Taxi is one of the most common types of transportation in urban areas. And for some people, this is a great way to earn money. But not every car owner can become a carrier of passengers. In order for everything to be official, you will have to fulfill a number of requirements prescribed in existing regulations.
Design options
Today, private transportation is no longer a part-time job, but is recognized as a full-time job. Naturally, if a taxi license is obtained.
Regulatory acts provide only two options for issuing permits. The first option assumes that the driver cooperates with a legal entity or individual entrepreneur who has permission for this type of activity. The driver is in official labor relations with the employer, taxes are paid for him, an employment contract is concluded with him, an employment record is drawn up.
The second option involves self-obtaining a license. That is, the driver has permission to own IP. He has the right to work independently or to hire employees.
Requirements for a permit applicant
To make a taxi license, the applicant must meet certain requirements:
- the driver must have at least five years of driving experience;
- the machine must undergo regular technical inspection as provided by the manufacturer;
- in the passenger compartment of the vehicle there should be a taximeter and a light cover;
- the machine should be painted yellow;
- the car should have a "checker".
The driver must always have documents for the vehicle and the right to transport. In case of loss of a license, it can be obtained free of charge.
How to get permission without issuing IP?
You can get a taxi license without registering as an individual enterprise if you have an official labor relationship with an organization or individual entrepreneur that has such a permit.
It must be understood that for the transportation of passengers without obtaining an appropriate permit an administrative fine of up to 30 thousand rubles is provided.
What resolution looks like
The following details are required in the license:
- F. I. O. of the person for whom the permit is issued.
- Passport details and place of registration.
- Vehicle registration data.
- Details of the authority that issued the permit.
- License number.
- Validity.
- Place and date of registration.
How to get permission for IP
In this case, if an individual does not have an IP, then he will have to pre-register it. To date, there are no problems with the discovery. You should contact the tax office and submit the following package of documents:
- copies of identification card (with the provision of the original upon application);
- bank statement that a current account has been opened;
- statement;
- receipt confirming payment of state duty.
The application and details for payment can be downloaded from nalog.ru.
If everything is in order with the documents, then registration will be carried out within 5 business days from the date of application. An entrepreneur does not need to apply to the PF; the tax office will do everything by itself; all that remains is to get a stamp. The main thing is not to forget to enter the appropriate type of activity of OKVED.
Now you can get a taxi license. To do this, contact the territorial branch of the Ministry of Transport and submit the following documents:
- copy of passport;
- copy of documents confirming ownership of the vehicle;
- copy of driver’s license;
- copy of certificate of registration of IP;
- receipt of payment of state duty.
When submitting papers, you should have with you all the original documents that are submitted in copies and a completed application.
The Ministry of Transport specialists are given a whole month to issue a license. The permit itself is valid for five years. After that, the driver has the right to cancel it or extend it.
Where can I apply?
There are two options for applying for a taxi license:
- on the portal of government services;
- in any branch of the Multifunctional Center.
Residents of the Moscow region have an additional way to submit documents: through the website uslugi.mosreg.ru. In other regions, it is better to clarify the information. Possibly, standing committees are working under executive bodies to consider such issues.
How much can registration cost?
The cost of obtaining a taxi license largely depends on the speed of paperwork. On average, the procedure can take from 7 to 20 days, hence the cost from 3 to 5 thousand rubles. For urgency you have to pay a lot more - from 10 to 15 thousand rubles. In this case, permission will be obtained in 3 business days.
Do not forget that in addition to the costs of obtaining permission, you will have to fork out for chess layout and a light shade, this is about 5 thousand rubles. A taximeter costs around 10 thousand rubles, and repainting a car will cost from 10 to 15 thousand. A walkie-talkie, depending on functionality, can cost 50 thousand rubles.
What is the best way to work, with or without IP?
First of all, the opening of an IP can cost 20 thousand rubles, not taking into account car maintenance. The state duty in the region of 4 thousand rubles, the opening of a current account of about 10 thousand and the payment for obtaining the permit itself is approximately 5 thousand. If you just hire an employer, then all these costs can be avoided.
If we talk about taxes, then the individual entrepreneur will have to pay 15% of his income, as well as other taxes. For an employee, the company will also pay a tax of 13%, which is deducted from the salary. In addition, the employer will take a certain percentage, that is, on average, the income level will be 15-30% less than that of an individual entrepreneur.
An individual entrepreneur himself has the right to choose a convenient work schedule, most likely, the employee will not have such a right.
Can a license be revoked?
If a taxi driver commits a violation of the rules of transportation, then a warning is issued to him initially. The document must indicate the period for which defects should be eliminated. If they are not eliminated, then permission will be withdrawn for one month. If even after this period the deficiencies are not eliminated, the Ministry of Transport (territorial branch) has the right to apply to the court to cancel the license.
A license can also be revoked after an accident, especially if the accident caused death or serious injury to participants in traffic.
How to check a taxi license by number?
The easiest way to check the permits of the carrier providing services in Moscow and the region. This is done on the site Mos.ru. The portal highlighted the search options by color of the license. The green license is the Moscow region, and the yellow is the capital.
On the site you can check the taxi license by the state number of the vehicle or by the name of the organization engaged in transportation. You can also search by license number. To check the IP you need to enter the full name of the entrepreneur.
You can get information about the carrier on the website of the Ministry of Transport at mosreg.ru, choosing a specific region. For the Leningrad Region and St. Petersburg, relevant information can be found on the website http://mtdi.mosreg.ru.
You can check the taxi license on the municipal services portal.
Conclusion
On the one hand, many people who have their own vehicle are engaged in private transportation and sometimes only pay a fine of 5 thousand rubles, considering that they would have to pay several times more to get a license. On the other hand, obtaining permission is not so difficult, but you can safely ride and do what you love without fear of fines and problems.
