Who is obliged to notify Rospotrebnadzor about the start of activities
The obligation to notify Rospotrebnadzor about the start of work is enshrined in Art.
8 of Federal Law No. 294-FZ of December 26, 2008. Only those LLCs and individual entrepreneurs that have begun to provide the services listed in Appendix No. 1 to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 16, 2009 No. 584 should do this. If your OKVED is on the list, notify the supervisory authority before starting activities. According to Appendix No. 1, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities that are primarily associated with the provision of services or the sale of goods to citizens must notify the start of work. Here are some activities that are listed in the Decree:
- provision of temporary accommodation services, for example, in hotels;
- repair and sewing services for shoes and clothing;
- repair of household appliances, computers, telephones;
- production and repair of furniture, wood products;
- car maintenance;
- catering;
- trade in any goods;
- transportation services;
- printing Services;
- production of food, fire-technical products, building materials, and so on;
- packaging production;
- social services;
- activities of travel agencies;
- maintaining gas equipment;
- installation or dismantling of elevators and so on.
Who must give notice
Notification of the commencement of certain types of business activities is submitted only by those entrepreneurs and legal entities whose codes are included in a special list.
Please note: if you chose one of these codes during registration, but do not plan to start a real business using it yet, you do not need to send a notification.
For example, if you open a grocery store with code 47.29, then before starting trading you must send a notice of the start of activity. At the same time, for the future, you also chose a code starting with 56 (catering services), with the expectation that in a year you will open a cafeteria at the store. But while there is no cafe, there is no need to inform anyone about plans to open it. Send notice of the start of business activities in the catering sector only before the actual opening of the cafeteria.
Where are the codes that need to be notified? In Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 16, 2009 N 584 (as amended on November 12, 2018). Moreover, for some types of activities, OKVED codes are indicated, while for others, codes from another classifier are given - OKPD. It stands for All-Russian Classifier of Products by Type of Economic Activity.

| Kind of activity | Where to report |

What form should I use to notify Rospotrebnadzor?
The form of the document is enshrined in Appendix No. 2 to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 16, 2009 No. 584. Enter the following information in the notification:
- name of the territorial body of Rospotrebnadzor;

Individual entrepreneur work
Russian legislation allows individual entrepreneurs to engage in all types of activities that are officially permitted. Most often, it is enough to simply declare the direction of the business to the Federal Tax Service during registration, indicating the appropriate OKVED codes. But some areas of business require separate operations: obtaining a license or notifying authorized bodies.
Organizations and individual entrepreneurs must submit a notification to Rospotrebnadzor about the start of activities after their state registration and registration with the tax authority, but before the actual performance of work or provision of services to the authorized body (Article 8 of Federal Law No. 294-FZ of December 26, 2008 ). The list of such OKVED is regulated by the government (Resolution No. 584 of July 16, 2009).
What are the deadlines for filing a notice?
Rospotrebnadzor does not indicate a strict deadline as such. In accordance with the law, the notice period for the start of business activities is the period between the state registration of the enterprise and the immediate start of the provision of services and work.
The procedure for submitting documents is regulated in detail by Law No. 294-FZ, according to paragraph 2 of which almost all types of commercial activities are required to comply with these requirements (hotel and restaurant business, wholesale and retail trade, household and transport services, and much more).
For failure to comply with the requirements of the law, administrative liability is provided: a fine for individual entrepreneurs - from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles, for legal entities - from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles. It is important not only to maintain order and provide information before starting business, but also to provide reliable, documented information. The amount of the fine increases significantly if the document contains unreliable or untrue information.
How to fill out the NAP form?
The application for starting a business activity has a single form for all businessmen. Only reliable and up-to-date information is included in the notice of commencement of activity:
- The full name of the control service to which the businessman sends a notification about the start of activities.
- Full date and year of application.
- Full name, tax identification number, and state registration number of the entrepreneur.
- The address where goods and services are provided.
- All types of work and services that will be provided by a businessman.
- Classifier code for services to the population and type of activity.
- The date, month and year from which services and goods will be provided to the population.
The notification form about the start of business activity is signed personally by the citizen opening the business, or by a representative who has a power of attorney certified by a notary. At the end, the applicant’s full name is written, a signature is placed and, if available, a seal.
Procedure for submitting an NAP notification to Rospotrebnadzor
Individual entrepreneurs or legal entities must follow a certain procedure when submitting an NAP notification:
- Prepare two completed copies of the NAP notification
- Attach a copy of the OGRN to the written application.
- Attach a copy of the TIN of a legal entity LLC or individual entrepreneur individual entrepreneur.
Hand over the prepared documents personally or send by mail to the relevant authorities.
Why apply?
What awaits an organization that does not submit or does not send a notification from Rospotrebnadzor about the start of business activities within the specified time frame? If a citizen runs his own business, but has not sent a notification about the start of activity to the regulatory services, then he will face legal liability for this. The penalty is a fine of 3-5 thousand rubles. Citizens should not forget about registering a business with other federal services.
A citizen running his own business is also responsible for the accuracy and relevance of information when sending an application. If it turns out that the information in the notification about the start of business activity does not correspond to reality, then the entrepreneur will be fined in the amount of 5-10 thousand rubles.
If violations are detected again, the company will face a more significant fine.
