ENIndividual activity is an independent activity in which a resident seeks to receive income or other economic benefits during a continuous period. It is possible to carry out the activities without establishing an enterprise, but by acquiring a business licence or taking out an individual activity certificate. Residents pursuing individual activities must pay personal income tax, public social security and statutory health insurance contributions. The amount of tax payable depends on the amount of income received, the type of activity chosen, the duration of the activity, the area of the activity, the desired social guarantees, etc. Object of the research: peculiarities of taxation of self-employed residents activity.
