Commentary from an expert lawyer

You can find out more about our experts.

Reading the article encourages thinking about identification number taxpayer, its significance directly for an individual (excluding entrepreneurs) and the ability not to take actions recommended by the author.

With my commentary I will try to oppose the author and in his person the official advisory information presented by the country's tax service.

Let's start with the author's statement that TIN is one of the important and necessary documents for a modern, and also successful citizen. I have to disappoint him, a TIN is not a document and knowledge about it is not as important for an individual as much as it is given importance.

Cannot be a document serial number registration in certain lists, information databases and other resources. The number itself does not carry any special mystical meaning that affects the success of an individual’s life. This just indicates that you have been counted.

How will the tax authorities do this, as a result, independently duties performed according to the accounting of taxpayers or through the voluntary application of the taxpayer, is reflected only in the labor costs of individuals and directly to the tax authorities.

By submitting an application for registration, an individual makes the work of the tax service easier, acquiring unnecessary hassle for himself.

Turning to the information service.nalog.ru, it is not difficult to find a message that when changing the last name/first name/patronymic/gender/date of birth/place of birth, it is not mandatory to obtain a new certificate of registration tax accounting. Is not it, Is it strange, given such a “great” importance of the Taxpayer Identification Number in our lives?

Having once considered an individual as obligated to pay taxes, the tax service has no need to take irrational actions to issue a certificate with changed information.

An individual is registered and informing the tax authority about any changes in his relation is already the responsibility of the institutions in which such changes are recorded. It turns out that the information specified in the certificate issued to an individual does not matter to tax authorities.

At this point it is worth mentioning ways tax accounting citizens. The one that the author of the article tells us about, along with information resource tax service, everyone knows. And it is so famous that almost everyone considers this to be an important action in their life. The author even called it “the most important.”

At the same time, we should not forget that individuals who do not carry out entrepreneurial activities are recorded as taxpayers in the first place, according to information received from organizations, institutions, bodies, when grounds for paying taxes arise, and only secondarily, through their personal request (statement).

With regard to the duties of the tax service, an individual will be taken into account as a taxpayer regardless of his desire (application) or reluctance (no application) through data on the objects of taxation of such an individual.

Until July 23, 2013 tax authority was obliged to immediately notify the individual about its tax registration. Obviously, this seemed to the legislator not so important and difficult, and now there is no such obligation.

The conclusion from my reasoning is the following: there is no need to bother yourself with unnecessary contact with the state fiscal service, to have and keep a certificate of own accounting when it is not legally established for individuals (excluding entrepreneurs) to indicate the TIN when applying to the tax authorities and in other documents, subject to the provision of personal information identifying them.

TIN is a set of numbers assigned to everyone; this allows you to identify those who give money to the state or receive it from it. That is, all Russian citizens must have this identifier. To become the owner individual code, you should collect documents for an individual and send them to the authority involved in “distributing numbers.”

What should you take with you? Who should I contact? Do you think that everyone already has a TIN? You are wrong. This personal number assigned to newborns and foreigners, it is changed at certain moments, and so on. Let's look at what documents are needed to obtain a TIN in each case.

Why is the code needed?

Let's face it: many are trying to save money and not pay the state their due share. The idea of ​​a TIN is related to this. It did not originate in Russia. Citizens of other countries are no different from residents of our state, so they also try to hide profits from taxation. Therefore, the government decided to designate everyone. For foreign residents Previously, Russians had to collect documents to receive This number is assigned to everyone on the planet. Without it, bank transactions are not made, funds are not accepted for transfer to others 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 take its due share. Just don't think of him as a robber. Any state has a lot of expenses, including social programs to support those who are unable to do without it. Therefore taxes should be controlled. All that remains for citizens and foreigners is to find out what is needed to obtain a TIN, collect the papers and not deceive the system. This also applies to low-income people. The code will have to be presented in order to receive assistance from the state.

Where to get a TIN for an individual

The answer to this question is quite simple. You probably already guessed that the code is necessary to control the movement of funds, collect payments to the budget, and therefore assign it state institute solving these problems. It's called the Federal Tax Service. You need to contact her branch at your place of residence. Nowadays the process of obtaining the code has been simplified. Any citizen has the opportunity to apply for it online. To do this, you should register on the official website of the Federal Tax Service. Within two weeks, your personal account will be created and a password will be sent to you.

In this virtual office, all problems related to obtaining or replacing a code are solved. There you can submit applications and send documents necessary to obtain a TIN for an individual. But to get the code in your hands, you will have to go to the branch in person. You need to sign for it. They send the TIN by mail to those who have an email. By the way, if you change the code, then in personal account and they accept payment, so you don’t have to attach a receipt.

Documents for obtaining TIN of an individual for the first time

Let's move on to collecting papers. Here, too, all sorts of nuances may arise. Ordinary citizen who wishes to acquire the code must take with him internal passport RF. The first time the TIN is issued free of charge. You will have to fill out an application at the institution established form. It will be issued by the specialist whom you will see for your appointment. This same person will tell you where and what to write. If the code is issued to a child, then everything is somewhat more complicated. Required following documents to obtain a TIN of an individual:

  • birth certificate;
  • a copy of the representative’s passport (for children under fourteen years of age);
  • a document confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation of the child.

It is advisable to prepare everything in advance. Please note that if you start applying for a code for several children at the same time, you will have to attach a copy of your passport to each application. Do as many as you imagine.

How to change TIN

Let's look at cases where the code is lost or needs to be updated. This often happens with women who get married and take their spouse’s surname. You will not only have to collect papers, but also deposit 200 rubles into a special account. This is a fee for providing a service. It is paid only when re-application for the code. The list of documents for obtaining a TIN for an individual in our case looks like this:

  • Russian passport;
  • old code (if any);
  • receipt for deposit of funds.

When the TIN is lost or damaged, then feel free to exclude points 1 and 3 from the list. That is, only a receipt and a passport are needed.

How to get a code for a foreigner

Some citizens of other countries are faced with the need to have a Russian TIN. This happens when they are brought to work or live temporarily in our state and decide to start a business here. We will tell you what documents foreigners need to obtain a TIN for an individual. As a rule, such a process should not cause any difficulties.

Prepare your country’s passport, temporary registration certificate and go to the government office in your city. There, like everyone else, fill out the application special sample. It will be reviewed within five to six days and an answer will be given. You will also have to come to the tax office in person to get the code. Unlike Russians, foreigners are required to pay a state fee even at the first application. Therefore, it will be necessary to present a receipt.

Is it possible to get the code through an intermediary?

The law does not prohibit entrusting another person with interaction with the tax inspectorate in this regard. To do this, you need to issue another document - a power of attorney. The paper is certified by a notary so that there are no misunderstandings. The representative must attach this document to the already designated package. Then they will accept his application instead of the one for whom the TIN is issued. The same person can get the code for you. A power of attorney is also required for this.

The process of purchasing a code is actually quite simple. It rarely causes real problems. It is necessary to remember that TIN is issued to people who have confirmed their identity. And for this, all countries use a passport. By the way, military personnel must present another document - an identity card.

We have not yet mentioned children who have a passport. If young citizen, who celebrated his fourteenth birthday, does not yet have the code, then he may well receive it in person. The child’s right to personally apply to the inspectorate for a TIN is established by law. You need to take your passport and go to regional office. It is recommended that you go with your mom or dad and have an adult help you with the application. Although the employees at the institution will also be quite capable of transferring data from the passport onto paper and will tell you what to write.

When moving to another city, it is not necessary to change the TIN only in cases where it was issued after 2009. When did a person acquire a code before? specified period, then you will have to contact 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 says about the region of residence.

If you are leaving for permanent place residence in another area, then take care of changing the TIN. IN as a last resort Consult with tax officials so as not to get problems out of the blue.

Is it possible not to receive a 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 registering for service and when applying for benefits. Entrepreneurial activity It will also be impossible to do it officially if you don’t have a TIN. This is a rather serious restrictive instrument for those who wish to receive income. Therefore, it is advisable to have it. However, if you live in the outback, are engaged in subsistence farming, and are not trying to make money, you can probably do without it. Although in modern world There are few situations in which communication with the state machine is completely excluded. And from this it follows that you will still have to contact the tax office. And the sooner the better. Solve one problem, and you can start thinking about another. Good luck!
