An extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is an excerpt of basic information about a given legal entity (with the exception of some personal data about individuals, which is provided only to authorized bodies) from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.

The Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE) is a federal information resource containing general, systematized information about all legal entities engaged in business activities on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as, in some cases, about liquidated organizations and those in the process of liquidation. The register is maintained by the Federal Tax Service of Russia (FTS RF) through territorial bodies. In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, Unified State Register of Legal Entities data is open and publicly available.

The information contained in the extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is key when checking the counterparty and, along with other documents, can confirm ownership, the rights of the founders or management of the organization to conclude contracts and perform other legally significant actions on behalf of a legal entity (LE), and also provide valuable information about the state of the legal entity and the overall reliability of the counterparty.

There are several main types of statements:

Regular (electronic, informational) extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities– contains basic open and publicly available information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. It does not contain passport data of the founders and managers of the legal entity, as well as information about the organization’s bank accounts.

You can get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities online and completely free of charge on the website, the data is updated daily from the official source (Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation), the document will be completely identical to the extract that you can download on the official tax website (egrul.nalog.ru). The information is always up to date as of the current date.

Extended statement– contains complete information, including passport data of the participants of the legal entity and its head. It is provided only to authorities, courts, and state extra-budgetary funds. Such a document is also provided by the tax authority to a legal entity or its representative about itself.

Official extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities– a document certified by the seal of the Federal Tax Service and received from the tax authority. It is a numbered and stitched printout on several sheets with the stamp of the tax authority.

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN, read as "ienen") is a special digital code that is issued to individuals and legal entities in order to streamline and control the payment of taxes.

TIN plays one of the main roles in the individualization of legal entities and individuals with the status of individual entrepreneur (IP) as taxpayers.

Check the TIN and get information about the counterparty

TIN of legal entity and individual entrepreneur

Entity receives a tax identification number from the tax authority at the place of registration of the person simultaneously with other registration documents.

Individuals with individual entrepreneur status can obtain a TIN in two ways:

1) simultaneously with the assignment of individual entrepreneur status and the issuance of a certificate of registration as an individual entrepreneur;
2) at any time before registration as an individual entrepreneur (in this case, upon registration There is no need to get a TIN again).
Without a TIN, an individual will not be able to obtain individual entrepreneur status.
Legal entities and individuals with the status of individual entrepreneurs, when concluding any agreements, are obliged indicate your TIN in the details.
The TIN must be located on stamps (for individual entrepreneurs - if there is a stamp).

TIN of an individual without individual entrepreneur status

Individual can obtain a TIN from the tax authority at the place of residence.
Currently obtaining TIN by individuals is voluntary. Exception: TIN is required for an individual when appointing him to the position of a civil servant.
In practice, when applying for employment in other positions, they are often asked to present the TIN along with other documents. Such a requirement cannot be mandatory, since it is not reflected in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

TIN verification

Anyone can visit our website for free check the correctness of the TIN counterparty - a legal entity or an individual with the status of an individual entrepreneur, as well as the fact of making an entry on the registration of a legal entity in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

Knowing the TIN and the name of the organization, you can obtain an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities for verification:

1. the reliability of documents received from the counterparty (since legal entities and individual entrepreneurs are required to indicate the TIN on any local acts and documents they issue);
2. the fact of the existence of a legal entity (situations are possible when an unscrupulous counterparty, for selfish purposes, acts in a transaction on behalf of a non-existent legal entity);
3. the reliability of the counterparty's legal address;
4. last name, first name and patronymic of the director of the legal entity and other information about the legal entity.

An individual can, via the Internet, and knowing the TIN - the amount of debt for taxes and fees. TIN verification individuals is carried out free of charge online.

Verification of the counterparty: procedure in questions and answers

Verifying a counterparty by TIN is a mandatory procedure that all business representatives face sooner or later, regardless of their line of business. Is it worth cooperating with a counterparty, is it possible to trust him and make an advance payment? This is only a short list of questions that can be answered by carrying out a procedure such as checking the counterparty by TIN.

If we consider individual situations, the need to check the counterparty can be useful to an accountant who wants to make sure of the transparency of the activities of a potential partner of his company before concluding an agreement. By using the TIN number on our website you can obtain an extract about the legal entity from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, as well as expanded financial data on the legal entity.

It will be rational to present basic information about conducting a verification of a counterparty by TIN in the form of questions and answers in order to achieve a high degree of understanding of the need for this procedure and the features of its implementation.

What is verification of a counterparty by TIN?

Checking a counterparty by identification number includes a search for information about him and its further analysis aimed at determining the integrity/bad faith of a potential partner.

Who is responsible for checking counterparties?

In most cases, checking the counterparty by TIN is the responsibility of employees of the legal service and economic department. If there are no such structural units at the enterprise, the person authorized to conclude the contract will be responsible for checking the counterparty.

Why do you need to check your counterparty?

The verification of the counterparty is carried out to minimize financial risks from cooperation with him. Analysis of data obtained using the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) will help avoid delays in deliveries, problems with the quality of goods or services, and will make it possible to stop fraudulent schemes of the counterparty.

In addition, this check is necessary to avoid sanctions from the tax authorities: if violations are found, then responsibility for choosing a counterparty will fall entirely on your organization. The consequences may be different (exclusion of a transaction of a dubious nature from expenses, refusal to accept VAT for deduction), so it is imperative to check the counterparty.

What exactly is studied when checking a counterparty?

The specifics of checking a counterparty - the procedure, responsibilities of the parties, the criteria by which research is carried out - are not established at the legislative level. The concept of “verification of a counterparty” is currently not prescribed in regulations and is absent in the Tax Code.

Along with this, in 2006, a Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation appeared, which somewhat clarifies who should check the counterparty. It is devoted to the issue of assessing the validity of a person receiving a tax benefit. It may be found unfounded in court if it turns out that the taxpayer acted imprudently. In practice, this means that responsibility for checking the counterparty rests with business representatives. In fact, in most cases the audit is carried out by accountants.

What documents are most often requested when checking a counterparty?

The absence of a written counterparty verification scheme somewhat complicates the process. At the same time, a standard practice has already developed, which involves collecting and studying such documents of the counterparty as the charter, an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, certificates of state registration and tax registration, a letter from statistics indicating activity codes, documents identifying the counterparty and confirming his authority .

In this material, I have combined many ways to check the organizations with which you are going to cooperate. Checking a company is actually quite simple: just follow the steps according to the checklist below. Almost all of the above methods for checking companies are free.

Among the paid services with demo mode, there is also plenty to choose from, for example, this is the one I use myself:

Has to be one of the most useful services. It is not for nothing that disputes continue to rage about whether the list of information provided constitutes a disclosure of tax secrets.

In the future, the service should become an effective tool for identifying ephemeral scams.

However, as of August 1, 2018 (when its full version should be launched), the service is “knocked out.” There is no time frame for restoring functionality.

UPD: It's working! But “somehow.” Poor and clumsy. But maybe you'll be lucky and get some benefit out of your counterparty.

One of the main services for verifying legal entities. You can search by TIN or by organization name. The service is located on the tax office website and can be used for free. The result of the company search is current information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in the form of an extract.

The most important thing that allows you to check the service (and what is very often ignored when concluding a deal! - which is simply a paradox) is the reality of the organization’s existence.

In the statement you can see the following information:

• about the director;
• about the founders;
• date of creation of the legal entity;
• information about reorganization, liquidation, etc.;
• size of the authorized capital;
• OKVED codes and other information.

An extract from the “Check yourself and your counterparty” service can also be used to join a claim in the event of a legal dispute in arbitration courts.

You can check both individual entrepreneurs and legal entities.

The service allows you to “break through” the company’s debts, which have already reached the point of forced collection by the bailiff service.

Allows you to evaluate:

• the presence and total amount of debts of the organization (and, accordingly, its relations with other companies);
• presence of claims from the tax inspectorate, Pension Fund, etc.;
• the likelihood of bankruptcy of a legal entity.

Through this database you can also find the debts of the director of the organization and its founders. This can also reveal a lot about them, and in some cases may have direct consequences for you (for example, challenging transactions).

Also very important files reflecting disputes in arbitration courts throughout Russia.

On the one hand, the presence of disputes in the courts is an indicator of the real activity of the company and this gives some confidence that you are not dealing with a fly-by-night company.

However, for a deeper analysis, it is better to study the most typical court decisions for a given legal entity and especially pay attention to whether there are court decisions related to its bankruptcy. Also look at how regularly your potential counterparty pays off with its partners and how demanding it is in its relations with them.

Information on the bankruptcy of legal entities is officially published in Kommersant. There you can find information not only about the fact of declaring bankruptcy, but also other information provided for by bankruptcy legislation (for example, about meetings).

Also useful in this regard is the “Unified Federal Register of Bankruptcy Information” bankrot.fedresurs.ru.

A non-state service is an aggregator of court decisions of arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction. Possibility of searching by judges, by regions, by specific representatives.

The greatest usefulness is when searching for decisions of courts of general jurisdiction in relation to the director and founders of a legal entity.

The check is useful because:

• allows you to find out whether the organization is a small or medium-sized business (in some cases this matters);
• shows that the organization submitted reports in the last reporting period, since it is on the basis of this data that the status is assigned.

Direct usefulness, of course, for state and municipal organizations.

However, if your potential counterparty is on this “black list,” this is a reason to think about his honesty.

Despite the fact that at the top there is the inscription “Prosecutor General’s Office...”, the service also shows planned and completed inspections of other regulatory and supervisory authorities (for example, the labor inspectorate). Of course, such inspections may result in administrative suspension of activities, large fines and other penalties if violations are detected. Therefore, the service is very useful.

Useful, for example, in the case of purchasing equipment with identification numbers or cars for your organization. The information in the register is of an official nature.

In case of purchasing real estate (buildings, offices, structures), checking these registers is mandatory!

Currently, there are two essentially independent registers - the cadastre and the Unified State Register. Information about the object must be requested from both registers.

You can use both the official website and websites that are partners of Rosreestr. Through partner sites, statements can be received in no more than a few hours, through the official service - in a week.

Example of a quick statement website: vrosreestre.ru

The extracts contain information about the owners, encumbrances, legal claims, as well as real (legally significant) characteristics of the object.

Of course, if a transaction is concluded for the supply of office supplies, this check is not necessary.

But it is useful if you hire a specialist to perform certain work or services (for example, a lawyer or an auditor). Allows you to verify the qualifications of the specialist.

The only problem is that the Rosobrnadzor website barely works. But maybe you'll get lucky.

This database does not yet contain all documents, but it is being updated.
