Information on the tax identification number of the legal entity in the Internal Revenue Service. We request a certificate of state registration

Often companies provide incomplete data, or simply do not carefully check their own data in documents, while in some cases, for example, when concluding an agreement, it is necessary to indicate the full details of the counterparty, including TIN and, as a rule, OGRN. In this article we will talk about what the main state registration number and how to find it using your taxpayer identification number.

What is OGRN and why is it needed?

Today there are many different ways identify the company.

So, for example, you can find out information about an organization using OKPO - this is all-Russian classifier enterprises and organizations. Any company, be it entity or an individual entrepreneur, has a code of eight or ten digits, which is assigned at the time of registration of a legal entity. Also, information about the company is “protected” in the OGRN code, which indicates that the enterprise is included in the state register.

Before the introduction of the main state registration number by the Federal Law “On Registration of Legal Entities,” it was possible to verify a company only using the TIN, which stores basic information: data on the organization’s affiliation with a certain body of the Federal Tax Service and registration information in this department.

A search by OGRN provides more information. OGRN consists of 13 digits, each group of which has its own purpose and contains encrypted information about:

• the year the organization was registered;
• subject of the Russian Federation and local registration authority;
• record number.

The first digit indicates the nature of the entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities - initial registration or change of data. The second and third are the last two digits of the year the entry was made. The fourth and fifth are the number of the subject of the Russian Federation in which it was issued registration document with a unique number. The sixth and seventh characters correspond to the number of the interdistrict tax office who issued the number. The next 5 digits are the number of the entry on registration of a legal entity in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in the year the entry was made. The last 13th digit is the control digit.

What does check digit mean? The organization number is a combination that is easy to verify. To find out the reality of the number, simply divide the first 12 digits of the identifier by 11. The remainder must match the last digit. This way you can quickly verify the validity of the company registration number.

OGRN is indicated:

• in all entries in the state register related to this legal entity (organization, company, enterprise);
• in documents confirming the entry of relevant entries into the state register;
• in all documents of this legal entity along with its name;
• in information about state registration published by registration authorities.

Once you know the company registration number, you can find out:

• whether the enterprise actually exists;
• authenticity of company documentation;
• Full name of the person heading the company;
• presence in negative registers of the tax inspectorate;
• business reputation of the manager;
• legal address;
• individual taxpayer code.

Question " how to find a person by TIN» is asked quite often on the Internet. Why does this particular document become the object of close attention and is considered as an opportunity to search for personal data? The answer is simple - because a TIN is assigned to everyone. The main source of data is the tax service. But how can you search using it if a person’s data is confidential?

Let's take a closer look. And at the same time we will find out what such a document as a taxpayer identification number actually looks like.

TIN of an individual

It is issued to each person and contains a certain set of numbers that encrypts information about the taxpayer. The set of digital values ​​is individual and is not repeated within the territory of the Russian Federation.

Accordingly, since the rule applies confidential information, then you simply won’t be able to find freely accessible information on the Internet without bypassing the rules.

Check by TIN number

Legal entities and self-employed persons, just like individuals, are issued a TIN. But it’s still possible to find information about them by number. About activities, about different encodings. And if an individual is not engaged in business, then there is no data about him for everyone else.

It's important to understand the difference here. If you have lost your own TIN, then restoring a document of even this level will not be a problem. We just write an application to the federal tax service and wait for the due date.

But if the object of your “close interest” is another person, then the tax office will only look at you suspiciously.

What can you learn from an individual’s TIN number?

As we have already written, the TIN number is a 12-digit code that hides information about a person as a taxpayer in the Russian Federation. Firstly, which is the easiest thing - you can find out your last name, first name and patronymic. This is not yet classified information. There are even many electronic services that cope with the task of issuing a full name by TIN.

But what else can you find out if you have the numbers in your hands:

1. Firstly, the region in which this document was issued to the citizen. The first four digits in the number are responsible for it.
2. Secondly, if we look at the next six digits, we get the access number to the citizen’s personal data. Yes, this is not the data itself, but it is something.
3. And the last two digits of the entire twelve-digit document number are the access number to simplified data of the same type.

Check the TIN of an individual on the official website of the tax office

What will it take? First, go to the site itself. On this website (we are talking, let us remind you, about the official electronic resource of the Federal Tax Service) we are looking for a special form to fill out. What will this give us? What we can see is how a citizen feels about paying his taxes. That is, does he have debts? In some cases, such a simple check can give a lot, and at least save you from making the wrong choice in terms of trust. When it comes to finances, it is better to know who you are dealing with.

But more details:

• We go to the tax office website and register (you should read more about full registration).
• We log in using our data (this includes date of birth, SNILS number, registration, and passport information).
• Fill out the TIN data request form. Here you must indicate your email, since the answer will be received within five days from the date of submission of the request.

In the case where the TIN refers to the person who is the applicant, no problems will arise. You won't even give money for it.

Check TIN of an individual online

As mentioned earlier, with entrepreneurs everything is much simpler. With individuals it is more difficult, especially if you are looking for data other than your TIN. There are some simple tips.

• Do not use unverified sites. And it's not even about viruses. If you do not resort to the official resources of departments, you may end up in a situation where your data ends up in the hands of a third party who can use it for, let’s say, unacceptable purposes. Therefore, only the Federal Tax Service portal.
• There are many pages that offer to give you a person’s data using a TIN number, provided that you pay a symbolic amount for it. Again, it's not worth it. What you get on your computer screen may just be a collection of random data. And the online format of the federal tax service at a minimum it will protect you from information leakage.
• Sites that ask you to enter your phone number for information. The same as the previous point, only after entering the phone number, and then the access code sent to it, with a 99 percent probability you will lose some of the funds from the account. Whether you will get the data in the end or not is an open question.
• The only portal other than the Federal Tax Service where you can definitely get this service is the government services portal. How to work with it - read in our separate article. However, it also allows you to enjoy all the privileges.

But the question of how to find detailed information about an individual using the TIN number remains open. All because this moment- this is impossible. More precisely, it is impossible with the help of the Federal Tax Service. As we have already written, all information (except for full name) is confidential and cannot be distributed.

The only thing left for you is to use possible connections in government agencies, or purchase pirated content. But both methods are illegal!

Therefore, we can only be content with the fact that the full name and the number itself will be known, from the numbers of which you can find out something (but not much).

Another situation occurs when the taxpayer number does not belong to an individual, but to an individual entrepreneur or company.

Search for individual entrepreneurs by TIN

Once again, why are data from legal entities usually searched for? The main reason is to check the reliability of the partner. If you are an entrepreneur and are planning to enter into any kind of transaction, be it a transaction with business partner, or simply adding a new counterparty to the client database, you better play it safe. After all tax accounting in the field of entrepreneurship - extremely important factor, which affects the well-being of your company.

If you know the TIN of the organization, you will be able to request an extract from the register of legal entities. In addition, the following data will be available:

• OGRNIP and date of receipt of the certificate.
• Owner's full name.
• Date of liquidation or termination of activity (if any).
• City and direct branch of the department that processed the registration.
• Data about current activities (see also "?").
• Regulatory acts.

Again, data on the Internet will have a certain level of confidentiality. And although you can find out all the basic details of an individual entrepreneur, to get more, you will have to go to the tax office (in person or by proxy).

Well, the main thing that this will give us is that we will be able to check for tax arrears. To do this, on the Federal Tax Service portal, look for the “check yourself and your counterparty” section. This phrase can be entered into the search engine on the website.

Bottom line

It is possible to find basic information on the TIN. But in the case of an individual, this will only be his full name. And in the case of individual entrepreneurs - basic details and possible debts for unpaid taxes. You can only obtain more personal information through illegal methods. But often, more is not needed. Knowing whether your future partner is conscientious about paying taxes, you will be able to make decisions more thoroughly.

Statistics show us a not very pleasant fact: a transaction with every 20 organizations usually ends in losses only because the counterparty company did not check it for reliability. How to study the company's reputation and come to honest cooperation? Let's try to figure it out.

In what cases should counterparties be checked?

Verification of counterparties is usually carried out either by experienced businessmen or experienced lawyers. Do you know why? Because they have already understood that they need to work only with reliable companies and, moreover, only you are responsible for checking this reliability.

To ensure that there are no unpleasant situations when working with a counterparty, it is customary to “run” new partners through a whole list of checks. Moreover, there are a number of cases when such checks are mandatory:

1. If you decide to work with a new partner for the first time. Checking will help you avoid possible mistakes.
2. If you are aware that a potential counterparty is new company, which registered just recently. Of course, a new company by itself cannot bear risks, however, working with it can still do its best.
3. If you know that a potential counterparty is not very flatteringly spoken about. Of course, no one has canceled the evil language of competition, but still the old proverb says “trust, but verify.”
4. If a potential counterparty works exclusively on prepayment. By checking the company for reliability, you can protect yourself from under-delivery of goods or from providing low-quality services.

Company verification is separate service, which is provided by many organizations, however, with the proper skill and free time, you can do it yourself.

The relevance of checking the company's reliability for different areas business should not be questioned. Even in such a seemingly undeniably reliable activity as leasing, there are not entirely honest “players”.

What information can you get about a potential partner?

So, let's look at what information you can get about a company using simple Internet access. Most easy way- this is to go to the tax service website and use the search to find all necessary information there, or use the services of third-party resources, which, by the way, are sometimes paid.

Checking the TIN

The first thing that characterizes a company as a company that really works and works honestly is the TIN. If you have an organization’s TIN, then you can easily check how real it is. TIN, or individual tax number, is a code built using a special algorithm. If the company took it out of its head, then checking this number through any service convenient for you will not give any result.

The easiest way to check your TIN is to use the verification service on the tax service website (more details on this at the end of the article).

We request a certificate of state registration

Requesting a certificate of registration is the right way find out how realistic the activities of a potential counterparty are. This way we will find out whether the company actually exists, that is, whether it is registered with the Federal Tax Service as a taxpayer.

Of course, the presence of a certificate does not yet tell us that the company is very reliable. Maybe she has just ceased her activities, or maybe she does not submit reports, or is generally a tax debtor.

You can request a copy of the state registration certificate directly from the company, or again use the services of third-party resources.

We receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs

If you can get a fresh extract for the counterparty from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, this means that the organization is still afloat. Moreover, the extract contains all necessary information to verify the integrity of the organization: its owner, place of registration, licenses and other data.

The extract can be downloaded from the official website of the Russian Tax Service (which is much easier) or requested from potential partner. If you need a certified extract from the register, you can apply for it at any branch of the Russian Tax Service.

We analyze financial statements

An excellent tool for analyzing an organization is analyzing its financial statements. Request balance sheet from the counterparty, or use third-party services.

Using your balance, you can check several types of data at once:

• the company successfully closes quarters and submits reports;
• the company conducts business activities;
• What assets does the company own?

The assets of a company are, first of all, its authorized and other types of capital and liabilities. If a company has practically no assets, then this is a reason for you to think about whether it is worth connecting your business with it.

Also, if you know what you have planned big deal with a company, and its assets or turnover are very small compared to the amount of the transaction, then this is also a reason to think: most likely it hides part of the income, which also does not show it on the positive side.

Based on the balance, you can make a complete the financial analysis, which will not only be able to demonstrate the company’s development vector, but also understand how stable it is on its feet. If you need a reliable partner, then this is one of the main indicators.

Checking the registration address for “mass”

What do you know about mass registration address? Most likely nothing. However, this is one of the most basic signs of so-called fly-by-night companies. If you are afraid that your counterparty may be just such a company, then just check their address.

This can be done on the tax service website at service.nalog.ru/addrfind.do.

Most of companies are registered at one address, but are actually located at a completely different address. We also advise you to check the actual address of the company’s location - whether the partner’s office actually exists and what it is. If you have not previously worked with this partner and the amount of the planned transaction is high, then such a check will not be superfluous.

Checking tax arrears and reporting

If you doubt that your counterparty is playing honestly, then, just in case, ask the Federal Tax Service for information about the payment of taxes by this company.

What is it for? It's simple. If the case between you and your counterparty reaches arbitration, then your contact with the Federal Tax Service for additional information will be a huge plus. In order to record the fact of the application, the request must be submitted in person, and the Federal Tax Service office must mark the receipt of the request (or send the request by registered mail with notice).

Knowing his TIN, you can conduct such a check of the counterparty on the tax service website - service.nalog.ru/zd.do.

Taking into account the fact that this online service operates in test mode, you need to understand that the information received cannot be considered 100% reliable.

Government contracts

Government contracts are a great way to verify all the data about a prospective partner. Executing companies for such transactions are selected very strictly. So, for example, the executor cannot be a company that has debts. If a company sometimes enters into government contracts– this is an indicator of its reliability and stable position in the market.

You can check a company for participation in government procurement on the website zakupki.gov.ru, or on other electronic trading platforms.

People data

What kind of people are we talking about in this case? First of all, about the management and founders. So, along with mass registration, there is also such a thing as “mass leadership”. If a person is a director in several companies at once, then you have every reason to believe that the potential counterparty is a fly-by-night.

In addition to the fact that you will see how many companies a person manages, you will also have access to data about all the companies that he previously led. If you find out that many of the companies that a person led went bankrupt, then this is a reason to think: most likely, you are dealing with an unscrupulous company, which may not exist tomorrow.

It would be a good idea to check whether the manager is listed in the register of disqualified persons. This can be done on the tax service website - service.nalog.ru/disqualified.do.

Checking an organization by TIN on the website of the Tax Service of Russia

Let's try to figure out how to find and check a counterparty using the TIN on the tax service website. To do this, follow the link egrul.nalog.ru, or open home page resource and in the “Electronic Services” section, select “Business risks: check yourself and your counterparty.”

You already know by what parameters you can check a company through the resource of the tax service of the Russian Federation, so now we will look at the most common of the necessary checks - checking by TIN.

For example, we will check the TIN of PJSC GAZPROM. Don’t forget that in addition to checking legal entities, checking of individual entrepreneurs is also available there.

As you can see, everything is extremely simple. We enter the individual tax number in the required window and enter the captcha to confirm that we are not a robot.

The result is pleasing: the tax office immediately provides the company’s location address, its OGRN, INN, KPP, as well as the date of assignment of the OGRN:

conclusions

To avoid misunderstandings when working with a new counterparty, it is necessary to check its reliability. Such a check can easily be carried out on the official website of the Russian Tax Service or use other services.

Based on the results of the check, you can draw conclusions - whether you should start cooperation with a new company, or whether you need to cut off all ties right now.
