Almost every adult citizen is faced with a document such as TIN. What does this paper look like? Why is it needed? Where and how is it made out? We have to answer all these questions further. In reality, everything is much simpler than it seems.
Definition
What is a TIN? This is the name of the individual tax number. It serves as an identifier of a citizen in the tax system. Essential for many finance and tax transactions.
What does the TIN look like? It is a digital code of 12 or 10 Arabic numerals. In the first case, the number is assigned to individuals, in the second - legal entities. The first 4 digits in the TIN are the code of the region of the Russian Federation, where the number and code of the tax office appeared. The remaining 6 are the taxpayer entry number. The last digits are a control code for checking the correctness of the record.
If it’s the organization’s TIN, then here the entry will be formed as follows:
- first 2 digits - region;
- the second pair of numbers is the tax authority;
- the next 5 digits are the organization's record number in the USRN;
- the last digit is the control number.
An individual taxpayer number is assigned 1 time and for a lifetime. It does not change under any circumstances. Only not all citizens know this combination.
Representation
What does the TIN look like? This is usually described as a document on which the individual taxpayer number is written. More precisely, the certificate of the established sample.
Such a document is printed on sheet A4. It has an image of the state emblem and a stamp of the tax inspectorate. At the top of the certificate is written the individual tax number. Also on paper will be information about the owner of the relevant certificate.
Individuals
Now in more detail we will consider each type of TIN. The certificate of the established form for individuals is printed on a beige form. As already mentioned, the size of the document is A4. In different years, an individual number was imprinted on pinkish or yellow sheets.
On the certificate you can see the following information:
- F. I. O. citizen;
- gender;
- place and date of birth;
- the date when the citizen entered the tax records;
- taxpayer number in the FTS system.
Now it’s clear what the TIN (document) of an individual looks like. In order to use an individual taxpayer number, it is not at all necessary to receive a certificate. But under certain circumstances, this paper is necessary.
The organization
And what kind of document is issued to organizations? It should be noted right away that this paper does not have a single form. Thinking about how the TIN of an organization looks, it’s worth preparing for the fact that you will have to study a huge variety of different interpretations.
Each region has its own TIN form. The certificate is printed on A4 paper, if desired, it can be laminated. In the center of the document is the emblem of the region. The rest of the certificate resembles the TIN certificate of an individual.
On paper, you can see the following information:
- organization number in the tax system;
- Company name;
- PPC
- BIN;
- date of registration;
- information about the issuing authority.
Now it’s clear what the TIN looks like. But how can I get this paper? And where to turn for help in the implementation of the task?
Where to issue?
In Russia, tax registration is carried out in several bodies. Where exactly to go for help? Everyone gives an answer to this question independently. The main thing is to choose where it is more convenient to get into tax accounting.
In general, a TIN is issued:
- to the Federal Tax Service;
- at the MFC;
- through the public service portal.
There is no significant difference in how exactly to act. Through "State services" certificates with individual taxpayer numbers are issued more and more often. This technique allows you to register with the Federal Tax Service without leaving your home.
Documentation
What does the TIN look like? The answer to this question will no longer be a hassle. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the issuance of the relevant document requires certain papers from the citizen / company. Which ones?
Documents for issuing an individual number will be as follows:
- passport;
- statement of the established form;
- duty paid receipt.
This is usually enough. All these documents are brought to the MFC or the Federal Tax Service, after which in a few days it will be possible to obtain a ready certificate with the TIN.
Production time
How fast is the service? Usually, when ordering a document through the State Services, a certificate will be prepared in about 3 days. In other cases, the TIN will take longer.
Typically, the waiting period is 5 days. And nothing more. The TIN process does not take much time.
Cost
How much does this operation cost? If we are talking about individuals, then they do not need to pay for the procedure. Tax registration does not require any costs.
But if a citizen decided to open an IP or become a legal entity, you will have to pay a little. In 2017, the state duty for registration as a legal entity or an entrepreneur is 800 rubles.
