Tax and freelancers

    Hello.

    One unpleasant story happened to me, which, it turns out, already has legs. My father often told me that people who do not work with the brain work with their feet. Habrayuser amd_by already wrote about it. Perhaps I had read this before, this could help me, but why now wave my fists after the fight.

    I would like to talk about how and what I came across as a stupid, unreasonable and naive Minsk youth.


    Background


    As such, the freelancer of me is very mediocre. Not because I do poorly, but because I only completed two orders. In addition, I’m not a greedy person, and therefore, when a person knocked on me in ICQ and said that he wanted to order a site for a small budget, I agreed.
    Half a week the layout was developed, finalized and approved by the customer, after which we agreed to meet on Monday 31.05 (today).

    Development of events


    Once in the appointed place a little earlier than the scheduled time, I easily found the right car (the blue Volkswagen Passat wagon; tried to remember the numbers, but subsequently they disappeared from my head and now I just can’t remember). Immediately struck by the fact that in the back seat was a girl. Just in case, I called the customer. I don’t know if it’s the essence or not, but it also bothered me that the phone had switched from the back seat.
    I got into the car. Having said hello, the conversation immediately turned to guarantees. I presented my passport. The girl wrote off some data from him. The next detail that caught my eye, but whose price I still did not understand then, was to clarify the cost of the order and, in fact, the prepayment. Asking this question, he seemed to me to look somewhat ambiguously at the passenger seat, at the girl.
    Dear sirs, they also clarified how many orders I completed. I honestly replied that the two were friends of the family. I asked in a counter-question how I was found to be a performer. The “customer” probably didn’t understand much of this himself, but the girl did it. It turned out to be a "freelance". Given that nowhere, except on free-lance.ru I am not registered, we can conclude.
    By the way, the question “where did you find me, because I am from the village and nobody knows me?” Was asked on the very first day of the order, when the specification was only specified. "A colleague was looking for a performer." Well, so be it.
    After specifying (for the second time!) The amount, he counted the money (Belarusian rubles) and gave it to me. As soon as the money was in my wallet, the gentlemen in the car informed me that it was a test purchase. They also voiced the nature of their activity - the tax inspectorate - presented certificates.

    Further, I was informed that the whole conversation was recorded on the recorder. I asked to present the certificate again and, in fact, tried to carefully examine it. It really didn’t work out. Unless I remembered the names - the "customer" lied, it turns out.

    The girl (N., for brevity) called someone and within a couple of minutes while I met (in fact, it’s hard to say that I did this, because I was in some completely different reality), the documents in the car less space for two people.
    The first sat behind me and was mostly silent. Few talked to him, in general (and the “customer” himself took on the very passive role of some observer). The second (let it be A.), I still did not understand who should call me later and invite me to court.
    Gentlemen specified where I study. A. asked and advised how best to write an explanation on the question "How many orders were completed." Sometimes I joked. For example, to the question “what did you fulfill the order for” I considered it appropriate to answer “on the machine”. The gentlemen did not try to spread rot for me, and I did not try to rude or complicate their task. He answered, trying to maintain some kind of artificial atmosphere of friendliness, but pouring as much water as possible.

    Thoughts


    In general, there was no tension or pressure on me, which in itself is not bad. A. said that since I had no such offenses before, then most likely the fine will be in the range from 1 to 3 basic units. This is about $ 30.

    I’m lying, if I don’t say that I feel like a complete idiot. Analyzing this situation from the very beginning, I find more and more errors. Own mistakes. Let's see how the case will turn out in court. Judging by the experience of Mr. amd_by , a large amount was collected from him, which passed through Internet accounts. In my case, there have never been any accounts.

    I think that in the near future I will urgently take an interest in the opinions of lawyers, as well as individuals who can share some experience. Perhaps, after all, I will give rest to my feet.
