Does a self-employed person need to sign a contract?

Question

Work organization

Suppose I register as self-employed and become a programming and math tutor for high school students.
1) Do we need contracts with students and their parents in this case?
2) How exactly is the self-employed tax paid now? Isn't that the same as a patent?

Answer 1

Suppose I register as self-employed

How?

Answer 2

you piled it all up - self-employment, registration, taxes, educational activities (tutoring), contracts ... therefore you can’t figure it out ...
According to the legislation of the Russian Federation (tax code), an individual can either refer to a self-employed citizen , while registration is not required, or to have the status of an individual entrepreneur, and here the status of an individual entrepreneur cannot be obtained without registration.
An individual entrepreneur is assumed to conduct a systematic commercial (entrepreneurial activity) for profit (may have employees), a self-employed citizen, this is someone who personally (without employees) provides any services for personal, household and / or other similar needs and receives some income (tutoring is just here).
There are many forms of taxation for individual entrepreneurs - these are incomes of 6%, incomes - expenses of 15%, UTII, OSNO, a patent, etc. ... the most optimal patent or 6%. A self-employed citizen is obliged once a year until April 1 of the next year to pay 13% personal income tax from his income and submit it to a tax return (report on his income, such as when selling a car if it was owned for less than 3 years ... but in practice, income from tutoring, etc., few people show and pay personal income tax from such activities, now it is being discussed in the tax how to oblige such citizens to pay taxes and submit reports)
As for contracts ... it's time for everyone not to ask such questions, but fear and greed take their toll, I want everything to be at my beloved, but at the same time there is nothing not to answer for ... any civil law relations (for individual entrepreneurs or self-employed) should be documented, i.e. take the form of a contract. First of all, you need an agreement in order to have evidence of a relationship so that you can legally demand payment in order to protect your interests in the event of a dispute (otherwise, for example, a dissatisfied client, having paid you money (by transfer to a card), will write a statement to the police that you took money from him and do not give it back ... and you will have to prove that it was payment for services, but which ones without a contract? or maybe you are conducting illegal business activities? do not pay taxes? (often they write complaints to the tax office), and if you are in the client’s apartment and a conflict arose, called the police, how can you prove that you are in someone else’s apartment with the consent of the same client without an agreement, and not illegally entered it? and how, for example, without the consent of the parents (which is fixed in the contract) can you conduct any activity with a minor? this is a 100% criminal ... you can come up with hundreds of such situations that are not in your favor ...)
Well, another nuance with an educational license, just for information, in your case it will not be needed, but if you register as an individual entrepreneur and involve third parties in tutoring or other educational services (even if they are not officially employees), then a license will be needed. .. and be careful with advertising, often, in order to add status, advertising texts are written in the plural, for example, "we provide tutoring services", and "we" is more than one and the activity becomes licensed, it will be difficult to prove the opposite if someone has questions...

Answer 3

An oral agreement is also considered a contract.

Answer 4

The contract, as already noted, can be oral. But the contract "shoots", although less often than a gun on the wall, but more powerful. As such, an agreement is needed to resolve conflict situations.
With taxes (if we are talking about taxes), everything is simple - either as an individual - 13% (personal income tax), or as one form or another of entrepreneurship (for example, IP USN / PSN / SZ). The information noise about the self-employed has not yet been implemented in the form of a law, but most of all it will be similar to the IP USN6%, only 3% without the right to hire and provide services only to individuals. Patent / tax on imputed income - here it is necessary to try on and compare with the same USN. Often the second is even more profitable both in numbers and in risks.
