In 2017, life has become even more disturbing. Not only the centenary of the February and October revolutions is frightening, but also the activity tax authorities in terms of identifying arrears from taxpayers, as well as looking for new ways to collect from businesses. Inspectors solve the problem of additional charges more and more decisively. In this regard, now it is necessary to pay the closest attention to the observance of "due diligence", without giving the tax authorities a single chance to accuse your company of this. We understand this issue with the partner of today's card index - the company "Lik-Expert". There is no exact definition of what it is. The concept of "due diligence" was introduced back in 2006, but it was widely used only recently, when the tax inspectorate began to actively use the accusation of "failure to comply with due diligence" when conducting inspections and imposing additional charges on the enterprise.

In fact, “due diligence” is a set of measures and technologies that allow a company to check that its counterparties are not crooks (such as “one-nighters”) and schemers, but honest entrepreneurs. Of course, no one can guarantee the final and irrevocable honesty and trustworthiness of a partner, however, the accountant and director of the company need to conduct the most thorough check of all their partners. And not only to clear one's conscience, it is more important to evaluate all one's actions from the point of view of a judicial perspective. That is, do you have arguments to defend your “due diligence” in court.

After all, if the tax office comes to the conclusion that the company did not show due diligence when concluding the transaction, it can accuse the company of receiving unreasonable tax benefit, considering its costs not documented, and the VAT deduction and expenses as part of the costs when calculating income tax are unlawful.

It was introduced by a decree, but there is no precise definition of the concept in it.

Clause 10 of Decree No. 53 only stated that “a tax benefit may be recognized as unreasonable if the tax authority proves that the taxpayer acted without due diligence and caution and he should have been aware of the violations committed by the counterparty ...”. The plenum also drew attention to the fact that the fact that the counterparty of the company violated its tax obligations is not in itself evidence of an unjustified tax benefit for the firm. In addition, the Plenum pointed out that by submitting to the inspection “all duly executed documents” in order to obtain a tax benefit, the company has every reason to receive it. Unless, of course, the inspectors prove that the information contained in these documents is incomplete, unreliable or contradictory. In practice, “due diligence and care” is usually understood to mean that the company used all the possibilities established by law to obtain information about the counterparty.

Where and how to check partners?

Checking counterparties can be done free of charge. To do this, there are many sites that publish information about legal and individuals Oh. This may be the history of their relationship with the tax office (debts, etc.), arbitration cases, information on liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy, and other details important for the implementation and conduct of transactions. At the same time, it is important to check your counterparties not periodically, for example, only at the beginning of cooperation, but constantly. This can save not only from claims tax office and additional charges, but also, literally, from the loss of money. Business is a harsh thing, and sometimes even the most beautiful partners find themselves in a state of bankruptcy, and therefore, for example, do not pay you at all for the last delivery of goods.

Is there a list of such resources?

Yes, Clerk.ru has compiled a list of sites specifically for its users where you can check your partners yourself. It's completely free, though it all takes some time. A mistake in such a case can lead to serious financial losses and even bankruptcy of the company and loss of business.

Here are the sites:

https://service.nalog.ru/disqualified.do - register of disqualified persons.

http://egrul.nalog.ru - Unified State Register of Legal Entities (you can find out whether a legal entity is registered, whether it is excluded from the register).

https://service.nalog.ru/uwsfind.do - information about legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in respect of which documents for state registration.

http://www.vestnik-gosreg.ru/publ/vgr - messages of legal entities published in the journal State Registration Bulletin on making decisions on liquidation, reorganization, reduction authorized capital, on the acquisition by LLC of 20% of the authorized capital of another company, as well as other messages of legal entities, which they must be published in accordance with the law.

http://www.vestnik-gosreg.ru/publ/fz83 - information published in the journal State Registration Bulletin on the decisions taken by the registering authorities on the upcoming exclusion of inactive legal entities from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

https://service.nalog.ru/addrfind.do - register of mass registration addresses.

https://service.nalog.ru/svl.do - information about persons in respect of which the fact of the impossibility of participating (executing leadership) in the organization is established (confirmed) in judicial order.

https://service.nalog.ru/baddr.do - information about legal entities, with which there is no connection at the address (location) indicated by them, entered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

https://service.nalog.ru/zd.do - information about legal entities that have tax arrears and/or have not submitted tax returns for more than a year.

http://fssprus.ru/iss/ip - data bank enforcement proceedings FSSP.

http://reestr-dover.ru - register of canceled notarial powers of attorney.

http://services.fms.gov.ru/info-service.htm?sid=2000 - check against the list of invalid lost (stolen), issued on the lost (stolen) forms of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, issued in violation of the established procedure, as well as declared invalid) passports of citizens of the Russian Federation.

http://kad.arbitr.ru - database of court cases of arbitration courts of the Russian Federation.

https://service.nalog.ru/bi.do - information on the presence of a decision to suspend operations on the taxpayer's bank accounts (Bankinform service).

But for example, what conditions must a company meet in order for its costs to be allowed to be taken into account for profit tax purposes, and the VAT deduction recognized as legitimate?

For VAT and income tax, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation contains different requirements. So, the buyer of goods (works, services) accepts the "input" VAT for deduction when the conditions prescribed in Art. and Tax Code of the Russian Federation:

• availability correctly, in accordance with the provisions of the issued invoice;
• purchased goods (works, services) are registered;
• the purchased goods (works, services) are intended for use in transactions subject to VAT.
• In the case of income tax, expenses incurred are recognized for tax purposes if they ():
• substantiated (economically justified) and documented;
• incurred to carry out activities aimed at generating income.

It would seem that if the organization fulfills all the listed requirements, the controllers should not have any questions. But in practice this is not the case. It may happen that the partner of the company turned out to be a “one-day” company with a “fake” address and TIN. Or, being a non-payer of VAT, he mistakenly issued an invoice with an allocated tax amount, on the basis of which the buyer accepted the tax for deduction. In such cases, inspectors try to prove that the taxpayer did not exercise due diligence when choosing his counterparty.

Or maybe all this “due diligence” is a garden scarecrow? And there is nothing terrible, and no one is punished?

Well, for example. From the general director, the tax authorities decided to recover 16 million rubles from personal property to pay off arrears, penalties and fines for the company he headed. Rationale: the CEO did not show due diligence when choosing counterparties, the company was associated with gray and cash-out offices, and it had arrears, penalties and fines.

So, all this is not a joke and the consequences can be the most dramatic.

And besides checking counterparties on these sites, how can you check them?

Controllers also pay attention to the long-term nature of the relationship with the counterparty and the presence of interdependence (affiliation) between companies. Therefore, it is better to prepare for possible claims of inspectors in advance. Make it a rule to ask your business partners:

• copies of constituent documents (charter and memorandum of association);
• copies of the certificate of assignment of PSRN, TIN;
• copies of licenses;
• documents confirming the authority of persons signing contracts, invoices (in particular, a protocol on the appointment of the general director to the position);
• copies of passport data of the head and chief accountant.

To do this quickly, during a meeting with a potential partner, you can give him a memo listing all the necessary “papers”.

And where can you check your counterparties in all respects at once, without resorting to viewing a bunch of departmental sites?

The process of checking counterparties can be simplified using paid services. This approach will speed up the decision-making process and allow you to use a proven and up-to-date channel for obtaining information. You need to understand that discretion is not just a formality for the Federal Tax Service, but also the safety of business, the safety of nerves and money.

When choosing a paid service, you need to make sure that it not only provides up-to-date data about your counterparties, but is also constantly updated. It is important that information about the activities of companies appear in the database of a paid service for checking counterparties immediately, without the slightest delay. For example, as in the daily updated online database Lik-Expert (http://www.licexpert.ru), which collects data on millions of companies and individual entrepreneurs in Russia.

Signs of lack of "due diligence":

Lack of state registration of a partner or registration on a lost passport, for an incompetent person;

Absence of a counterparty company at its legal address;

Delivery by the counterparty of "zero" reporting (both accounting and tax) or its failure to submit to the inspection;

Signing of documents by unidentified persons.

When deciding on cooperation with a company or individual entrepreneur, the question of the reliability and honesty of the Counterparty constantly arises. This applies to the situation when an Individual orders a product or service, and the situation when a Legal Entity begins cooperation with a new Supplier / Partner / Client.

When making a payment (prepayment) for goods or services, it must be clearly understood that the Supplier will fulfill all its obligations, deliver the goods or provide the service clearly and on time.

It is important to check the Counterparty and choose reliable companies to eliminate possible supply risks low-quality goods, lack of warranty service.

For Legal entities, verification of the Counterparty is the main action to prevent financial and tax risks. The Federal Tax Service strongly recommends checking Counterparties and exercising Due Diligence using all available open and legitimate sources of information. The easiest way to Check the Counterparty is to get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities / EGRIP on the tax website. For more complete information, it is recommended to use the service for checking counterparties ZACHESTNYYBUSINESS.

On the ZACHESTNYYBUSINESS portal, you can check the Counterparty of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur for free according to information from official open sources (FTS, ROSSTAT, etc.)

The data on the portal is updated daily and synchronized with the nalog.ru service of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation*.

For a free check of the Counterparty by TIN / OGRN / full name / Name, use the search box:

To do this, enter the TIN or OGRN of the company in the search box.

If you do not have the exact details, it will be enough to enter the name of the company. If the name is common and a list appears at your request, it is advisable to clarify the request:
. enter the name of the company + the surname of the director (for example: TECHPROM IVANOV)
. or: company name + location (for example: TEHPROM MOSCOW)
. or all parameters at once (for example: TEHPROM IVANOV MOSCOW)

A brief algorithm for Checking the Counterparty (how to determine a reliable Counterparty using HONEST BUSINESS.RF):

1. The organization must exist, its status must be Active.
2. The company should not be in special registers tax service(FTS), otherwise a red inscription will appear in the card under the name of the company. For example:
   There is no connection with the legal entity by legal entity. address (according to the Federal Tax Service).
3. Companies with a period of activity of less than a year have increased risks (determined by the date of registration). According to statistics, every 3rd company ceases operations during the first year.
4. The company must be located at the address of registration. The company must not have a mass registration address. How many companies are still registered at this address is indicated in the card under the address. Bulk addresses are often used by unscrupulous companies or fly-by-night companies.
5. The types of activities of the company must coincide in meaning with the actual activities of the company.
6. Head (director) of the company. If you know who the head of the company is, check this information. There are cases when companies are registered with nominee managers, i.e. persons not participating in the activity. This is one of the main signs of unscrupulous companies.
7. Check the number of employees. A company that does not have its own employees and material and technical base may not fulfill its obligations.
8. Check for registration off-budget funds. Without registration, for example, in the FIU, the company cannot transfer funds to the Pension Fund.
9. The authorized capital of the company. The minimum in the Russian Federation is 10,000 rubles. The larger the authorized capital, the less risks when working with the Counterparty.
10. It is also worth paying attention to Financial indicators(does not apply to companies that have been in existence for less than a year). We pay attention to the articles: “Net profit (loss)” - a loss-making company may have financial difficulties. The article “Fixed assets” shows the presence of Property in the ownership of the company.
11. Particular attention should be paid to the data of the Arbitration Court (a separate tab in the card of a Legal Entity or an Individual Entrepreneur on the HONEST BUSINESS portal). Availability of court cases on non-fulfillment of obligations and claims for recovery Money to the checked Organization, speaks about unreliability of the Counterparty.
12. Check the FSSP data. The presence of enforcement proceedings indicates the forced collection of funds from the audited company.

We wish you to work with trustworthy, honest Contractors!

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN, read "ienen")- it's special digital code, which 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 an individual entrepreneur (IP) as taxpayers.

Check TIN and get information about the counterparty

TIN of a legal entity and individual entrepreneur

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

Individuals with IP status can obtain a TIN in two ways:

1) simultaneously with assigning them the status of an individual entrepreneur and issuing a certificate of registration as an individual entrepreneur;
2) at any time before registration as an individual entrepreneur (in this case, upon registration You don't need to get a TIN again.).
Without a TIN, an individual will not be able to obtain IP status.
Legal entities and individuals with the status of an individual entrepreneur, when concluding any contracts, are obliged indicate your TIN in the details.
TIN must be located on the seals (for individual entrepreneurs - if there is a seal).

TIN of an individual without IP status

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

Counterparty verification: procedure in questions and answers

Checking a counterparty by TIN is a mandatory procedure that sooner or later all business representatives face, regardless of their line of business. Is it worth it to cooperate with the counterparty, can he be trusted and make an advance payment - this is only a short list of questions that can be answered by carrying out such a procedure as checking the counterparty by TIN.

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

It would be rational to present the basic information about the verification of the 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 a verification of a counterparty by TIN?

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

Who checks counterparties?

In most cases, checking the counterparty by TIN is the responsibility of employees of the legal service and the economic department. If such structural divisions not at the enterprise, the person authorized to conclude the contract will be responsible for checking the counterparty.

Why do you need to check the counterparty?

Checking the counterparty is carried out to minimize financial risks from cooperating with him. Analysis of the data obtained by TIN will help to 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 the responsibility for choosing a counterparty will fall entirely on your organization. The consequences can be different (exclusion of a transaction of a dubious nature from expenses, refusal to accept VAT deduction), so it is necessary to check the counterparty.

What exactly is studied when checking a counterparty?

Features of checking the counterparty - the procedure, obligations of the parties, the criteria for which studies are carried out - are not established at the legislative level. The concept of "checking the counterparty" on this moment not prescribed in regulatory legal acts, 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 recognized as unreasonable in court if it turns out that the taxpayer acted imprudently. In practice, this means that business representatives are responsible for checking the counterparty. 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, standard practice has already been established, which involves the collection and study of such documents of the counterparty as the charter, extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, certificates of state registration and registration on tax accounting, a letter from statistics, which indicates activity codes, documents proving the identity of the counterparty and confirming his authority.

Can a company burdened with large debts or involved in complex litigation be a reliable counterparty? Hardly. Sooner or later, such a partner will definitely set you up. Willingly or involuntarily. There are many ways to check a potential counterparty. Large companies can afford the services of professionals and order due diligence on the side. Small and medium-sized businesses have to independently search for information in open sources. However, if you approach the matter responsibly and use all available tools, in most cases this will be enough.

First of all, go to the website of the service of the Federal Tax Service "Information on the state registration of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, peasant (farm) households". Here are all the data entered into the Unified State Register legal entities (USRLE). The most important thing for you is the date of registration of the enterprise, its authorized capital, information about current state(or termination of business).

The "Date of OGRN Assignment" section helps to identify one-day firms - it is better not to cooperate with newly created companies.

A modest authorized capital says nothing directly about the unreliability of a legal entity. Even big companies often form it into minimum size, prescribed by law(for LLC - 10,000 rubles). But a significant amount of the authorized capital shows that the counterparty is certainly reliable - if you have any property claims, you can compensate them at the expense of the authorized capital.

Pay special attention to the sections "Information on the state of the legal entity" and "Information on the termination of activities" - in order to avoid cooperation with a company that is at the stage of liquidation or has already been closed. Be sure to specify who the Unified State Register of Legal Entities calls CEO companies. This will protect you from concluding an agreement with a "false director" - a person who does not have the authority to do so.

The next step is to check the future counterparty through the FTS service "Addresses indicated during state registration as the location of several legal entities". Make sure that the registration address of the future partner is not in the database of mass registration addresses - those where tens or hundreds of companies are registered at the same time. If you meet a counterparty in this black list, with high proportion chances are you are dealing either with a not very conscientious company or even with a one-day company.

Another useful service of the Federal Tax Service is "Information on legal entities that have tax debts". If the company has stained itself with tax evasion or failed to provide tax reporting- expect financial problems from cooperation with her.

Check the company for tax claims can also be in information system Federal Service bailiffs"Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings". Here you can find information about the company's outstanding or recoverable debts, as well as their size.

It would be useful to check a potential counterparty through information resource"Card file of arbitration cases", which contains information about litigation involving the company. It's bad if there are a lot of them. Especially if it's mostly debt collection disputes. In addition, here you can find out if the company has begun bankruptcy proceedings. If she started, this should automatically cross her out of your list of possible counterparties.

Finally, two more important tools for checking potential partners are the services “Search for messages published in the journal State Registration Bulletin” and “Search for messages published in the Kommersant newspaper about insolvency (bankruptcy)” . The first allows you to find out whether a decision was made to liquidate the company, reorganize it, reduce the authorized capital, as well as other facts, information about which the legal entity is required to publish in accordance with the law. The second service allows you to study information only about the bankruptcy of the company.

The listed services allow you to check the reliability of counterparties to the extent that it is generally possible to do it yourself, without requesting it from a potential partner financial documents and engaging external auditors or lawyers.

Doing entrepreneurial activity is inextricably linked with the constant risk of cooperation with unreliable companies.

In the worst case, this can lead to large material losses.

The Federal Tax Service will help you avoid such consequences.

Each resident of our country, each individual or legal entity, has one common identification identifier - TIN.

An individual taxpayer number allows you to calculate taxes, and can also be used to search for the necessary data.

Because knowing how check the company by TIN, can be useful to every entrepreneur.

What is a TIN?

TIN - individual number taxpayer.

A unique combination of 12 digits that determines the registration number of all state taxpayers in the register of individuals (legal entities).

You can only at the age of 14 by writing an appropriate application to regional office tax service.

What should an entrepreneur know about TIN?

It is important that each organization registered in the register of the Federal Tax Service has its own TIN code.

Using the TIN, you can determine publicly available information about the company:

• Name;
• place of physical and legal registration;
• the presence of debts to the state;
• the size of the company's assets;
• business profitability;
• debts to other counterparties;
• the presence of legal proceedings in which the audited company is a participant.

The list is impressive, isn't it?

But, as in any other legal process, there are subtleties that you will learn by reading the article to the end.

Situations requiring verification of the organization by TIN

Inexperienced entrepreneurs often make a very gross mistake, considering checking a potential partner as an unnecessary operation.

Often, the majority of bankrupt enterprises have fallen to this level due to the illogical and inappropriate behavior of the manager.

The basis of entrepreneurial activity is interaction with partners on favorable terms.

But can you be completely sure of the status of your counterparty when making a deal?

The answer is obvious - no.

Situations requiring verification of the company:

1. Carrying out financial transactions between enterprises.
2. Drafting of cooperation agreements.
3. Providing legal assistance to the organization.

There are several dozen more special cases that require verification. But all of them can be combined under the wording "financial transactions".

First of all, an entrepreneur may be interested in the place of registration of a legal entity, the reliability of documentation, financial security firms.

The TIN itself does not provide information about the company. Employees of the Federal Tax Service use it as an identifier for the database.

That is, according to the numbers that make up the TIN, you will not be able to disclose all information about the company's debt to its counterparties and other details.

To determine the status of an organization, it is found in the registers of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or the EGRIP, the necessary information is selected, and search queries are made in the databases of the State Pension Fund and banking structures.

The presence of cases in arbitration courts- Another factor that may be of interest to counterparties. It can be easily determined by analyzing lawsuits by TIN (this procedure is also carried out using the methods described above).

With a personal appeal to the Federal Tax Service, the chances of an error in compiling a search query are clearly reduced.

If you are not completely confident in your abilities, you should contact the regional tax office.

This solution will eliminate the problems of counterparty identification.

Every entrepreneur reading this article might have some concerns related to the excessive openness of data to others.

It is necessary to note very important point: without the consent of the management structure of the counterparty enterprise, it is simply impossible to find out the entire list of data you are interested in.

• Is the person running a business?

To access other information, you must notify the counterparty and request permission.
