You can work as an individual and take payment for your services until you are interested in tax workers, but rather this will happen on the complaint of a disgruntled client. In this case, you will have to pay 13% of the amount received + a fine and penalties (they are insignificant, depending on the statute of limitations for receiving payment). Criminal liability may also arise (Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - illegal business), if you cause damage or receive income in excess of 1.5 million rubles. But it still needs to be proven! In your place, I nevertheless registered as an individual entrepreneur with a simplified taxation system, I would draw up contracts with clients as a contract for the provision of services for a fee. In any case, you need to develop a standard form of such an agreement, whether you become an individual entrepreneur or not, moreover, a detailed one with the deadlines for the completion of work,
