What is an organization's TIN: decoding and structure

TIN stands for Taxpayer Identification Number. Anyone who can work should have one. This number is used to control contributions to the Pension Fund. Also, all organizations and enterprises should have it.

The TIN is unchanged, it is considered a specific electronic card of each citizen or enterprise. TIN begins to operate at birth and throughout life. It does not change in case of a change of residence, change of surname, name, patronymic, and so on.

After a person dies, the TIN is considered invalid. Such a TIN cannot be assigned to another citizen. The same can be said about the liquidated organization.

Number structure

TIN is a set of numbers that are read from right to left and indicate the following data about the organization:

• 1-4 - code of the tax authority that assigned the TIN;
• 5-9 - taxpayer number;
• 10 – control number calculated according to a certain algorithm.

For individuals:

• 1-4 - the code of the tax authority that assigned the TIN;
• 5-10 - taxpayer number;
• 11-12 — control number, calculated according to a certain algorithm.

Search criteria

There are many different situations when you need to find information about a particular legal entity or enterprise. With the help of the TIN, you can easily find all the necessary information.

For organization

Often it is necessary to check the legal entity, for example, when making certain transactions.

Benefits of searching for an organization by TIN:

• obtaining more information about the enterprise;
• exercise caution before choosing a partner;
• security;
• clarification of the relationship between individuals and legal entities.

To search, it is best to use the FTS website www.nalog.ru or the Gouslugi website www.gosuslugi.ru. To do this, you need to know all 10 numbers, follow the steps and get the information you need.

For an entrepreneur

To find a specific entrepreneur, you need to enter the required criteria on the site. In this case, the taxpayer number. After that, you will receive the following information: full name of the entrepreneur, PSRN, address, date of commencement of activity, and so on.

By name

The name is not always unique, as many organizations have identical names. Therefore, it will be difficult to find an enterprise only on it.

To do this, you need to know some additional information, for example, legal form, name of the director, address of registration, and so on.

The easiest way to search for an organization's TIN is to enter the full name into a search engine and go to the company's official website.

Other details

There are many websites that help you find the information you need about an organization or entrepreneur. Sometimes it is suggested to enter only the address to get the information you need, but it will not always be true.

The TIN search can also be carried out using other details, for example, OKPO.

In order to find an enterprise using other details, you need to use such services as SKRIN, SPARK, Company 1C (it contains information about newly registered enterprises).

But there are details by which it will not work to find the taxpayer number:

1. Bank code(this requisite shows only which bank this or that company cooperates with).

Finding an organization with little information

Sometimes it happens that it is rather difficult to find the TIN of an enterprise, as there is not enough information. The official website of the Federal Tax Service will come to the rescue. It will require you to enter the tax region where the company is located.

It will take a lot of time to search in this way, since you need to review a bunch of options. When searching, select a function: individual entrepreneur or legal entity.

Next is selected name search method. All names are given without quotation marks. If the name is unique, then the result will immediately be found. If there are several companies, you will have to look through each one yourself.

If this service did not help, then you can do the following:

1. Write the name of the company on the website of the Federal Tax Service. From the list that appears, see organizations that are close to the desired type of activity.
2. Enter the name of the company in any search engine. This will help you find the official website of the organization, and on it the TIN.
3. If the previous two options did not save, then you will need to provide additional information about the enterprise, and then go back to the official website of the Federal Tax Service.

There is another method to find out the company's TIN - contact the tax office at the place of residence. To do this, you need to write an appropriate application.
Terms and cost:

• for a legal entity or individual entrepreneur (if he wants to find out information about his company) free of charge, within five working days;
• providing information about a specific individual entrepreneur or company - 200 rubles, term - 5 working days;
• provision of an urgent statement - 400 rubles, term - 2 working days.

It is also possible to receive an extract in electronic form. Many services provide this service for free. But such an extract is not confirmed by anything (it does not have a seal and a signature), but carries only informative information. If an extract is needed, for example, to the judicial or tax authorities, then an extract in electronic form will not be accepted from you.
