Answer 1

Or you can not register, receive money in a foreign currency account as a private person and fill out a declaration at the end of the year - with the payment of 13% tax.

Answer 2

open an individual entrepreneur, a bank account, a foreign currency account, a transaction passport and live in peace, paying 6% and a fixed fee of ~ 17 thousand per year (this year)

Answer 3

For simplicity, you can download Declaration 2012 and try to fill it out. There is a section on income in foreign currency.
On the first screen - checkbox "Take into account income under civil law contracts" + "in foreign currency"
On the tab "Income outside the Russian Federation" - income code 2000 or 2010, for example. I don't know what you get money for.
Attach a tax receipt to the declaration.

Answer 4

It is better to open an individual entrepreneur, take a simplified system and pay 6% for all Incoming payments.
And by the way, I also heard that contributions to the pension fund, that is, those very 17 thousand with kopecks, can be written off as an expense and deducted from quarterly taxes. Moreover, this is suitable even for individual entrepreneurs with a simplified taxation system.
Does anyone know how this is officially done?

Answer 5

A transaction passport is needed if you fall more than 50 k bucks. It is unlikely that you will reach such amounts. And for small amounts, just an invoice signed by the client (can be scanned) and that's it.

Answer 6

I have been working as an individual entrepreneur for several years with customers from the USA. With each receipt of money, the bank needs a signed act (and sometimes an agreement, and for some banks an account). The most optimal (and I do) is to get somehow (for example, from another document) a scan of the customer's signature and insert it into acts and agreements for the bank. The bank is satisfied with such a facsimile and the customer does not care about anything. The main thing is that he correctly writes the account number that you transfer to the bank and your name when transferring money (for example, IP Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich).
And with regard to other pros and cons of working through an individual entrepreneur, you can read in my article , here I am too lazy to write the same thing.
