Egrul by the name of the organization. Egrul (Unified State Register of Legal Entities)

First of all, you need to make sure that the company is registered in the prescribed manner and operates. This can be done in many ways.

Check TIN

Make sure that the supplier's TIN is not a random set of numbers, but a real digital code that belongs to the company offering the deal.

It is very easy to check this, since the TIN has its own algorithm, and a fake number, most likely, will not match it. You can recognize an error in the TIN in any program for preparing information about the income of individuals by entering the number in the "TIN of the employer" field. If the number does not satisfy the algorithm, an error message will appear.

At the same time, you can establish the authenticity of the TIN and its belonging to a particular company on the website of the Federal Tax Service or using the counterparty verification service.

Request a copy of the state registration certificate (or an entry sheet in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities)

The state registration certificate confirms that the counterparty exists as a legal entity and is registered as a taxpayer. From January 1, 2017, when registering legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, instead of a certificate of state registration, a record sheet of the required register is issued - ERGUL or EGRIP. Thus, the entry sheet is a document confirming the fact of making an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or EGRIP.

In accordance with clause 13 of the Rules for Maintaining the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of a legal entity. In accordance with clause 19 of the Rules for Maintaining the USRIP, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of an individual entrepreneur.

Get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities / EGRIP

A fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities confirms that the counterparty is registered and has not been deregistered at the time of its receipt. In addition, according to the extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, you can check the details specified by counterparties in contracts and other documents.

An extract can be requested directly from a potential partner or using the FTS service.

The balance sheet allows you to draw several important conclusions about the company at once:

First, he confirms that the company is reporting.
Secondly, it allows you to establish whether the organization conducted economic activities.
Thirdly, from accounting you can learn about the "portfolio" of funds that the company has. If a company has practically zero asset value, significant debt obligations and an authorized capital of 10,000 rubles, this is a reason to think about whether it is worth giving such a company, for example, a commodity loan. Turnovers that are too low compared to the amount of the proposed transaction may also indicate that the supplier hides part of the income. In this case, it is better to refuse the transaction.

On the basis of financial statements, it is easy to draw up a financial analysis that will show the dynamics of the company's activities and allow assessing its financial stability. In the service on the company card, you can find links to financial statements and mini-financial analysis, which will allow you to immediately see the key points in the accounting forms without having to study a large and complex financial statement for the company.

Information about legal entities that have tax arrears and / or have not submitted tax returns for more than a year can also be obtained on the website of the Federal Tax Service.

Additional analytics

It is necessary to verify the integrity of the counterparty and collect evidence that you have carried out the necessary verification. Why is it important? In the event of a lawsuit, this will confirm that your company has shown .

From the point of view of the tax authorities (), the company has not shown due diligence if it does not have:

personal contacts of the management in the counterparty company when discussing the terms of supply and when signing contracts;
documentary confirmation of the authority of the head of the counterparty company, copies of a document proving his identity;
information about the actual location of the counterparty, as well as the location of warehouse, production, retail space;
information about the method of obtaining information about the counterparty (advertising, recommendations of partners, official website, etc.);
information on the state registration of the counterparty in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
information on whether the counterparty has the necessary license (if the transaction is concluded within the framework of a licensed activity), a certificate of admission to a certain type of work issued by a self-regulatory organization;
information about other market participants of similar goods, works, services, including those who offer lower prices.

Transaction Information

Confirmation of personal contacts when concluding a transaction

The lack of personal contacts during the conclusion of the transaction may indicate that the taxpayer did not exercise due diligence. The collected data on the circumstances of the conclusion of the contract with the counterparty (who participated in the negotiations, who released the goods, etc.) will help to prove the opposite.

Verification of transaction documents

This procedure avoids not only the claims of the tax authorities, but also possible litigation.

check the address indicated in the documents of the counterparty, in particular, in invoices;
make sure that the supplier's documents do not contain logical contradictions and comply with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and other laws;
compare the signatures of employees on documents in order to exclude the situation when different signatures are put on behalf of one person (it is better to exclude such documents so that the Federal Tax Service does not claim that they are fictitious).

This list of "filters" is not exhaustive. There are other ways to be careful in choosing a counterparty and get the most complete information about it.

TIN - individual identification number - this is the most accessible information about an individual entrepreneur or legal entity. This number is assigned by the local tax office. It is used to determine the main state registration number. You can find out the OGRNIP by TIN to check the reliability of your financial partner.

Definition of TIN and its decoding

TIN consists of 12 digits:

the first 2 digits of the TIN indicate belonging to the subject of the Russian Federation;
the next 2 numbers indicate the local tax office in the region;
6 digits of the TIN indicate the account number;
the last 2 digits are called control. They allow you to check the correctness of the number. Verification is carried out using special coefficients that correspond to each digit of the TIN.

What is OGRNIP

OGRNIP is issued by the tax office when registering an individual entrepreneur and is entered in the Unified State Register. OGRN is assigned only once and cannot be changed.

This number consists of 15 digits SGGKKHKHKHKHHHHH, in which:

C - a sign that the OGRNIP belongs to the main (3) or other (4) state number of the IP registration record;
YY - numbers indicating the year of registration;
KK - an encrypted designation of a subject of the Russian Federation, which is established by the Ministry of Taxes and Duties (for example, 77 - Moscow, 78 - St. Petersburg);
ХХХХХХХ - the number of the entry in the register for the year;
Ch - check digit. This is the least significant digit of the number, which can be obtained by dividing the previous 14 digits by 13.

How to get OGRNIP

There are two ways to find out the OGRN of an entrepreneur by TIN - an individual identification number:

Get a certificate from EGRIP (Unified Russian Register of Individual Entrepreneurs). To do this, you need to submit a request to the tax office. This can be done electronically or on paper. The answer will come no later than 1 week. The amount of the fee charged for obtaining an extract of the OGRNIP depends on the deadline for completion.
Use online databases. Using it, you can check the OGRNIP data for free, which can be found by TIN, namely:
- official information about the company (about the founders, managers, connections and beneficiaries, the financial condition of the counterparty and reliability);
- about changes in the work of the company and the facts of activity (change of legal address, managers, renaming, about the beginning of reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings)
- on the relationship between individuals and companies;
- on the financial position of the legal entity.

To get additional information about the company by TIN through the OGRNIP, you will have to pay a small amount. You can find the data you are interested in immediately online - processing a request usually takes 2-3 minutes. You can also set up monitoring on such sites: with every change in the work of the company, you will receive notifications from the database.

Using online services is convenient, but they do not always have time to update data about an individual entrepreneur. Only a certificate from the tax office about PSRN can give an absolute guarantee of the reliability of a partner.

The fastest and most reliable online check can be performed on the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation https://egrul.nalog.ru/. If you entered the correct OGRN, then after processing the request, you will see a pdf-file containing basic information about your business partner.

Additionally you can request:

information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and EGRIP;
Roskomstat data;
materials of the State Registration Bulletin;
decisions of the Supreme Arbitration Court, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation;
materials of the Kommersant newspaper about bankruptcies;
information from the Federal Antimonopoly Committee and the Federal Treasury and other sources.

OGRNIP Authentication

It is also worth checking the authenticity of the OGRNIP digital combination. This can be done using 2 methods:

There are OGRN calculators on the Internet. Enter your 15 digit code. After that, the service will determine the correctness of this number.
You can do the OGRN authentication yourself: divide the number consisting of the first 14 digits by 13, and then multiply the integer part of the product by 13. Then subtract the result from the first number. The difference between them should be equal to the 15th number of the OGRN.

Sometimes an individual entrepreneur has several OGRN. This can happen if the entrepreneur has changed his place of residence. This data is used by the tax office. To find out information about the company, you need the first PSRN number, which is given during registration.

Risk factors

Before concluding a deal, you should pay attention to some points:

The presence of the founders of the company in the register of disqualified persons. If the entrepreneur was included in this list, then the transaction may be invalidated, and you will suffer losses.
Company location address. It may turn out that several legal entities or individual entrepreneurs are registered at the address indicated by the entrepreneur. This is one of the potential risk factors.
Conscientiousness in paying taxes and reporting.

Also, an individual entrepreneur should check the data through the OGRNIP about himself. This will allow you to understand how attractive your financial image is, to detect and eliminate shortcomings.

Every business inevitably faces the need to verify its business partners. Before concluding an agreement, and even more so sending an advance payment, we will do our best 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 you know this company?

In a more particular case, the accountant is faced with the need to have confirmation 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 website for free. Online verification is called “Check yourself and the 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 not enough to fully check the company and secure your business both from fraudsters and from claims from regulatory authorities.

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

Counterparty check - detailed help

What does "verify counterparty" mean?

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

Who should be doing 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 IFTS website, for example) is the responsibility of the person entering into the contract.

Why do I need to check the counterparty by TIN on the website of the Tax Service or in a paid program?

There are various reasons that justify the need for this activity. This includes the risks of financial and economic life: the risk of non-delivery of goods, delivery of low-quality goods, untimely delivery of goods, etc., up to fraudulent schemes.

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

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

The Tax Code does not contain concepts such as “checking a counterparty” or “bad faith of a taxpayer”. Meanwhile, there is paragraph 10 of the Decree of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated 12.10.2006 N 53 "On the assessment by arbitration courts of the validity of the receipt of a tax benefit by a taxpayer", which states: "The benefit may be recognized as unreasonable if the tax authority proves that the taxpayer acted without due diligence…”. After that, the state actually placed on business the duty to check their partners, and a practicing accountant is constantly faced with the need to find a counterparty by TIN on the tax website, and then check "what he breathes."

business practices

For many years, organizations must first check the counterparty by TIN (the Federal Tax Service allows you to do this for free), and then document the conduct of such a check. During this time, the most frequently requested package of documents has been formed:

a copy of the Charter;
extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
a copy of the certificate of registration;
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 obtaining a document confirming the authority of a person 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 10.04.2009 No. 03-02-07 / 1-177).

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

organization card;
an extract from the staff list (if a narrow specialist requires to perform the work);
licenses with their annexes, necessary permits;
certificates from the Federal Tax Service on the absence of debt;
copies of accounting and tax reporting for the past period with a mark of the Federal Tax Service;
a copy of the lease agreement (office, warehouse, etc.).

Much less often, but there are already precedents when it is requested:

analytical notes (i.e. a short summary of the company on the implementation of similar projects);
letters of recommendation (usually requested by banks);
audit report;
and even a current account statement for the last month-quarter-year.

Public sources of information

Acting independently, it is worth using the sources of information:

request an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities for your partner;
check if he has a website;
send a request to the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate in a free form about the good faith of the taxpayer;
check if it is registered at the “mass registration” address on the website of the Federal Tax Service;
you can check yourself and the counterparty in the FTS service of the same name on the website “check yourself and the counterparty” nalog.ru (initially, you will need to check the TIN on the tax website);
check it in the State Registration Bulletin to see if it has started the liquidation or reorganization procedure;
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;
on the site of the licensing authority, you can check the license data;
on the website of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation and other courts, you can find out whether the company participated in litigation;
enter the name of the company you are interested in and the surname, name, patronymic of the director in any search engine and view all the mentions of them.

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

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

Often companies provide incomplete data, or simply do not carefully check their own data in documents, while in some cases, for example, when concluding an agreement, it is necessary to indicate the full details of the counterparty, including the TIN and, as a rule, PSRN. In this article, we will talk about what the main state registration number is and how to find it from the taxpayer identification number you have.

What is OGRN and why is it needed

Today, there are many different ways to identify a company.

So, for example, you can find out information about an organization using OKPO - this is the all-Russian classifier of enterprises and organizations. Any company, whether it is a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur, has an eight or ten digit code, which is assigned at the time of registration of the legal entity. Also, the data about the company is “protected” in the OGRN - a code that indicates the entry of the enterprise into the state register.

Before the introduction of the main state registration number by the Federal Law "On the Registration of Legal Entities", it was possible to check the company only by the TIN, which stores basic information: data on the organization's belonging to a certain body of the Federal Tax Service and registration information in this department.

OGRN search yields more information. PSRN consists of 13 digits, each group of which has its own purpose and contains encrypted information about:

the year the organization was registered;
the subject of the Russian Federation and the local registration authority;
record number.

The first digit indicates the nature of the entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities - initial registration or data change. The second and third are the last two digits of the year the entry was made. The fourth and fifth are the number of the subject of the Russian Federation in which the registration document with a unique number was issued. The sixth and seventh characters correspond to the number of the inter-district tax office that issued the number. The next 5 digits are the number of the entry on the registration of the legal entity in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in the year the entry was made. The last 13th digit is a check.

What does check digit mean? The organization number is a combination that is easy to verify. To find out the reality of the number, it is enough to divide the first 12 digits of the identifier by 11. The remainder, which turned out, must match the last digit. This way you can quickly verify the validity of the company registration number.

OGRN is indicated:

in all records in the state register relating to this legal entity (organization, company, enterprise);
in documents confirming the entry of relevant entries in the state register;
in all documents of this legal entity along with its name;
in the information on state registration published by the registration authorities.

By learning the registration number of the company, you can find out:

whether the enterprise actually exists;
the authenticity of the company's documentation;
Name of the person heading the company;
presence in the negative registers of the tax inspectorate;
business reputation of the head;
legal address;
individual tax code.

The same is true if you want, on the contrary, to find out the TIN by PSRN.

Instead of a conclusion

OGRN is the only and unique number for a separate organization. This is a unique number that is uniform throughout the Russian Federation, is assigned to an organization and entered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. So, in addition to the fact that this number is required for signing documents, it is simply convenient to use it. And it will not be difficult to find out, the most basic information about your counterparty is enough.

Creating any firm at the present time, it is necessary to obtain a large number of different numbers that identify the organization being created. Each of these identifiers has its own meaning. A few years ago, to create an organization, you only needed to get an identification number (TIN). But with the increase in the number of law firms and organizations, it became necessary to obtain the main state registration number (OGRN).

Why is OGRN assigned?

With the advent of a mass of companies in Russia, it became not enough to control companies using taxpayer identification numbers. The TIN indicates only the code registered with the tax office. Whereas the OGRN qualifies the organization not only as a taxpayer, but also acts as a custodian of information about the company. Information about the company can be collected, knowing only the decoding of the registration number.

In 2001, a law was passed that spelled out the conditions for registering companies and introduced the definition of PSRN. The main state registration number implies fixing the data when the organization was created, about the location, about the type of ownership, and also has information about which tax office conducts its inspection of the company.

Today, knowing the OGRN of the company, you can find out:

whether the enterprise actually exists;
the authenticity of all documentation available to the organization;
surname, name, patronymic of the legal entity heading the firm;
whether the company is included in the tax inspection list as having a bad reputation or created for a short time;
whether the head of the organization has negative popularity, as a figurehead for the creation of one-day firms;
legal address of the enterprise;
the individual taxpayer code assigned to the legal entity.

How to read OGRN correctly?

The main state registration number consists of 13 numbers, each of which has its own meaning and deciphers the information.

The first character can be "1", which indicates a legal entity. When at the beginning there is a "2", then we are talking about a state association. For an individual registered as a private entrepreneur, a different form of registration is used - OGRN IP. It is easy to recognize by the first digit - "3".

The next pair of numbers indicates the year the company was founded. If the second and third signs of the number together are "16", then the organization appeared in 2016.

The fourth and fifth digital character fixes the location of the legal entity. Each locality has its own number indicating the area of location. After reading together the numbers from the fourth to the seventh, it becomes known to which tax service the company belongs.

The number entered in the decision to establish a company is indicated by the next five digits. You can check the state registration number using the last digit. To do this, you need to take the number consisting of the first twelve characters and divide by the number "11". The result will come out with a certain balance, which is marked as the last position in the OGRN number. In cases where the division leaves a remainder of ten, then the thirteenth number will be written "0".

Thus, the legal entity that is at the head of the organization receives its personal number, according to which all information about its organization or company is deducted.

With the help of the check number, you can find out if the firm exists or if it is a false enterprise.

Definition of the OGRN of an organization by TIN

To find out the Main state registration number, you do not need to make any special efforts. To do this, you just need to know the details that are included in the TIN or in the checkpoint. In order to find out the necessary information, it is enough to use the services of social services. It is best to visit the website of the tax office. And have at least one prop on hand.

In order to find out the license plate number, there are several ways in which you can do this using the TIN.

Submit an application for data processing and provision of a number with the tax authorities. The answer can be received within a week, although the minimum period is from a day. But for this you need to pay a tax fee.
Use information found on the Internet.
Use the services of people who work on the Internet and, for a certain fee, with a minimum of information, search for the necessary information.

But importantly, every person who runs his firm or organization needs to know all his identifiers. Including the main state registration number. Since with the help of this number you can not only manage the company, but also enjoy all the privileges and opportunities that are provided for by law, as well as the ORGN.

How can I find out the OGRN of a company?

There are several ways to calculate the company registration number:

Make the correct application to the tax office

For information, you should:

prepare the necessary documents;
fill out the required request form;
pay a certain amount to pay the state duty;
in five days to receive the required code.

But in this case, the information has to wait a long time. But at the same time, a person will receive more complete information about the person who is paying tax fees. This information is not issued free of charge, for this you need to pay a tax fee.

Using the official website of the tax office

To do this, you need to go to the official website of the tax organization. To find out the information, you must enter certain data about the calculated enterprise and determine its OGRN online.

Do it like this:

First of all, you need to log into the Financial Management website. Then you should select the desired link, which is located on the site page. In order to find out the ORGN, the link "Legal entity" is selected. "Individual Entrepreneur" is selected if it is necessary to find out the details of the ORGNIP.
Then you need to decide on the desired server, with which you can find out the necessary data. For legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, there is a button "Check yourself and the counterparty".
In the window that opens on the site, the fields to fill in will appear, and then the necessary information will be received. The most basic are the fields "OGRN, GRN, TIN", as well as the field "Name". All accompanying fields are added in order to clarify the request in more detail.
Without all the data about the company, you can find out the registration number, knowing the control number assigned to it.

Knowing the TIN of a legal entity, it is very easy to determine the main state registration number.

To do this, you need to enter the taxpayer's indication code in a special box on the website of the tax office. Each person, having a TIN code, has the opportunity to determine the OGRN of the enterprise.

Some features of number identification:

To determine the number, it is enough that the name of the enterprise is known. In this case, you need to enter in the field that part of the name that is the most unique.
If the name is quite complex, then it is fashionable to get by with one word, but at the same time determine which of them will be the most effective for the search.
In this case, you must use the field "Subject of the Russian Federation". In this case, the search is reduced to certain regions and will simplify the search for information.
When requesting the date of establishment of the company, you must enter data in the following sequence: day, month, year.

OGRN is the only and unique number for an individual organization, which contains all the information necessary about it. A unique OGRN number, which is the same throughout the Russian Federation, is assigned to an organization and entered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. In addition to this concept, there is also OGRNIP, which stands for the main state registration number of an individual entrepreneur. It consists, unlike PSRN, of 15 digits, the last of which is a control one.

Unlike the OGRN, in the OGRNIP, under the registration number in the register list, not 5 digits are indicated, but 7. According to the OGRNIP, by analogy with the OGRN, you can also find out all the necessary information about an individual enterprise simply by number.
