Why self-conscious Tulas electronic signature, revealed the bankers

Self-employed people do not need an electronic signature for normal work in the application “My tax”. However, as the business develops, CEP may become necessary: for example, in cooperation with companies, participation in electronic bidding or working with some digital platforms, the leader of the Sber2B EDI Evgeny Lyashchuk told about the features of the electronic signature “MK in Tula”.

He specified, in particular, that a qualified electronic signature is a digital analogue of a handwritten signature and has legal force in accordance with Federal Law No. 63-FZ. With its help, self-employed people can sign contracts, acts and other documents electronically, without wasting time on printing and sending papers.

As Evgeny Lyashchuk explains, especially relevant CEP becomes in the Tula region when working with corporate customers. For companies, a full-fledged electronic document flow is important, allowing to take into account signed documents and expenses. In addition, the electronic signature protects the file from imperceptible change: after adjusting the signed document, the CEP becomes invalid.

Tulyaks with the status of self-employed can also use CEP to participate in individual electronic procurement and property auctions. It is required for filing applications, signing final documents and further exchange of papers with the customer.

Another area of application is marketplaces and other digital platforms, where electronic document management becomes part of the work of sellers. Tula businessmen working in this segment may also need to interact with state resources, including when using advanced electronic services.

At the same time, it is important for tulyaks to take into account that obtaining a CEP is associated with additional costs and technical requirements. It will require a certified USB token and customization of special software. The certificate of an individual is valid for 12 months, after which it can be reissued online. A qualified certificate can be obtained at an accredited certification center. The self-employed person will need to confirm the identity and provide passport data, TIN and SNILS. After verification and payment, the certificate is issued on a protected carrier.

There is no mandatory CEP for all self-employed. Tulyaks do not need to issue it only because of registration as a payer of professional income tax. To work in My Tax, forming checks and reporting, an electronic signature is not required.

In the Tula region, the self-employment regime is in demand among the population. According to a recent analysis, about 30% of the region’s residents approve of this approach to taxation. But it is important to remember to comply with the law, choosing such a regime. After all, from this year, banks begin to block Tulyak cards for regular transfers without a contract.
