We all know perfectly well that the identification number is such a thing, without which a citizen can not do without. At the same time, it does not matter who is talking about: about an individual or about an individual entrepreneur - this code must have everything. This is stated in the 84th article of the Tax Code (in particular, the seventh paragraph of this article).
Now let's talk about the design procedure. Firstly, in order to obtain an identification number, it is necessary to prepare the documents. Rather, only one: the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. But in addition to the original, you also need to make photocopies of certain (2 nd, 3 rd and 5 th) pages. Be sure to write your own application form. Alternatively, you can simply fill out the pre-printed form. Strictly speaking, this is the first stage of the clearance procedure. It remains only to report to your tax office and submit the above documents in order to appear and receive a ready-made identification code in 5 days (or earlier).
There is one more feature of receiving that not everyone knows about. After assigning a number, you can apply for it in your civil passport. For this purpose, the tax service (at the place of registration) is required to submit two documents: TIN and passport of a Russian citizen. Information is entered on the 18th page of the last. Why is this necessary? Firstly, it is very convenient. As you know, the identification number is needed everywhere: both when paying a loan in a bank, or when setting up a job. In order not to carry everywhere a certificate, you can simply enter the coveted twelve digits in the citizen's main document. Here we should make a reservation: such a mark by domestic legislation to the number of mandatory does not apply. Despite the fact that it is authorized, you should not make it yourself. After all, any illegal entry or mark automatically makes the passport invalid.
Now let's talk about how to obtain an identification code for an individual entrepreneur (PI). Here he has two options. The first is to get the number in parallel with the IP status assignment. The second - at any time, but until the moment when registration as an IP was not conducted. In the future, the TIN is required to be indicated when concluding any contracts. In addition, it should also be placed on the press. If, of course, the employer has it at all.
Go to "failure"
It should also be remembered that citizens are not required to receive an identification number: this procedure is purely voluntary. Therefore, if it suddenly turns out that such a number is assigned to you for no reason (and without writing an appropriate application), then you can refuse it. By making again statements. But already about refusal in reception. A similar procedure is performed by citizens who can not have the code because of religious beliefs. There were also cases when individuals refused to receive the number. Naturally, they had no harmful legal consequences for them.
