Each person opening an individual business is required to register in the state register of the tax inspectorate and receive a unique code called the main state registration number (PSRN). Its necessity is due, first of all, to the presence of a higher regulatory body, which it is necessary for quickly searching and reading information.
History of OGRN
With the collapse of the USSR, all forms of ownership, organization and business were necessary to re-register, that is, privatize. During the perestroika period, joint-stock companies began to appear, for which it was sufficient to have a tax inspection identification number for operation. Such a system of relations between the state and the private sector left much to be desired: firstly, enterprises suffered losses from additional expenses of auditing and accounting; secondly, the state’s invasion of the internal affairs of companies and organizations stagnated the free competition market. After a long chaos, the economic system strove for harmony. Thus, certain regulatory mechanisms appeared, which, on the one hand, simplified the office work of enterprises, and, on the other hand, made tax reporting more transparent. With the development of the market and the emergence of additional forms of ownership, state control bodies have put into effect the PSIS of an individual entrepreneur whose functions are to quickly search for basic information on any enterprise and individual business of the country.
