How to learn OCTM? What it is?

Any accountant or entrepreneur sooner or later faces OCTM. What is it, how to learn it and is it necessary to fill it? These are just a few of the questions that beginners are interested in.

Definition and value of the classifier

It should be noted that OCTO has been used relatively recently. Before that time, everyone used the OKATO classifier, which was deciphered as the "all-Russian classifier of administrative-territorial entities." However, he did not have full information, for example, about the city where this or that organization is located.

The All-Russian Classification of Territories of Municipal Formations (OCTO) began to exist in 2014. Thanks to this classifier, when working with documentation, it is now much easier to systematize and process it. But the benefits do not end here. In order to understand the role of OCTO in the work of any organization, it is necessary to disassemble it in more detail.

Structure of OCTMA encryption

The Russian Federation is a huge state. To make it easy for an entrepreneur or an accountant to understand in which city and region the registration of a legal entity has taken place, it is only necessary to understand how OCTMO is formed, what it is and how to decipher it.

So, every digit of this classifier means something. He has a clear structure, which can consistently decipher the region, region and city where the organization is located.

The code on the all-Russian classifier of territories of municipal formations consists of:

• Subject;
• Municipal administration;
• City and (or township).

OCTM and OKATO. What is the difference?

As it was already written above, the new classifier carries much more information and is more capable of deciphering the municipal object where this or that enterprise is located.

How can I find OCTM at? In fact, this is not difficult. OCTMO is tied up:

• To settlements, including villages, villages;
• To the administrative districts of cities with a million population (in this case, it would be nice to know the exact address of the company's registration);
• To federal cities;
• To the regions of the Moscow Region.

It is worth noting that the first two digits in the classifier mean the state subject, the second three digits are OCTMO of the city, and the next block encrypts the locality where the organization is located.

OKATO, in turn, is not fully informative and serves as the basis for a new classifier, which very successfully complements it.

Application of classifiers

At the moment, the classifier is widely used for the recognition of taxpayers. OCTM can be found on forms of strict accountability, including financial documents. To find it is not difficult. It is enough only to visit the official site of the tax service and enter information about the organization of interest. You can find OCTM at.

Also, according to the classifier, you can find information about the organization and on-line, but this is not recommended and should be used only by official sources.

If payment is required to fill in the OCTM of the payee, then you need to do this very carefully. The fact is that if the sender of money is mistaken in figures, then his payment will go to the wrong name of the recipient, and it will not be easy to return the funds.

How to distinguish between OCTM and fill it?

OKATO and OCTM differ fundamentally from each other. The previously used OKATO code meant to which administrative entity an organization belongs. It's quite another thing OKTMO. What it is?

According to OCTMO, it is easy to find out to which municipal division the organization belongs. This can be done easily with the help of various services.

At the moment, OCTMO should be indicated on all forms of tax reporting. This is necessary for the convenience of workflow. It is also important to pay tax fees only when specifying OCTM (in this case it is necessary to choose a classifier that corresponds to the payer).

It is not difficult to specify the correct classifier. To do this, simply add it to the appropriate field. Now only some documents still require instructions from OKATO, which is practically not used.

By the way, OKATO can also be found through a free service on the official website of the tax service.

Search for classifiers

Due to the fact that the classifier has now become a necessity, it is important to know how to look for OCTM, what it is and what object it refers to.

At the moment, OCTMO can be officially recognized only through the tax service website. This can be done by introducing OKATO. In addition, you can find the required classifier using the specified exact organization address. You can also specify the city where it is located.

An entrepreneur can also look for OCTO on the website of the Ministry of Finance. This can already be done starting this year. However, for this there is no convenient online search engine. You can only download the file and look in it for the necessary classifier.

It is important to remember that often small organizations change their location. It can be an address, or maybe even a city, so if a person often uses OCTO in one organization, he needs to periodically check the relevance of the information. You can also check all the data on the official website of the tax service. By the way, you can also find out the exact address and TIN.
