Consider use of a General taxation system (GTS). Under this system, individual entrepreneur pays all the necessary taxes and fees, if it is not exempt on the relevant grounds. Usually this mode is used for relatively large enterprises.
Most of the taxes and contributions provided for by the General taxation system, are accrued and paid only under the condition that the enterprise engaged in a specific activity and this raises the tax base. Traditionally, individual entrepreneurs must calculate and pay the value added tax (VAT), the tax to incomes of physical persons (personal income tax), property tax, insurance contributions to the Pension Fund, Territorial Fund of Obligatory Medical Insurance, Federal Fund of Obligatory Medical Insurance.
