How to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities from the tax office? What methods of obtaining it exist? Why do I need an extract and how can I get it for free?

Hello, dear friends! With you is Eduard Stembolsky, an accountant and one of the authors of the website “HeatherBober.ru”.

All managers (founders of legal entities) and accountants have one way or another encountered a document called an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. But not everyone understands why and who needs it.

An extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is a document without which it is impossible to open a bank account, carry out real estate transactions, or conduct major transactions. This document plays an important role in the activities of every organization.

1. What is an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and why is it needed?

Let's start with what the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is. This abbreviation stands for Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

Extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is an official, legally binding document issued by the Federal Tax Service, which contains important legal data and information about the organization - a legal entity.

When registering a company, for example an LLC, all data falls into a single data register of the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate (IFTS). And also any changes in the activities of the enterprise are reflected in the Federal Database - Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

An extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is an important part of some processes related to the business of a legal entity.

In what cases is an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities required:

  • to confirm the existence of a legal entity;
  • when opening or closing a bank account;
  • during legal proceedings;
  • to participate in tenders;
  • to obtain official data about the counterparty (the company fulfilling contractual obligations) when making transactions;
  • upon liquidation or reorganization of an enterprise;
  • upon receipt of a license for a certain type of activity;
  • when notarizing documents related to the activities of the organization.

These are the most common cases; it is possible that you may need an extract in private under other circumstances.

2. What types of extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities are there?

There are different types and categories of statements. We will look at them in more detail below. Here I will talk about their main characteristics and features.

Type 1. Electronic or information statement

This type of statement is issued upon the first request of any person with Internet access.

You can receive such an extract without leaving your office or apartment, since it is an electronic document that can be downloaded.

The advantages of receiving an electronic statement are its speed, absence of fees and simplicity. There is only one minus, but a very significant one: information provided without an electronic digital signature is not considered official and is not accepted for consideration by government agencies.

That is, such a document has no legal force.

You can try to receive an electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities using the official service of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation at any time of the day.

Type 2. Official extract

Issued only to the taxpayer himself, his authorized representative, as well as judicial or law enforcement agencies.

This is a document printed on paper and has all the necessary evidence of its authenticity: signatures, stamps, and a unique registration number.

The form is provided within 5 days excluding weekends and holidays. Along with the application for the issuance of an official extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, it is necessary to provide the tax inspector with receipts and receipts confirming payment of the state duty. This approach to obtaining a document is called non-urgent.

Urgent receipt of an extract will cost much more, but will save you a lot of time, reducing the issuance from 5 days to 2-4 hours. You can order this service from specialized companies. The cost of ordering an urgent extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities starts from 2000 rubles.

Type 3. Extended statement

Contains all data about the legal entity and its source of income.

An extended extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities requires the following to be included in the application:

  • applicant's passport details;
  • full or abbreviated name of the inspection where the request is sent;
  • taxpayer identification number (TIN);
  • OGRN of the company whose extract is required for issuance.

Only state and non-budgetary bodies of the Russian Federation, as well as the legal entity itself, can receive such an extract.

Type 4. Regular extract

Unlike an extended statement, it is issued to any person who requests the document. A regular extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities does not contain passport data of the founder of a legal entity, information about open bank accounts and other commercial information.

This type of statement is often requested by third parties who want to know information about a third-party legal entity. Issued in hand after 5 days.

Type 5. Paid and free statements

Ordering each type of extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (except electronic) is issued only FOR PAID, since the state spends its time and resources maintaining the information base of legal entities.

How to pay for receiving an extract

You can pay the state fee for providing an extract in cash through a bank, by bank transfer, or through payment acceptance terminals, which are located directly inside the tax office building.

The amount of state duty is 200 rubles, but may vary slightly depending on the region of the country.

The document is issued free of charge if the owner of the enterprise or his authorized representative applies for it. Accountants and financiers of an enterprise have the right to receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities free of charge.

The issuance period is 5 working days, if the client wants to speed up the process, then you can order an urgent extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, but the state fee will then be 400 rubles. But you will receive the document on the day you submit your application.

3. How to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities – 3 popular methods

Here I will tell you what the best ways are to obtain this document.

Method 1. Through the Federal Tax Service department

This method involves receiving any type of statement, except electronic.

The first step is to draw up and submit an application to the regional department of the Federal Tax Service.

The application must indicate:

  1. Full name of the tax department where you are submitting the application and the name of the head of this branch (if known). The data is written in the genitive case (to whom?).
  2. Full legal name of the company, its INN, KPP and OGRN.
  3. Next, you need to clearly indicate the reason why you are going to receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
  4. At the end of the application you need to put a date and certify everything with the signature and seal of the organization.

There is nothing difficult about filling out the form itself. I do not recommend that you agree to offers of services to fill out applications from third-party companies. In my opinion this is a waste of money. Below I suggest you download a sample application for an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and fill it out yourself.

After completing the application, you need to pay the state fee. This can be done directly at the tax office, using online banking or any other way. Choose a method in which you can easily and quickly receive confirmation of payment.

If you pay for the service by non-cash method, print out the receipt and take the receipt from the terminal. When you deposit funds through the cash register, you will be given a receipt in any case. Now you can go to the tax office to submit a package of documents.

The paper with data that will be given to you after a few days is an official document. All its pages are bound and sealed.

From this moment on, the extract has legal force and is ready for presentation at the place of request.

This way of obtaining a document is the most common. Despite the introduction of information technology, people still do not fully trust EDS (electronic digital signature) and other new products, so they prefer to go to the tax office on their own.

Method 2. Through commercial organizations

This method is suitable for those who want to learn more about their business partner, employer, investor, and so on. It does not require any action from you other than contacting the appropriate company and paying for its services.

Stages of obtaining an electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities using commercial firms:

  1. Search for an organization. At the first stage, you need to find a reliable organization with positive reviews and good speed.
  2. Submitting an electronic application. Next, you need to submit an online application for an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, indicating all the necessary data.
  3. Payment for services. Make a payment for the service (few people work on a postpaid basis) and expect to receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities to your email address.

Some companies that provide these services send the document to your email, while others send you the actual paper by regular mail, although this may take longer.

Some will offer to send you a statement by courier, but the fee for the service will be much higher. But most often this service is standard and inexpensive: 500-600 rubles.

The advantage for you in this case will be the absence of the need to go somewhere and stand in queues. The downside is that you will have to wait for the document, which means that you will not be able to use it at this time.

Method 3. Through the official website of the Federal Tax Service - online statement

To carry out this operation you will need an electronic digital signature. It is an individual set of cryptographic data with which you can certify absolutely any document.

What you need to do to receive an online extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities:

The advantages of this method: you have a choice - receive the statement online or wait for it to be transferred to your physical address via mail.

The electronic version can be sent for printing (it is advisable that the printer be in color to correctly display the stamps), and copies can be made from it. Such an extract can be notarized and provided to any institution.

If information about the specified legal entity is not found, you will be sent a notification about this. Check that the data is entered correctly; if everything is correct, you can order a certificate stating that there is no data about the legal entity in the database.

It will take longer, but much cheaper. To track the parcel, you will have to provide your mobile number and company registration number.

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

Legal 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 your 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

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 searching 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 complicates the process somewhat. 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 .

Every business inevitably faces the need to check its business partners. Before concluding an agreement, let alone sending an advance payment, we will do everything possible to check who our counterparty is (by TIN, for example): does he really exist? who signs the contract? how long has the company been on the market? do they know this company?

In a more specific case, an accountant is faced with the need to have evidence of his diligence in the event of tax audits, even though the Tax Code does not directly dictate such a duty.

The easiest first step is to check the counterparty by TIN on the Tax Service website for free. The online check is called “Check yourself and your counterparty” (nalog.ru). This method makes it possible to view an extract about the company from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities by TIN. As practice shows, this is good, but it is absolutely not enough to fully check a company and protect your business both from fraudsters and from claims from regulatory authorities.

We will tell you all the intricacies and details of checking companies: how and what to check, whether it is enough to check a company by TIN, and what paid and free options can be used to do this.

Checking the counterparty - detailed information

What does it mean to “check the counterparty”?

On the Tax Service website and in special programs, you can collect and analyze documentary and other information about your business partner. Such actions will determine how conscientiously your partner conducts business.

Who should do this?

In an organization, a tax audit of a counterparty by TIN is usually carried out by employees of the legal department or the economic security department. If the organization does not have such a department, then checking counterparties (by TIN on the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate website, for example) is the responsibility of the person concluding the contract.

Why is it necessary to check the counterparty by TIN on the Tax Service website or in a paid program?

There are various reasons justifying the need for this activity. These include risks of financial and economic life: the risk of non-delivery of goods, delivery of low-quality goods, untimely delivery of goods, etc., even fraudulent schemes.

We must also remember that any transaction is subject to tax. The Federal Tax Service has repeatedly emphasized that responsibility for choosing a company with which to cooperate lies entirely with the organization. The possible consequences of such a choice are the entrepreneurial risk of the organization. For example, during an audit, tax authorities may exclude a questionable transaction from expenses or not deduct VAT. To avoid such troubles, it is easier to check the company in advance by TIN on the Tax Service website, having received an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (nalog.ru).

The state has not established a formal obligation to verify companies when concluding contracts, much less criteria for such a procedure, a list of necessary actions, or a minimum package of documents.

In the Tax Code there are no concepts such as “verification of the counterparty” or “bad faith of the taxpayer.” Meanwhile, there is clause 10 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated October 12, 2006 N 53 “On the assessment by arbitration courts of the validity of a taxpayer receiving a tax benefit,” which states: “A benefit may be recognized as unjustified if the tax authority proves that the taxpayer acted without due diligence...” After this, the state actually imposed on businesses the obligation to check their partners, and a practicing accountant is constantly faced with the need to find a counterparty using the TIN on the tax website, and then check “what he breathes.”

Business customs

For many years now, organizations must first check the counterparty’s TIN (the Federal Tax Service allows this to be done free of charge), and then document such a check. During this time, the most frequently requested package of documents was formed:

  • copy of the Charter;
  • extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
  • a copy of the registration certificate;
  • a copy of the tax registration certificate;
  • letter from statistics with codes;
  • documents confirming the authority of the person with whom the contract is signed, for example, a power of attorney and a copy of the passport.

Please note that checking the fact of entering information into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and receiving a document confirming the person’s authority to sign documents from the point of view of the Ministry of Finance indicates due diligence (letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 10, 2009 No. 03-02-07/1-177).

In addition, depending on the activity, the following may be requested:

  • organization card;
  • extract from the staffing table (if a specialist is required to perform the work);
  • licenses with attachments, necessary permissions;
  • certificates from the Federal Tax Service confirming the absence of debt;
  • copies of accounting and tax reporting for the past period with a mark from the Federal Tax Service;
  • a copy of the lease agreement (office, warehouse, etc.).

Much less frequently, but there are already precedents when the following is requested:

  • analytical notes (i.e. a brief summary of the company on the implementation of similar projects);
  • letters of recommendation (usually requested by banks);
  • auditor's report;
  • and even a current account statement for the last month, quarter, or year.

Publicly available sources of information

When acting independently, you should use the following sources of information:

  • request an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities yourself for your partner;
  • check if he has a website;
  • send a request to the Federal Tax Service inspection in free form about the integrity of the taxpayer;
  • check whether it is registered at the “mass registration” address on the Federal Tax Service website;
  • you can check yourself and your counterparty in the Federal Tax Service service of the same name on the website “check yourself and your counterparty” nalog.ru (you will first need to check your TIN on the tax website);
  • check it according to the State Registration Bulletin to see if it has begun the liquidation or reorganization procedure;
  • check it in the Federal Tax Service “Transparent Business” service;
  • look for the passport of the sole executive body on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find out if it was lost some time ago;
  • You can check the license data on the website of the licensing authority;
  • on the website of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation and other courts, you can find out whether the company participated in legal proceedings;
  • Enter the name of the company you are interested in and the last name, first name and patronymic of the director into any search engine and look through all mentions of them.

What organizational measures should be taken in the company to be protected from unscrupulous counterparties?

Each company independently decides the degree of possible risk when concluding contracts and takes appropriate organizational measures. Usually, a person responsible for this procedure is appointed, and the procedure itself is regulated by internal Regulations or Rules of Procedure for verifying counterparties. At a minimum, every organization conducts a check of the counterparty on the tax website using the TIN for free.

In conclusion, we must say that, unfortunately, even all these actions taken together will not protect you 100% from possible problems or from the likelihood of claims from the Federal Tax Service. However, we have the power to reduce this risk to insignificant.
