A TIN is required by a citizen for employment, for any forms of activity related to taxes. But documents have an unpleasant tendency to get lost. The pleasant thing is that you can find out the TIN number without even resorting to restoring the lost document.
TIN or individual taxpayer number is a digital code that is assigned to both individuals and legal entities in order to streamline the accounting of taxpayers in Russia. It is used in tax accounting in the vast majority of documents. It is much more convenient than using personal data.
Since 1999, the first part of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation has been adopted in Russia. At the same time, they began to assign TIN to both individuals and legal entities.
You can get the TIN at the branch of the Tax Service of the Russian Federation. Actually, the TIN itself is a numerical code consisting of 12 digits. The first two of them denote the code of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, the next 2 are the number of the Tax Inspectorate that assigned the TIN, the next 6 digits are the tax record number of the taxpayer. The last 2 digits are control digits.
Check digits are used to ensure that the entry is correct.
The TIN remains unchanged, even if the person changes his last name, place of residence or work. In the department of the Federal Tax Service, a document is issued in which the code itself, the date of its assignment and the personal data of the citizen are indicated.
Although obtaining a TIN for individuals is legally recognized as a voluntary matter, many employers require it when hiring a citizen. If a person, through negligence or as a result of unforeseen circumstances, has lost a document of the tax service, in which the TIN is indicated, he has several ways to find it out.
