How to find out the new Federal Tax Service code if the tax office has been reorganized?
If your region has recently undergone a reorganization of the Federal Tax Service inspection, a directory of unique SOUN codes will help you find out its new unique code.
To find out the code of your territorial tax authority, you need:
- go to the website : https://pgu.skbkontur.ru/soun.aspx
- and enter the old territorial tax inspectorate code. If your territorial tax authority has been reorganized, a new code will appear on the monitor in front of you. The directory will also provide you with additional information about the Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service - contact phone numbers and reception days.
The official website of the Federal Tax Service will also help you determine the details of the territorial tax authority using the service https://service.nalog.ru/addrno.do.
Method 2: by TIN
How to find out the Federal Tax Service code if you are filling out a declaration or other document for the tax service? There is another fairly simple way - take a look at your TIN, an individual number available to each taxpayer - private or legal entity. Its first four characters are the code of the inspection in which you are registered.
Of course, this is not a universal method - you can resolve your affairs far from your “native” branch of the Federal Tax Service in the tax office of a completely different region, so such information will be of no use to you. However, in some cases it is still useful.
Find out the tax authority code: detailed instructions
As we have already said, codes from one of the tax service departments are almost always used to fill out important papers, tax forms, declarations and other reporting forms to the system. They are represented by a certain set of numbers, there are four in total. Each service branch is assigned an individual combination, divided into two parts:
- the first two digits indicate the region in which the service branch is located;
- the second two digits are individual for each branch.
When filling out the declaration paper for reporting, the taxpayer enters inside the code of the service department to which he belongs according to:
- place of residence;
- conducting activities, etc.
So, what are the ways to find out the code of the tax office that you personally belong to? Let's look at the options we came up with and analyze each in detail.
According to the taxpayer's residential address
You can find out the code of the tax service department in order to enter it into the document according to your residential address.
