIN and KPP).
- Certificate of state registration of LLC.
- Statistics codes from Rosstat.
- An extract of information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which must be issued no earlier than 1 month.
- Copies of passports of hired personnel (page with personal data and page with registration address) and copies of employment contracts or copies of work books (first and last sheet).
Before submitting documents, it is advisable to clarify the list at the territorial office of the FSS. According to the law, the registration procedure with the Social Insurance Fund should last no more than five days.
FSS confirmation of type of activity 2020
The Social Insurance Fund approves your contribution rate “for injuries”, based on data about your main type of activity. The main type of economic activity is considered to be the one that, based on the results of the previous year, has the largest share in the total volume of products produced and services provided (clause 9 of the Rules, approved by Government Resolution No. 713 of December 1, 2005).
To confirm the main type of activity, the following set of documents is submitted to the territorial body of the Social Insurance Fund where the policyholder is registered, on paper or electronically (clause 3 of the Procedure, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated January 31, 2006 No. 55):
- Application for confirmation of the main type of economic activity;
- Certificate confirming the main type of economic activity;
- A copy of the explanatory note to the balance sheet for the previous year (except for insurers - small businesses).
To confirm the type of activity in the Social Insurance Fund in 2021, the application form is the same as in 2021.
Confirmation deadlines
To confirm the main type of activity for 2021, documents must be submitted to the Social Insurance Fund no later than April 15, 2020 (clause 3 of the Procedure, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated January 31, 2006 No. 55).
What happens if the type of activity is not confirmed?
If you do not send documents to the Social Insurance Fund within the established time frame, the tariff will still be set for you. It will correspond to one of the types of activities that you entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and have the highest professional risk class. The actual conduct of such activities will no longer matter (clause 13 of Government Decree No. 713 of December 1, 2005).
With this option of tariff approval, a notification from the Social Insurance Fund will be sent to you before 05/01/2020 (clause 5 of the Procedure, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated 01/31/2006 No. 55).
There is no responsibility for failure to confirm the main type of activity in the Social Insurance Fund. Therefore, an organization that has the highest professional risk class of all types of activities listed in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, does not exceed the class for the main type of activity, may not issue documents for the Social Insurance Fund. After all, regardless of whether such an organization submits documents to confirm the tariff to the Social Insurance Fund or not, the tariff will be set to it the same.

How to reimburse expenses to the Social Insurance Fund
Regarding social expenses, the employer is the insurer. Organizations transfer benefits for temporary disability and maternity, after which the Social Insurance Fund compensates for these expenses.
The compensation process itself is structured like this: the company acts as an intermediary between social insurance authorities and its employees, paying for insured events. At the end of the month, the policyholder calculates insurance premiums and transfers them to the Federal Tax Service.
If during the reporting period (the same month) expenses were incurred for temporary disability and maternity benefits, the organization reduces the monthly payment by the amount of these expenses (Part 2 of Article 431 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). At the end of the quarter/half-year/year, a reconciliation is carried out to identify debts and overpayments. Overspending is subject to reimbursement.
What is overspending in this case? This is the excess of actual employee benefit costs incurred over the final accruals. This amount requires compensation, which is carried out either in the format of offsetting the overpayment against future periods, or in the form of returning real money to the policyholder (Article 4.6 255-FZ of December 29, 2006).
What is the main difficulty? By way of refund. Previously, all operations were carried out through the Social Insurance Fund - payment of contributions, reimbursement of expenses, and reporting. Since 2021, payments and reports go through the Federal Tax Service, and compensation continues to be controlled by social insurance. At the same time, direct refund of money is also carried out by the Federal Tax Service.
The general procedure for mutual settlements looks like this:
- The policyholder submits an application for reimbursement of expenses to the Social Insurance Fund.
- Social insurance examines the documents, simultaneously requesting from the Federal Tax Service information about the policyholder’s debts and overpayments.
- The insurance authority makes a decision on compensation and sends a notice to the policyholder.
- Social insurance informs the Federal Tax Service of the need to transfer compensation to the policyholder.
- The Federal Tax Service transfers the specified amount to the policyholder's current account.
It turns out that the decision to allocate funds is made by social insurance, and compensation is paid by the tax inspectorate. If the policyholder wants the regulatory authorities to make a positive decision and reimburse all expenses for benefits, he must provide only reliable information, correct calculations and complete justifications.
Application “Social Navigator”
Recently, the FSS launched an application that allows you to use the functionality of your personal account from a mobile device. The service contains the following features:
- Calculator for calculating social benefits (disability, parental leave, etc.);
- Information on options for sending documents to the Fund to receive social payments;
- Tracking the stages of consideration of the submitted application;
- Information about nearby socially significant objects.
You can use the “Social Navigator” service by installing it on your cell phone or tablet. But work to improve it continues and updates and new features are added periodically.
How to recover your password
Since the login takes place on the government services portal, access restoration is also carried out there. Click the "I don't know my password" link. Write your mobile phone or email address. Click Continue. The system will ask you to write additional personal information to establish your identity. You will be able to change the secret code.
How to get an electronic sick leave certificate in your FSS personal account
An employee can independently choose in what form a sick leave certificate will be issued to him. It is recommended that you first ask your accountant if he can accept the document in electronic form. If an employee decides to use a new service, but his organization does not yet accept such documents, then he will have to issue a sick leave certificate in the usual form.
In this case, the clinic must cancel the submitted form and issue a paper document. If you find out in advance whether the accountant can accept the electronic format, then there will be no problems. The employer is not obliged to use the new FSS personal account system. Everyone makes their own decision.
When registering a sick leave, the patient must give written consent to the doctor for the processing of personal data and execution of the document online. The sheet does not need to be certified by the registry.
The sick leave certificate has a unique code by which you can find it in your FSS personal account. You can bring it to work or tell the accountant by phone.
Reviews about FSS
The personal account is intended for work in it by insured persons and policyholders, that is, organizations. The functionality is selected so that most of the services can be obtained remotely. On various resources you can get acquainted with the opinions of citizens and business managers about the possibilities of your personal account and the work of the Social Insurance Fund itself. Therefore, we suggest that you read the positive and negative reviews to get a complete picture of the structure.
On one of the sites you can read various comments left by users of the FSS website. For example, a user under the nickname Elena-ask is very pleased with the work of the Foundation. The woman is on leave to care for her second child and was called to work to sign a document stating that she owed the company 30,000 rubles. The accountant could not clearly explain where these figures came from and why the debt arose in general. The woman wrote a letter to the FSS asking for clarification of the situation. The check was completed very quickly and revealed that this was an accounting error. But the woman is pleased that the FSS employees gave her a complete explanation, after which she had no questions left.
Negative reviews mainly relate to Moscow departments, where citizens turn to on various issues. Many write about the negligent attitude of employees, rudeness and rudeness. For example, dekoramast submitted reports and observed the behavior of FSS employees, who constantly redirected clients to other windows. There was chaos in the hall and there was no electronic queue. Many employees were busy talking among themselves.
In the VK group you can ask questions about the work of the Social Insurance Fund and receive quick and competent answers. People are interested in the status of documents in their personal account. For example, Marina Avtushenko asks why on an electronic sick leave with the status “under consideration” the amount appears as a dash. To which she is given a comment that she appears after payment has been made.
With the innovation of direct payments, women on maternity leave have questions about the date of receipt of benefits. Previously, payments came at the same time from the employer, but now the applications have been sent to the Social Insurance Fund and it must make payments. Olesya Pakhomova has had the document in the status “Confirmation of payment” since February 1, and she wrote the appeal on the 9th. Payments must arrive within 10 calendar days from the date of submission of documents. In subsequent months, money will be received from the 1st to the 15th.
As can be seen from the review, the capabilities of the FSS personal account are very extensive and allowed citizens and employers to quickly resolve issues, receive payments and benefits, and also get acquainted with important information.
Have you already registered on the FSS website? Then we ask you to share your experience and talk about the pros and cons of the service.
