TIN is a set of numbers assigned to each taxpayer individually. This number allows you to identify those who give money to the state or receive it from him. That is, all citizens of Russia should have this identifier. To become the owner of an individual code, you must collect documents to obtain the TIN of an individual and send them to the authority involved in the "distribution of numbers."
What to carry with you? Who to contact? Think everyone already has a TIN? You are mistaken. This personal number is assigned to newborns and foreigners, it is changed at certain points and so on. Let's look at what documents to obtain the TIN of an individual are necessary in each case.
Why do I need a code
Let's face it: many are trying to save, not to pay the state the required share. The idea of the TIN is connected with this. It did not arise in Russia. Citizens of other countries are no different from the inhabitants of our state, therefore they also try to hide profits from taxation. Therefore, the government decided to designate each. Foreign residents before the Russians had to collect documents to obtain the TIN of an individual. This number is assigned to everyone on the planet. Without it, bank transactions are not made, funds are not accepted for transfer to other financial institutions. This is necessary to control the movement of funds.
Of course, first of all, an identifier is needed so that the state, as a system, can pick up the share due. Just do not consider him a robber. Any state has a lot of expenses, including social programs to support those who are not able to do without it. Therefore, taxes should be monitored. And citizens and foreigners can only find out what it takes to get a TIN, collect paper and not cheat the system. This also applies to the poor. The code will have to be presented in order to receive assistance from the state.
Where to get the TIN for an individual
The answer to this question is quite simple. You yourself probably already guessed that the code is necessary for controlling the movement of funds, collecting payments to the budget, therefore, it is assigned by the state institution that solves these problems. It is called the Federal Tax Service. You must contact her office at the place of residence. Today, the process of obtaining code has been simplified. Any citizen has the opportunity to apply for it online. To do this, you must register on the official website of the Federal Tax Service. Within two weeks, they will create a personal account and send a password.
This virtual office solves all the problems associated with receiving or replacing a code. There you can submit applications, send documents necessary for obtaining the TIN of an individual. But to get the code on hand, you have to go to the office in person. You need to sign for it. Mail the TIN to those who have email. By the way, if you change the code, then they accept payment in your personal account, so you do not have to apply a receipt.
Documents for obtaining the TIN of an individual for the first time
Let's move on to collecting papers. All sorts of nuances can also arise here. An ordinary citizen who wants to get a code must take with him an internal passport of the Russian Federation. The first time TIN is issued free of charge. The institution will have to fill out an application in the prescribed form. It is issued by a specialist to whom you will be admitted. The same person will tell you where and what to write. If the code is issued for a child, then everything is somewhat more complicated. The following documents are required to obtain the TIN of an individual:
- birth certificate;
- copy of the representative’s passport (for children under fourteen years old);
- document confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation of the child.
It is advisable to prepare everything in advance. Please note that if you begin to draw up a code for several children at the same time, then a copy of your passport will have to be attached to each application. Do as many as you can imagine.
How to change TIN
Let us turn to the cases when the code is lost, or you want to update it. This often happens in women who marry and accept the name of the spouse. You will have to not only collect the paper, but also deposit 200 rubles into a special account. This is a service charge. It is paid only when you re-apply for the code. The list of documents for obtaining the TIN of an individual in our case looks like this:
- marriage certificate ;
- passport of the Russian Federation;
- old code (if any);
- deposit receipt.
When the TIN is lost or damaged, then safely remove points 1 and 3 from the list. That is, you need only a receipt and a passport.
How to get a code to a foreigner
Some citizens of other countries are faced with the need to have a TIN of the Russian Federation. This happens when they are involved in work or temporarily reside in our state, they decided to do business here. Let’s tell you what documents are needed to obtain the TIN of an individual to foreigners. As a rule, such a process should not cause any difficulties.
Prepare your country's passport, a certificate of temporary registration and go to a government agency in your city. There, like everyone else, fill out a special sample application. He will be examined within five to six days and will be answered. You will have to come to the tax office personally too. Unlike Russians, foreigners are obliged to pay the state fee even at the first appeal. Therefore, it will be necessary to present a receipt.
Can I get the code through an intermediary?
The legislation does not prohibit assigning another person interaction with the tax office in this part. To do this, you need to draw up another document - a power of attorney. The notary certifies the paper so that there are no misunderstandings. The representative must attach this document to the package already designated. Then he will receive a statement instead of the one to whom the TIN is drawn up. The same person may receive a code for you. This also requires a power of attorney.
Actually, the process of acquiring the code is quite simple. It rarely causes real problems. It is necessary to remember what TINs are issued to people who have confirmed their identity. And for this, a passport is used in all countries. By the way, the military must provide another document - a certificate.
Nuances and recommendations
We have not yet mentioned children with a passport. If a young citizen, having celebrated his fourteenth birthday, does not yet have a code, then he may well receive it personally. The right of the child to apply personally to the Inspectorate for TIN is legislatively fixed. You need to take a passport and go to the regional office. It is recommended that you go with mom or dad so that an adult helps with the application. Although the employees in the institution will also be quite able to cope with the transfer of data from the passport to the paper and tell you what to write.
When moving to another city, changing the TIN is not necessary only if it is issued after 2009. When a person has acquired a code earlier than the specified period, you will have to go to the tax office for a new certificate. This rule does not work if the move took place within the same settlement. It is important to know that part of the code speaks of the region of residence.
If you are leaving for permanent residence in another locality, then take care of changing the TIN. In extreme cases, consult with tax officials so as not to get problems out of the blue.
Can I not get the code?
This is a philosophical question, not a practical one. There are probably people who do not maintain relations with the state, they do not need a TIN. But there are very few of them. The code will be required when applying for the service, when applying for benefits. Entrepreneurship will also be impossible to do officially if there is no TIN. This is a pretty serious restrictive tool for those who want to earn income. Therefore, it is desirable to have it. However, if you live in the outback, are engaged in subsistence farming, are not trying to earn money, you can probably do without it. Although in the modern world there are few such situations in which communication with the state machine is completely ruled out. And from this it follows that you still have to turn to the tax. And the sooner the better. Solve one problem, and you can begin to think about some other. Good luck
