Rules for the transportation of passengers and luggage by taxi. How to get a taxi license? Every driver is required to have a work permit

In April 2011, the President of the Russian Federation signed Federal Law (FZ) N 69-FZ “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts” Russian Federation", individual articles and provisions that regulate the order of the organization, state registration and implementation current activities taxi companies in the Russian Federation.

This distinguishes the taxi law from other legal acts that regulate specific areas of activity in the Russian Federation and therefore bear appropriate names, for example, “Law on the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation” or “Law on the Judicial System.” Federal Law No. 69-FZ consists of 10 articles, which were subject to amendments and additions in 2012 and 2014.

Certain provisions of the law came into force not 10 days after the official publication of the text of the Federal Law, but after significant periods of time. The commencement dates for these provisions are determined by Article 10 of the law.

Part 23 and part 24 of Article 9 of the Federal Law came into force on January 1, 2015, therefore the term “ new law about taxi 2015." Which is still relevant today in 2019.

Legal support of the Law “On Taxi”

The following articles of Federal Law No. 69-FZ are directly related to taxis:

• Article 3 introduces standards of liability (in the form of administrative fines) for various violations of rules in taxi operations into the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation;
• Article 7 introduces into Federal Law No. 259-FZ of 2007 “The Charter of Motor Transport...” an additional article 36.1, which defines the scope of administrative responsibility of taxi companies in case of violation of the rules established by law;
• Article 8 includes within the scope of Federal Law N 294-FZ of 2008 “On the Protection of Rights legal entities and individual entrepreneurs..." enterprises for the transportation of passengers by passenger vehicles;
• Article 9 contains 24 points and is essentially a new law on taxis. The provisions of the article regulate all areas of activity of taxi companies (both legal entities - legal entities and private entrepreneurs - individual entrepreneurs), starting with obtaining permission (license) for the right to transport passengers, establishing requirements for vehicles approved for transportation, and ending with issues of control and supervision of the work of taxi companies by government agencies;
• Article 10 determines the procedure and timing for the entry into force of the law as a whole, as well as its individual articles and provisions.

Basic provisions of the law

Federal Law on Taxi No. 69-FZ, in its final version of 2015, established a list of 4 documents required to obtain a taxi license and significantly simplified the procedure for obtaining it. One license (one permit) is issued for one vehicle (vehicle).

List of documents presented by the applicant:

• An application drawn up in the approved form;
• A copy of the identity card of the applicant (his representative);
• A copy of the document on registration with tax authorities(extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs);
• A copy of the vehicle registration certificate (PTS, copy of the leasing agreement, lease agreement or general power of attorney).

The list of documents is final and valid throughout the Russian Federation. Regional or municipal authorities do not have the right to change it. The application can now be sent to the relevant authorities online (using the website public services), and receive a completed permit by mail.

Compared to the norms of the previous taxi law Law 69-FZ gives significant relief to entrepreneurs who decided to engage in this field of activity:

• You can obtain a taxi permit not only for your own car, but also for a vehicle that is officially leased or used by proxy. Refusal to obtain a permit must be unconditionally motivated by the authority that is authorized to issue it. Refusal is possible only if the applicant provides false information about himself or the car;
• To obtain a license, a three-year driving experience is required (previously it was 5 years);
• The technical inspection for taxi cars is being unified with the technical inspection of personal vehicles, the requirement for the mandatory presence of a maintenance coupon in the car is canceled (previously the inspection had to be done once every six months);
• It is allowed to carry out interregional transportation of passengers even in the absence of special agreements between regions, if the taxi delivery address is located in the region in which the license was obtained (previously, transportation could only be carried out within the territory of one’s own region). If there are appropriate agreements between regions, passengers can be boarded and transported in another region.

Since January 2015, legal provisions have come into force to regulate the color design of taxi bodies in those regions where local authorities had previously established such requirements. According to the new law on its territory regional authorities has the right to approve several color options for taxis. Another innovation that came into force in 2015 relates to the mandatory installation of a taximeter in taxis in cases where the payment for a trip depends on the time or actual mileage of the trip, and is not a fixed amount (an approved tariff). Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs with taxi permits are required to carry out the following activities:

• timely technical inspection of the vehicle;
• daily monitoring technical condition the vehicle before it goes on the route;
• medical checkup taxi drivers to allow them to drive vehicles.

Features of licensing taxi activities

The issuance of permits (licenses) for taxis in each region is carried out by a special authorized body. Most often, such a body is a regional division of the Ministry of Transport - the Committee on Transport of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The permit is valid for at least 5 years. A reasoned refusal to issue a permit must be provided within 1 month from the date of submission of the application.

If the registration data of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur changes, it is allowed to re-issue a license. If the permit is lost, the deadline for its restoration is 10 days from the date of submission of the application. The authorized body maintains a register of all issued permits and is obliged to place it in the public domain on the pages of its website.

If violations are detected in the activities of taxis, the authorized body (usually a regional division of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate) has the right to issue license holders with orders to eliminate violations within a period not exceeding 1 month. In turn, permit holders are required to submit reports to the authorized body on the elimination of violations (compliance with the requirements of the regulations) before the expiration of the regulations. Failure to comply with these requirements or discrepancy between the report data and the actual state of affairs may lead to the revocation of the taxi license.

Revocation of a taxi permit is possible and for other reasons:

• repeated (during the validity period of the license) violation of taxi charter rules on the territory of other regions (if appropriate agreements have not been concluded between the regions);
• repeated violation of the provisions of the law on taxis in terms of requirements for the car (presence of a color scheme in the form of “checkered” checkers on the sides, an identification light “Taxi” on the roof of the vehicle and a taximeter in the cabin, as well as compliance of the color of the vehicle with the color established for taxi cars in this region);
• driving a taxi by a driver with less than 3 years of experience;
• a taxi driver commits an accident resulting in death or causing grievous bodily harm.

Having a valid license in a taxi car is prerequisite to allow a taxi to carry passengers. Administrative liability for violation of this requirement is determined by the Administrative Code - fine up to 30 thousand rubles. Specific amounts of other fines for various violations in taxi activities are given in Article 3 of Federal Law No. 69-FZ (or in Articles 11 and 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

How to “get around” the taxi law

Many individual drivers who were previously involved in the illegal transportation of passengers in passenger vehicles and who today want to make this type of activity more legal, but are not ready to register an LLC or individual entrepreneur, are interested in the question of how to “bypass” the law on taxis without the direct danger of being subjected to serious administrative penalties from regulatory authorities.

In fact, the law leaves several minor loopholes that allow semi-legal taxi drivers to circumvent some of its requirements. This concerns both the issues of special equipment of cars for taxi tasks, conducting financial transactions with clients, and the procedure for implementing mandatory measures for the admission of cars and drivers to the route.

If previously the taxi law prohibited issuing licenses for cars that were not the property of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur, the new law does not contain such restrictions. This means that entrepreneurs can obtain taxi permits for a large number of cars rented or issued under a general power of attorney. Thus, former private owners with their personal cars are involved in taxi activities, with whom the entrepreneurs simply enter into an employment contract.

Equipping a car with the necessary attributes of a taxi does not present any difficulty (with the exception of the color requirement, if applicable in the region), since all these devices and accessories are removable, and the Law does not impose any standard requirements on them. This applies to the roof sign, color stripes on the sides (can be magnetic or simple stickers), and even the taxi meter.

There are no clearly stated requirements in the Law for the procedures for technical control of the condition of a vehicle before going on a route and medical examination of drivers, as well as for professional qualifications personnel who must carry out these activities.

The new taxi law N 69-FZ, on the whole, quite fully and efficiently fulfills its main purpose - civilized regulation of the activities of numerous enterprises that carry out paid transportation of passengers by passenger cars. by car, on the territory of all regions of the Russian Federation. And some of its minor shortcomings and gaps will most likely be carefully analyzed and eliminated by introducing new changes and additions in the future.

Every taxi driver has a panic button. They travel through the back streets more than employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the FSB. Cars have become more expensive, spare parts have become more expensive, gasoline has become more expensive and taxi services are becoming cheaper.

There is smog in the capital, but CIS citizens drive and live in cars!

Taxi driver Boris

Tell me in which country does this law work and for whom is it written? As the savages stood at the station, they still stand... As they were protected, so they are protected!

Only four out of ten of his articles are devoted to introducing amendments regarding the operation of taxis. But these amendments significantly reform the entire system of taxi transportation, which is why the document received the unofficial name of the “Taxi Law.”

Filled the yards taxi cars. They stand around the clock! There are no spaces left for personal vehicles of owners and tenants in their own yards. Wholesale barriers - isolating yards - is not a solution! So, residents are paid for money: resident permits, public garages, and taxis are free in our yards? Why does the Law bypass something as important as parking and taxi ranks?

Question: Can I, while driving a rented, licensed taxi car, conduct (record) a video blog, with the consent of the passenger? Is this prescribed by law? After all, many modern cars are equipped with a hands-free system and, in fact, this can also distract you from the road

What is happening now in the “sent” taxis is a nightmare. Yandex, UBER, GET hire drivers remotely without seeing the drivers or the condition of the cars, while drivers are recruited bypassing 69 Federal Laws, namely, with driving experience of at least 6 months. These services also apparently don’t really care about the condition of the car. They sign contracts for the transportation of passengers; you will never know what time the custom-made car arrives; there is no one to complain to. The drivers come and are rude, the cars are dirty inside, the drivers smell. There is no additional insurance for passengers. And most importantly, I just can’t understand what kind of fuel they fill in, because... according to their prices...it should be water

• I apologize for the rudeness, I’ve been working in this field for 13 years, there are passengers who think I cry what I want and do it, but it’s your business to carry so it’s not a long time to bully the driver, there are enough provocateurs and I’m sure that a friendly passenger will clearly not be rude. So all sorts of cases happen, it’s just a long time to describe .But for the law, I want to say one thing: it was crude and will remain, and in not all regions, travel costs a lot of money. Our travel (not landing) is 50 rubles up to 3 km and gasoline is 40.15 It would be better to ask the deputies where our property of the people is and the law of the constitution is where things are happening

I absolutely agree with you. The fact is that they drive taxes in the country not to generate income, but to survive. As one taxi driver said: “I’m borrowing money from the car.” In fact, working as a taxi driver in your own car is unprofitable. And the more expensive the car, the neater the driver, the more legal the trip, the more loss. And the prices will definitely increase when the deputies finally defeat the people, depriving them of this opportunity for part-time work. Only monopolists will remain in the market. Not everyone can become a taxi driver, and ordering a taxi is the same. This is happiness...

If you want to drive in a brand new car, where the driver smells of Dior, the interior is fresh and they say to you “be nice”, then get ready to pay not like for a ride on a minibus!.. First, calculate how much it costs to maintain the car in proper condition when you Every day you carry different people for 12 hours a day, or even more. And the driver must be left to support his family, himself and the car, so that everyone is happy!

The main drawback of Law No. 69-FZ is that the license is issued for the car and not for the driver: if you change the car, apply for a new license. In civilized countries, a driver buys a taxi license and becomes the owner of the license for life; he can give it as a gift or sell it. In this case, if you crash or sell the car, the license remains valid until the end of your life and does not require registration for a new car. But Russia, as always, is ahead The entire planet cannot be understood with the mind.

Transportation of passengers by individual orders- popular and quite profitable activity small business that you can start without any special expenses. Until 2011, private drivers provided serious competition to legal taxis. Private owners not only did not pay taxes and fees, but did not always provide the comfort and safety of passengers.

If you are interested in this line of business, then in our article you will find out whether a taxi license is needed, what will happen if you work as a taxi without a license, and how to get a taxi permit.

Permission or license

There is no separate federal law on taxis, but the basic requirements for organizing such transportation were established by the law of April 21, 2011 N 69-FZ. In order to control the activities of taxis, regional authorities are obliged to maintain registers of carriers and units of transport that have received the right to this line of activity.

What is the name of the document that legalizes the activity of a passenger taxi - a license or a permit? Some confusion in this matter is caused by the fact that the license for Passenger Transportation really stands out, but it has nothing to do with taxis.

The issuance of such a license is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 2, 2012 No. 280, and according to these rules, a license is issued only for regular transportation of passengers in urban, suburban and intercity traffic. That is, this is transportation along routes by vehicles with a capacity of more than 8 passenger seats, which are also called minibuses.

And if we talk about transportation ordered by private individuals, then, as such, a taxi license does not exist; instead, a permit is issued to carry out activities for the transportation of passengers. A license for passenger transportation and a taxi permit are not synonyms, and not the name of the same document.

If you want to obtain the legal opportunity to transport passengers and luggage in passenger vehicles according to individual orders, then you will need a permit to transport passengers by passenger taxi, and not a license.

This is, for example, what the form looks like for checking issued taxi permits in Moscow and the region. From it you can find out the availability of information in the register not only of carriers, but also of each unit of transport that is allowed to transport passengers. There are similar registers for each region.

Is it necessary to open an individual entrepreneur to operate a taxi?

Is it possible to get a taxi permit without opening an individual entrepreneur? No, you can’t, permission is issued only to those individuals and organizations that are registered as a business entity.

A permit to transport taxi passengers (and this is only possible after registering an individual entrepreneur or LLC) can be obtained even if you have one car. Having received permission, you can connect to any dispatch service, including such a large one as Yandex taxi. In this case, you will always be provided with clients, but a certain percentage of revenue (about 15%) will have to be given away. Another option is to look for clients yourself, in which case you do not share with anyone.

To work in a taxi without registering an individual entrepreneur or LLC, you need to get a job on the staff of a carrier company according to employment contract. Everything is standard here - ordinary work under an employment contract on a schedule and under the control of the employer with a salary.

If you find in an advertisement offers of assistance in obtaining a license for a taxi without an individual entrepreneur, then this is either fraud, or when you apply, it turns out that you can rent a car from a legal carrier that has a permit. This option is also called renting a taxi with a license, although we found out above that this is not entirely true.

For renting a car entered in the register, carriers with permission charge a fee - from 1,500 rubles per day. There are also options for paying the driver a certain percentage of the revenue. At the same time, the car belongs to and is registered with the carrier company, which is responsible for its maintenance.

How to obtain permission to transport passengers and luggage

We would like to remind you that only a registered taxi driver can obtain a taxi permit. individual entrepreneur or organization. You must apply for permission to the authorized government agency(this may be the Ministry of Transport for the region or the Department road facilities and transport).

A taxi permit is valid only in the territory of the region where it was issued, except in situations where the destination ordered by the passenger is outside this subject of the Russian Federation.

Statement and others Required documents can be submitted via regional portal government and municipal services, so you need to obtain a password in advance to access the government services website.

A permit to operate a taxi is issued for a period of five years, in contrast to a license for passenger transportation, which is unlimited. As for the issuance fee, it depends on the region. In Moscow, permits are issued free of charge, in St. Petersburg for a nominal fee of 320 rubles.

The law of April 21, 2011 N 69-FZ does not impose any special requirements on transport; it is enough that the car has an orange identification lamp on the roof; color scheme (checkerboard); taximeter. As for the color of the car itself, this also depends on the region. For example, in Moscow there is also a special city law on taxis, which obliges them to have only a yellow body.

The applicant (individual entrepreneur or LLC) wishing to obtain a transportation permit must provide Maintenance and repair of their cars, monitor their condition before leaving the line, as well as the drivers undergoing a medical examination before the trip. A taxi driver can only be a person who has a total driving experience of at least three years.

The package of documents, in addition to the application itself, includes:

• a copy of the passport of the applicant (entrepreneur or director of an LLC) or his representative;
• copies of registration certificates of vehicles that will be used to transport passengers;
• a copy of the leasing or rental agreement, if the vehicle is not owned by the applicant.

Answers to other questions about obtaining a taxi permit can be obtained on the regional websites of the authorized government agencies themselves. Here, for example, there is everything necessary information in Moscow.

Operating a taxi without a license or permit

For now, fines for transporting passengers without permission are not so high - 5,000 rubles under Art. 12.3 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. However, there is a nuance here that not everyone pays attention to. The commented article has the following wording: “...without permission...”.

That is, a fine of 5,000 rubles is collected if a permit was issued, but at the time of the inspection the driver did not have it with him. If a taxi permit was not issued at all, then the sanction for such an offense is indicated in Article Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It provides not only a fine of 2,000 to 2,500 rubles, but also the possible confiscation of a production tool, in this case a car. This opinion was expressed in the Review judicial practice Supreme Court for the 4th quarter of 2013.

In addition, on the last day of last 2016, deputies introduced bill No. 69583-7, which tightens liability for operating a taxi without a permit. The bill has not yet even passed the first reading, but if it is adopted in the proposed version, the amount of administrative sanctions will be as follows:

• for transporting passengers without a taxi permit: 30,000 rubles per driver, and in case of repeated violation - the same fine and deprivation of rights for a period of 3 to 6 months;
• for transferring a transportation order to a driver who does not have a taxi permit, the dispatch service is punished with a fine of 350,000 to 450,000 rubles, and the official - in the amount of 45,000 rubles (instead of a fine, suspension of activities for a period of 14 to 90 days is possible).

Control over the activities of taxis is entrusted to police officers and government agencies in the field of road infrastructure and transport.

Do you need a taxi permit in 2017?

Due to the increasing frequency of accidents, the state is tightening rules for taxi drivers. Now, driving a cab is not considered a part-time job, and anyone who wants to be a taxi driver after their main job can be fined a serious amount. Carrying out activities for transporting citizens in a passenger car is permitted only after obtaining a special permit, be it a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur. Thus, taxi is a full-time job that requires registration of social guarantees and work book employee.

No relaxation in the law is expected, registration of a license- a mandatory item for any driver planning to start a cab service, and there can be no exceptions. This is how the state wants to protect citizens from dishonest companies that neglect the safety of customers for the sake of profit. An example is calling a taxi via SMS, when the order comes to the driver who has paid for participation in the program, while there are no guarantees that he has a driving experience sufficient to obtain the right to carry out such activities, as well as evidence that he can drive vehicle. So, in order to “bomb” you need to register your activities as an individual entrepreneur and go through the procedure of obtaining a license. Is it possible to legally transport people without registering as an individual entrepreneur?

Is it possible to get a license without an individual entrepreneur?

The procedure for issuing permits for taxis without an individual entrepreneur is established and regulated regulations, which in its meaning contradicts the basic law. In practice, a “license without an individual entrepreneur” is the issuance of licenses to those drivers who are employed as a taxi driver in an enterprise that is a legal entity or individual entrepreneur. Thus, a license can be obtained by a driver working as a taxi driver in a company that has the right to engage in passenger and freight transportation.

How to get a taxi license?

To obtain permission to transport people in a passenger car, you will need to contact the Ministry of Transport or another authorized body in your region. You can find out exactly where to go at the district administration.

Package of documents for obtaining a license

The request is formalized by an application, which is filled out on the spot. The form of the document is established by the registering organization. Copies of the documents listed below are attached along with the application.

List of documents required to be presented to the authorized body:

• a copy of the document on registration with tax service (extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs);
• copy of the car document(copy of rental or leasing agreement, general power of attorney, PTS);
• copy of the passport.

The application for a license can be submitted in person or sent online to the authorized body (via the government services website), and you can receive the finished document by mail. You can contact a special company for help in obtaining a license, however, this will require additional financial costs.

License

The period for consideration of the application does not exceed one month from the moment the request is made. If the decision is positive, the driver will be issued a license for a period of five years (the period is the same for all constituent entities of the Russian Federation).

• vehicle information;
• owner details;
• information about the entity that issued the license;
• information about the company where the driver works as a taxi driver;
• individual number;
• place and date of issue.

The cost of the license is not precisely determined and depends on the region, in which it is issued because the federal law does not contain information about the cost of such a document. There is also no information on the amount of state duty for obtaining a license.

In the majority settlements the cost of a taxi license varies between 4,000–7,000 rubles, however, in larger cities (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod) it can reach 10,000 rubles.

Revocation of taxi permit

Reasons for license revocation:

• the taxi driver has less than three years of experience;
• the driver had an accident with fatal or causing serious harm to health;
• repeated violation of the taxi law;
• if the violations identified by the inspectors on the part of the taxi driver were not corrected within the prescribed period (usually 1 month).

Features of taxi licensing

Basic moments:

• the permit is valid for five years;
• in case of loss of a document, the period for its restoration should not exceed 10 days;
• You can obtain permission not only for your own car, but also for a vehicle leased or operated by proxy;
• the register of issued permits must be posted on the website of the authorized body and available for viewing;
• The law does not prohibit issuing licenses for cars that are not the property of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity.

Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities with a taxi permit are required to:

• carry out timely technical inspection of the vehicle;
• Conduct a daily medical examination of drivers to allow them to drive vehicles;
• Carry out inspections of the vehicle's technical condition every day before putting it on the road.

Requirements for a car and a taxi driver

To obtain a permit, the driver and vehicle must meet a number of requirements.

• A taximeter must be installed in the car if the fee for services is not fixed, but is set based on the mileage or time of use of the taxi.
• A passenger vehicle must have a color graphic scheme (checkers) on the body and its side surfaces.
• The taxi must match the body colors, if there is such a requirement in the region.
• The vehicle must be equipped with an orange identification lamp.
• At least three years of experience as a car driver (previously five).

Fines for illegal taxi drivers

Previously, the fine for lack of permission was 5,000 rubles. In 2016, the traffic police inspector has the right to issue a fine of 30,000 rubles, if the taxi driver stopped by him does not present a permit document. In case of repeated violation, the taxi driver’s budget will be reduced by the same amount, in addition, a deprivation of license will follow for 6 months. Having permission to transport people in the car is a prerequisite. The fine for forgetfulness is also 30,000 rubles.

In addition, it will be more difficult for private traders to find work, in 2016, the state wants to introduce a fine for mobile services for transferring orders to taxi drivers without a license.

Another innovation of 2016 is that the absence of compulsory motor liability insurance is now recorded by automatic video surveillance cameras. We recommend renewing your policy two weeks before its expiration date.

To obtain a taxi license, you must contact the authorized body, provide the necessary documents and write an application. Within a month, if a positive decision is made, it will be possible to carry out activities to transport people legally. It is mandatory to have a valid license in the vehicle. Those who do not want to obtain permission and continue to “bomb” in circumvention of the law risk not only incurring large financial expenses, but also losing their rights for a long period.
