Do I need a taxi permit in 2017?

Due to the increasing number of accidents, the state is tightening rules for taxi drivers. Now carting is not considered a part-time job, and everyone who wants to be a taxi driver after the main job can be fined a serious amount. It is allowed to carry out activities for the transportation of citizens by car only after obtaining a special permit, whether entity or IP. Thus, a taxi is a full-fledged job that requires registration of social guarantees and work book worker.

No relaxation of the law is foreseen. registration of a license- a mandatory item for any driver who is going to take up transportation, and there can be no exceptions. So the state wants to protect citizens from dishonest companies that, for the sake of profit, neglect the safety of customers. An example is calling a taxi by SMS, when an order is received by a driver who has paid for participation in the program, while there is no guarantee 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 activity as an individual entrepreneur and go through the procedure for obtaining a license. Is it possible to legally transport people without registering an IP?

Is it possible to get a license without an IP?

The procedure for issuing permits for taxis without individual entrepreneurs is established and regulated regulations, which is contrary to the basic law. In practice, a “license without an IP” is the issuance of licenses to those drivers who are employed as a taxi driver in an enterprise that is a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur. So, a driver who works as a taxi driver in a company that has the right to engage in passenger and freight transportation can obtain a license.

How to get a taxi license?

To obtain permission to transport people by 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 in the district administration.

A package of documents for obtaining a license

The request is made out by an application, which is filled in on the spot. The form of the document is established by the registering organization. Copies of the following documents are attached with the application.

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

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

An application for a license can be submitted in person or sent via the Internet to an authorized body (via the website public services), and receive the finished document by mail. For assistance in obtaining a license, you can contact a special company, however, this will require additional financial costs.

License

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

  • vehicle information;
  • owner data;
  • information about the entity that issued the license;
  • data 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 exactly defined and depends on the region, in which it is issued, since the federal law does not contain information about the cost of such a document. There is also no information on the amount of the state duty for issuing a license.

Most 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.

Taxi permit revocation

Reasons for revoking a license:

  • the taxi driver has less than three years of experience;
  • driver involved in an accident lethal outcome or causing serious bodily harm;
  • repeated violation of the taxi law;
  • if the offenses identified by the inspectors on the part of the taxi driver were not corrected in due time (usually 1 month).

Features of Taxi Licensing

Basic moments:

  • the period of validity of the permit is five years;
  • in case of loss of the document, the period for its restoration should not exceed 10 days;
  • you can get permission not only for your own car, but also for a vehicle that is rented 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 the issuance of licenses for cars that are not the property of individual entrepreneurs or legal entities.

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 the vehicle;
  • exercise control technical condition vehicle daily before being released onto 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 service fee is not fixed, but is set based on the mileage or time the taxi is used.
  • A passenger vehicle must have a color graphic scheme (checkers) on the body and its side surfaces.
  • Taxi must comply color schemes body, if there is such a requirement in the region.
  • The vehicle must be equipped with an orange identification lamp.
  • At least three years of driving experience (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. In case of repeated violation, the taxi driver's budget will decrease by the same amount, in addition, deprivation of rights for 6 months will follow. The presence of a permit for the transportation of people in the passenger compartment of the car is 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 OSAGO is now registered by automatic surveillance cameras. We recommend renewing the policy two weeks before its expiration date.

To obtain a taxi license, you must contact the authorized body, provide the necessary package of documents and write an application. Within a month, if a positive decision is made, it will be possible to carry out activities for the transportation of people on legal grounds. It is mandatory to have a valid license in the car. Those who do not want to get 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 time.

In the fall of 2011, federal law No. 69 came into force, regulating the rules for passenger transportation. Consider what taxi rules you need to follow if you decide to open.

1. Every driver is required to have a work permit.

According to the new rules, all drivers must have the appropriate permit (taxi license). It can be obtained from the regional executive authority, usually the Ministry of Transport. Such permits are issued both to legal entities (taxi services with their own fleet of vehicles) and private cab drivers (individual entrepreneurs).

A taxi permit must always be present in the car

New requirements for taxi drivers suggest that in the case when a document is issued to an individual, he must be registered as an individual entrepreneur. It was this rule that caused the greatest resonance among carriers, since drivers were not ready to take on a significant tax burden, especially those who used the car as a part-time job. But the law is the law.

The rules for the carriage of passengers in a taxi determine that the permit is valid for 5 years, and the cost of obtaining it is from 0 to 5000 rubles. depending on the region of Russia.

For exact information, please refer to the legislation or regulation of your own region.

2. Each driver must undergo a mandatory medical examination before going on a flight.

Taxi transportation regulations suggest that the safety of passengers should be at the forefront. This is expressed in the fact that the driver (or service) must conclude an agreement with the medical service, which every day will issue a special certificate of passing a medical examination and admitting the driver to the service. When checking documents, the traffic police officer may ask if you have the appropriate medical certificate.

Requirements for taxi cars

  • Color scheme on board the body. It should consist of squares of a contrasting color, placed in a checkerboard pattern. Depending on the frequency and duration of the car as a taxi, the pattern can be applied using magnetic elements, stickers or using paint.

The color scheme in the form of checkers must be present on the side surfaces of the car.

  • Yellow or orange light lantern with identifying elements (“taxi checkers”) applied to it. Such a lamp is a light structure installed on the roof of a car with a plastic light-scattering box. The mount most often has a magnetic base, which allows you to install and remove the structure within 1-2 minutes. Along with the use of chess elements, taxi services often put their phone and logo on the lantern box for advertising purposes.
  • certain colors for cars. Such a requirement is typical only for several regions of Russia, for example, Tatarstan. However, its application in practice has not yet become widespread and still causes a lot of controversy among legislators.

It is worth noting that these requirements in general can be positively applied in terms of advertising your own taxi.

2. Each taxi car must undergo a mandatory technical inspection once every six months.

According to the rules for the transportation of passengers by passenger taxis, all cars in service must undergo a full technical inspection at least once every six months.

Every day different areas entrepreneurial activity subject to regulatory pressure. Similarly, tax audits have become more frequent in the taxi sector, and the frequency of license checks has increased. Legislation has significantly tightened the procedure for the operation of the taxi-motor sphere of entrepreneurship. Therefore, the law "On Taxi" and amendments to it should be familiar to every taxi driver. But few people have time to keep track of the fluidity of changes and additions that are constantly being made to its structure. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the most latest changes, knowledge of which will help protect yourself in future work.

Law "On Taxi", main provisions

the federal law" ABOUT state regulation activities for the transportation of passengers and luggage by passenger taxis in Russian Federation and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" - popularly known as the Law "On Taxi". New law about taxi in 2016 has made significant changes in the work of private carriers. In particular, according to him, fines for illegal carriers have been tightened and decreased for legal taxi drivers.

Interesting fact! The first taxis, according to some sources, appeared in ancient Rome. These were chariots with a kind of taximeter in the form of a basin, into which a pebble fell after every 200 meters - then the pebbles were counted and payment was made.

The taxi dispatch service, which is regulated by this law, is responsible for the transfer of orders to illegal taxi drivers and for the quality of the services that this service provides. In addition, now the distribution of revenue between taxi drivers and the dispatch service will be more equitable.

According to the same law "On Taxi", the taxi car must be painted in yellow, white, or one of the other four colors that have been determined by the local authorities. Moreover, the taxi service must operate under a separate license for each car and driver. If the driver does not have a license, then he faces a rather impressive fine.

Interesting fact! The first taximeter in Russia appeared in late XIX century.

This law gave taxi drivers the opportunity to serve and government bodies, which should significantly reduce waste public funds for the rental and maintenance of cars of officials.

To speed up the receipt of this kind of permit, before submitting documents, it is better to call this structure back and clarify the necessary documents, as they may be supplemented, depending on the region.

However, according to the Taxi Law, you definitely need certain documents when applying for a permit.

Important!When leaving the track, the taxi driver must always have a notarized copy of the work permit with him.

First of all, you need an application, because without it, no one will issue you a license. It can be submitted in writing or electronically, whichever is more convenient for you. The application must contain information about the enterprise (if any), or about an individual entrepreneur, contact numbers, place of registration and taxpayer identification number.

The application must be accompanied by a copy of the identity document of the applicant or the applicant's representative (for legal entities), a copy registration documents vehicles that the applicant will use to transport passengers, and if the vehicle was purchased under a leasing or lease agreement, or transferred by proxy, a copy of these documents must be attached to the application. Also, depending on the region, you will need to pay a state fee, this is approximately from 0 to 5000 rubles.

The public authority assumes the authority to refuse to issue the desired permit in cases where you have submitted false information or the vehicle is already registered.

A taxi license is issued for 5 years. If the entrepreneur has lost it, or for some reason it has worn out, etc., a duplicate will be issued for the remaining time.

Vehicle Requirements

To obtain a permit for the carriage of passengers, the car must comply with certain standards, which are also defined in the new law "On Taxi" 2016.

First of all, the vehicle must have the appropriate identification color. On the car body, on the sides, contrasting squares in a checkerboard pattern should be applied. Usually, it is black and some separate contrasting color.

The color of the taxi is set in each region separately. Authorities have the right to define up to three colors. So, when applying for a license, it is necessary to clarify the issue of the color of taxi cars in your region.

Important!A prerequisite for a taxi car is the presence of an orange lamp, which, however, is the main attribute of a taxi, especially at night.

Also, you will most likely have to get a taximeter - this is a more convenient (for both the passenger and the taxi driver) means of calculating the fare. The passenger will know the exact fare, and the driver will protect himself from scandals and discontent.

Whatever the rumors, the taxi should not be equipped with a tachograph or GLONASS.

How to bypass the law "On Taxi"

We all remember how, back in 2015, cars with checkers of an incomprehensible color, orange sponges, etc. were cruising the cities. The 2016 Law on the Regulation of Private Transportation and amendments to the Law on Taxi made the situation much tougher.

For a taxi driver, an individual entrepreneur, it has become difficult and expensive to "taxi". You need to earn money, but what kind of earnings is it, especially in small towns where fees of up to 5,000 rubles are levied for registering a taxi. True, an individual entrepreneur is cheaper in taxes than a separate enterprise with its own dispatch service and fleet, but for an ordinary taxi driver this amount is quite impressive.

Illegal taxis, as a way to avoid responsibility and big waste, has become a Mecca for most entrepreneurs of this kind. Although, you can always try to get along with the law in the role of an enterprise.

To do this, a legal entity is created that specializes in the order service, and there can be no question of any taxi service.

Separate individual entrepreneurs, use the services of this company as an intermediary between the client and the taxi driver himself, who is simply registered as an individual entrepreneur. There is no fact of creating a taxi company, taxes are paid regularly. True, when creating this kind of organization, you will have to get used to frequent lawsuits and undermining state bodies, and also be sure to get a lawyer. Most claims of this kind will be groundless and, as usual, subject to appeal.

Since 2011, significant amendments have been made to the "taxi" legislation, resulting in modern look this service. The Law "On Taxi" makes it possible to carry out licensing of private entrepreneurs almost painlessly. The only negative was the large expenditure of individual entrepreneurs for maintenance, registration and medical examination, and if in large cities, such as Moscow, St. at least for most private cabbies.

Interesting fact! In 2016, Fujisawa City will conduct an experiment to operate a taxi without a driver.
