TIN / CIT of legal entities

In the details of any legal entity working in our country, there are always values: TIN, CAT. These numbers are assigned to organizations when they are registered with the tax authority.

The taxpayer identification number for legal entities is a code of 10 characters, indicating that the company is registered with the Federal Tax Service. The first two figures determine the region in which the work of the enterprise will be carried out. The second pair is the local tax authority. He exercises control over the activities of this organization. Numbers from the fifth to the ninth denote the cipher of the entry in the Federal Tax Service for registration in the Unified State Register (territorial section). And the last figure is the control number. It is the result of a certain mathematical operation and is necessary to reduce the possibility of errors in the processing of documents.

Since January 1, 2005, all INNs of foreign organizations start from 9909. The figures from the fifth to the ninth determine the belonging to a foreign enterprise. The last number, like that of Russian firms, is the control one.

The certificate of INN and CAT is made from special paper with watermarks. At the top of the document is a hologram with the emblem of the Russian Federation. The certificate states:

- the name and code of the division of the Federal Tax Service, which oversees the organization;

- date of registration and registration;

- series and number of certificate.

Information about OGRN, INN, CAT is necessary for organizations to maintain tax and accounting records, formalize contracts with counterparties of the firm. When filling out payment documents, they are indicated in certain fields.

The reason for registration is a 9-digit number. The first four numbers determine the regional affiliation of the organization and the division of the Federal Tax Service. The fifth and sixth digits of the checkpoint encrypt the reason for registration. The last three digits show the registration number.

Most often, the fifth and sixth digits of code 01, the last three - 001. This means that the legal entity is registered with the Federal Tax Service of Russia at the place of its registration. Such organizations do not have separate units.

The largest taxpayers are assigned a second checkpoint. One code should be indicated when paying federal fees, processing transactions subject to VAT (payment orders, contracts, invoices). The second is used in interactions with local tax authorities, when reporting.

The first four digits of the TIN code, the check point for most Russian firms are the same. The exception is organizations that have changed their legal address. When moving to another area, another city is changing the number of the tax inspection unit, the firm receives a new checkpoint, the TIN remains the same.

Digital codes are always used together. They help determine the name of the organization, its legal address. It is enough to enter the numbers of the taxpayer identification number, the check-point in certain boxes on the tax inspection site, as the program will issue all the data to the firm. You can find out not only its name, but also who the director is when it is registered, OKATO, etc.
