How is remote work for a foreign office formalized?

Question

Career in IT

Hello.
The question is simple. If you start working remotely for a foreign company that does not have a representative office in the Russian Federation, how is this formalized? Interested in the moment with the payment of taxes, pension contributions, that's all. Do I need to open an IP?

Answer 1

You need an individual entrepreneur if the payments are regular and you want to do everything with taxes correctly
, otherwise, you don’t have to bother

Answer 2

Depends on your counterparty. According to the idea, he can conclude an agreement with our state structures (FTS, PFR, FSS) on the payment of taxes and contributions, but this is a dreary thing for them ... I know that several foreign companies work this way, but I don’t know specific details.
An easier way is to register an LLC / IP and conclude an agreement with them. It will most likely be in English, so you will need to translate it.
The schema looks something like this:
Your account may be in rubles, it may be in dollars. If you only receive, then it is not critical. LLC must have a ruble account, in foreign currency - at your discretion. Personally, in my opinion, if you only receive money , then an account in foreign currency is extra operating expenses (30-50 USD per month, on average, maintaining an account in dollars).
Next comes currency control. For details, you will be best advised by the foreign trade department of your bank. Tell the transaction managers that you will have currency transactions from abroad, they will give you the contacts of their colleagues, who will advise you in detail on all issues.
From the general points I can highlight the following:

1. They need a contract with your counterparty without fail
   Separately, I want to cancel a couple of points:
   1) Do not look separately for translators, separately for a notary. Immediately contact the notary and say that you need a translation of the contract for the foreign trade department of the bank. If the notary says that he does not provide such a service, look for another notary. Usually, he cooperates with 1-2 translators whom he trusts. At a cost - 1-1.5 tr. translation of one page of the contract, plus 1.5 - 2 tr. confirmation of the contract itself. Prices are approximate and may vary in your area.
   2) Most banks accept certificates of work performed as printouts from scans, i.e. Your partner prints the act himself on the printer, signs it and scans it. The scan is sent to you by email. You print it (better b / w), put on it with your own hand "Copy is correct, Ivanov I.I., sign" and stamp on top. Take it to the bank.
   If we talk about the choice of a bank - VTB, not VTB24, but VTB. They suit me personally. Before them, I worked with Alfa Bank, also like nothing, but they dragged out the crediting of the first few payments very well ....

Answer 3

Contract with a foreign company. If the contract is with your individual entrepreneur, then you deduct all taxes as an individual entrepreneur. If without IP, the declaration is on your conscience, it depends on whether you file declarations at all or not.

Answer 4

yes have to open ip or ooo
