How to stop being self-employed
Miscellaneous / / July 26, 2022
It's literally a matter of four clicks.
The self-employed are businessmen who pay a professional income tax (EPT). This is a special regime that allows you to give the state 4% of income when working with individuals and 6% - with legal entities. This is less than in other tax regimes. True, NPA has its own limitations, including by types of activity. If you want to know a little more about this, read separate material.
And we'll get to the point.

Click on the "Settings" icon in the lower right corner.
Scroll down the page and click on the "Remove from the NAP register" button.
Then you need to choose the reason why you want to stop being self-employed - maybe you stopped working or join the civil service. Confirm your choice, and information about your desire will be sent to the tax office.
Not later than the next day you will receive a notice of deregistration.
Keep in mind: all taxes that you accrued before the refusal of the NAP will still need to be paid early.
After receiving the notification, the former self-employed without IP status can breathe easy. The entrepreneur is automatically transferred to general tax regime (special ones are allowed to be used only from next year), plus he has an obligation to pay insurance premiums. This will need to be taken care of.
Is it possible to become self-employed again after giving up the NAP
This can be done at any time in the My Tax application by re-registration. There are no obstacles or prohibitions for those who once changed their minds.
Moreover, there is a tax deduction for the self-employed.
NAP payers have a tax deduction in the amount of 10 thousand rubles. It allows you to make mandatory contributions at a reduced rate until this amount is exhausted. If you do not use the entire deduction and refuse self-employment, and then return, its balance will remain. You just pick up where you left off.
