Taxes are one of the types of mandatory payments to the budget, which not only entrepreneurs and large companies, but also ordinary residents of the country, regardless of their place of residence or nationality, must pay from their incomes. But if earlier the calculation and collection of taxes and tributes was more chaotic, today, in an era of progress, with the help of a computer, you can easily determine the amount that must be paid to the state.
Online Tax Debt Check
Sometimes an ordinary person who is not privy to the details of tax legislation does not know that when buying a car or winning the lottery, he must pay a certain tax. But when he finds out about it, quite often the tax arrears already exist. Moreover, in addition to the main payment, fines and penalties have already been charged, and this entails considerable financial costs.
Not so long ago, in order to find out the tax arrears, it was necessary to contact the tax office, while standing in a long queue. But today, convenient online services have been created on the official sites, by visiting which, you can find out the reliable amount of the tax payment. The main portals where you can find out if there is a debt on tax payments are: the service of the Tax Service of the Russian Federation and the online portal of State Services.
How to find out tax arrears according to TIN
Thanks to the improved service of progressive Internet technologies, it has become much easier for an individual to find out the number of taxes and charges. Since 2013, there has been a convenient service created by the Tax Service of the Russian Federation so that every citizen of the country, using the TIN, can find out what types of taxes he is obliged to pay, whether there is a debt, and in what amount.
To find out the tax arrears on the TIN on this resource, you will need an individual taxpayer number, which is assigned to each person by the tax service. For entrepreneurs, the SP code duplicates the TIN as an individual.
To enter the portal, you must first create a personal account by registering in the appropriate form. After assigning a password and gaining access to the portal data, you can find out information about the debt for the following taxes:
- Personal income tax (personal income tax);
- property tax;
- land tax;
- transport tax.
Moreover, on the site you can draw up and print the necessary payment receipt, on which you can later pay taxes at any bank.
How to find out the debt on taxes and fines on the "Gosuslugi" portal
Unlike the FTS portal, on the State Service website you can get more detailed confidential data on the accrued taxes, but the registration process will take a little more time and will require the introduction of more detailed information.
To enter the site and gain access to information, you must complete a mandatory registration. To obtain data on tax arrears, it is enough to pass the initial registration:
- go on the website;
- enter your last name, first name and mobile phone number (email address if there is no phone);
- press the registration button;
- after receiving the access code in SMS to the phone or message to the mail, enter the numbers in the appropriate field and confirm the operation.
All that remains is to come up with a password and use it to enter the portal. In this way, you can check for tax debts and find out the deadline for its repayment. But in order to obtain a more detailed report during registration, additional identifying information will be required, and in some cases, the need to verify identity.
Visiting a tax office also remains an effective way to obtain information about debt. To get a certificate confirming tax arrears or lack thereof, you need to stock up on time and patience and go to the local FTS office with your passport.
