Development of legislation on human trafficking
In Russia, Article 127.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for human trafficking in the form in which it is presented now appeared only in 2003.
And throughout the world, acts banning slavery and any other types of human exploitation began to appear only in the twentieth century. The first important document dealing with this topic was the Slavery Convention, adopted in Geneva in 1926. Later it was supplemented with new items. In the late 1940s, a new act appeared that dealt with human trafficking and exploitation of prostitution.
Important! With the development of information technology and the network of international criminal connections, it has become increasingly difficult to detect crimes and find missing people. More and more new schemes for transporting live goods were created.
In this regard, realizing the need to bring domestic norms to a common form, in 2000 the UN adopted a new extensive document on the fight against transnational organized crime, as well as additional protocols to this Convention, including on combating the smuggling of migrants, trafficking in persons, especially women and children.
Unfortunately, even with international cooperation, crimes continue to occur on a massive scale.

Article 127.1. Trafficking in persons of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
To trade on the street, you need to register your business. Not everyone needs an online cash register
Before contacting the administration, you must be legalized.
Register a business
Trade generates income on which taxes must be paid. Therefore, before starting work, you need to register with the tax office. The options are as follows:
- Open an IP. The option with an individual entrepreneur is suitable if you resell goods, rent things or provide services. Also, if you plan, hire a salesperson. An individual entrepreneur pays taxes under a simplified taxation system or buys a patent. Plus, he pays contributions to the Pension Fund for himself and his employees.
- Open an LLC. Typically, an LLC is opened to conduct business with partners, and the income received is divided. Companies operate on a general or simplified taxation system, pay contributions for employees and maintain accounting records.
- Register as self-employed through the My Tax mobile application. This is the easiest and fastest way to legalize a business. Self-employed people pay 4-6% of revenue, do not keep accounts and do not submit reports. Suitable only if you sell goods of your own production and do not hire employees.
For business without registration, you are fined in the amount of 500 to 2000 rubles under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If everything is revealed, this fine will be added to the fine for spontaneous trading.
!
Sometimes you can trade at a street fair without registering a business, just as an individual. This point needs to be clarified with the organizers.
Notify Rospotrebnadzor, if necessary.
If you plan to sell retail, prepare food, or your outdoor activity is related to sports, you need to send a notification to Rospotrebnadzor about the start of your activity. This is stated in the Government Decree of July 16, 2009. No. 584.
The notification is taken personally to the territorial department of your city, sent by mail or submitted through the MFC.
If you do not submit a notification, you will be fined up to 20,000 rubles under Art. 19.7.5-1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Notification form
Understand the online cash register
In most cases, street vendors are exempt from online cash registers under Art. 2 54-FZ. You can work without a cash register when:
— trade from trays, carts or in passenger train cars;
- you sell non-food products in outdoor markets, except for goods from this list - there are clothes, rubber and plastic products and sporting goods;
— you sell ice cream or drinks through a kiosk without a sales area;
— you repair shoes or make keys;
- registered as self-employed.
When selling self-produced goods (and providing services) for individual entrepreneurs without employees, there was a deferment until July 1, 2021.
Kontur.OFD, a service for transferring checks to the tax office, will help you connect and register a cash register.
For working without a cash register, you can receive a fine, which will be calculated from unaccounted revenue under clause 2 of Art. 14.5 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
