How are individuals assigned their TIN?
To obtain a taxpayer identification number for individuals, a citizen must contact the nearest tax office. You will need to have your passport and a copy of it with you. After filling out and submitting the application, the citizen must wait a week. After this, he will receive a document from which he can find out the TIN assigned to him by the tax office.
It is worth noting the fact that to submit an application it is not necessary to come to the tax office in person - the operation of issuing an identification number for individuals can be fully completed through an authorized representative. A notarized power of attorney will be required.
When is it necessary to obtain a company TIN?
Persons who in one way or another cooperate with a legal entity or individual entrepreneur may need to find the company number in the following cases:
- To the counterparty - to check the fact of registration of the company and the correctness of the information provided by the company about itself (in parallel with the TIN, the interested party is usually given information about the registration address, founders, as well as other statistics codes).
Advice : although even minor errors in the documents offered to a potential business partner are unacceptable for a reputable organization, you should not immediately refuse a profitable deal if you notice a typo or error in one number - most likely, this is a human factor, and not the machinations of a fraudster. If, based on the results of a search for the TIN of a company by its name, it was discovered that the legal address, names of founders, form of activity or other statistical codes do not completely coincide with the declared ones, refusal to conclude a transaction will become a guarantee of its own financial security for the future counterparty.
- For an ordinary person - to check the reliability of the organization whose services he intends to use. A simple example: a company producing plastic windows offers attractive discounts on prepayment of work and materials. But a citizen who decides to find the TIN of a company by its name finds out that it is either not registered in the register at all, or during registration it indicated a completely different address and full name. The conclusion is obvious: even if the organization that provided false information in the contract does not plan fraudulent actions in relation to a specific person (however, how can you find out?), you should not trust it - if only because if the company performs the work poorly, you can get your money back by filing a formal claim for a non-existent legal entity, it will be extremely difficult.
- The employee - to check the employer (it is carried out according to the principle described earlier), as well as to provide information about him to various government and financial institutions. The most common case is obtaining a loan or loan from a bank. Each credit institution decides independently whether to require a TIN or not; There is no general list of required documents. However, it is by the identification number of the organization that the bank can check the existence and reliability of the employer indicated by the potential borrower in the application form and, based on the information received, make a positive or negative decision on the application. And although nothing prevents the bank itself from finding out the TIN of an organization by its name, in practice it shifts this responsibility onto the borrowers themselves - perhaps in order to save resources, or perhaps due to a lack of serious interest: the flow of people wishing to borrow money does not dry up, and most of them will easily agree to the creditor’s not-so-fair demands.
Is it possible to find out the TIN of an individual by last name?
Taxpayer identification number is the same important personal data as, for example, SNILS or passport number. Therefore, in all verification systems they are protected as reliably as possible. Therefore, it will not be possible to find out the TIN of an individual only by his last name, first name, and patronymic. When checking online, a citizen can find out his TIN only if he has any document proving his identity or identifying him as a citizen of the Russian Federation.
