Checking the counterpartee to avoid tax claims and banks

Violators use a lot of techniques for reducing taxation or full tax treatments. To reduce the visible part of profits and taxation on VAT, one-day firms are often used. Partnership with such companies can hit the reputation of your company.

The concept of conducting exit tax audits by the state controlling body with its own paragraph No. 12 (maintaining economic activities with high tax risk) involves holding an exit tax audit (VPN) of the company that was seen in cooperation with a dubious individual entrepreneur (IP) or company.

In this case, when checking, the tax authorities will be guided by the Decree of the PAS No. 53, in which the need for due diligence and caution (DOPO) is legally justified by the person who makes a financial transaction.

Cooperation with unreliable companies can turn into for you and other problems. Such as:

• Unintentional non-payment of NP, VAT and subsequent tax liability;
• Recalculation of income tax (NP), its detachment;
• Refusal of tax authorities in reducing the tax base and recognizing costs reasonable;
• Breaking current transactions;
• Fines and penalties;
• Deterioration of the reputation of its own company;
• Refusal of controlling bodies in the decrease in VAT;
• Recalculation of value added tax (ND), its detachment;
• Financial losses.

There are risks and other financial problems in cooperation with unscrupulous partners.

However, it is possible to avoid a difficult situation. There are more than 17 ways to verify the counterparty for unscrupiance. These methods are formally divided into 5 main positions. Following these points will save from problems with government tax authorities and from fraud on the part of one-day firms. These items are shown below:

• Personal discussion with a representative-partner company (counterparty) possible problems and nuances of the transaction;
• Request from the partner of the transaction of relevant documents confirming the reliability of the company;
• Obtaining information from individuals who have already conducted transactions with this company: IP (individual entrepreneur), organization, seller, supplier, intermediary, etc.
• Search on the Internet all available information about the company, including the latest reviews and monitoring of the company's website;
• Specialized electronic check services (FMS FSSP, RNP, FTS, FAS, etc.);
• Direct appeal to the State Tax Inspectorate.

Consider in more detail the main points of self-inspection of the affiliate company.

Before entering into the first transaction with a previously unknown counterparty, it is worth requesting a package of documents that confirms the consistency of the company. It includes:

1. Extract from the certificate of registration with the tax authority;
2. Company Charter;
3. License to admission to specialized types of work (when conducting specific transactions;
4. Extract from the certificate of state registration;
5. A certified copy of the passport and the order for the employment of persons with the authority of the signature;

This is the minimum needed list of documents. Additionally, you can request:

1. Address of the company's website;
2. Available reviews and recommendations from previous partners or their contact details;
3. Certificate of the availability of employees;
4. Balance reports;
5. Help on the state of budgets.

Almost all major firms, even if they are at a considerable distance from each other, it is mandatory to conduct a preliminary meeting of general directors. This is a reasonable measure, since the conclusion of contracts in electronic form and by mail often raises questions from the tax service.

The priority task for the manifestation of DOWIO is to obtain an extract from the Gosretter Yul. An extract can be obtained in two ways: on the FTS website and through the tax authority. To obtain an extract in the State Tax Service, you need to make a written request in an arbitrary form with an indication of the INN and OGRN of your and affiliate organization, as well as pay a small state duty. The size of the state duty varies from 200 to 400 rubles, depending on the urgency of the request. On the Internet website of the FTS, you can get an electronic extract that will be absolutely equivalent to paper in the legal plan.

State electronic sites give us the opportunity to get acquainted with the large amount of information you are interested in regarding the counterparty. We can check the main data of Yul Company, track changes to the register, check bankruptcy and disqualification of the company's main individuals, as well as much more. Always keep screenshots when working with sites. This can be useful when an on-site tax audit.

Checking legal entities on the tax

The main electronic resource of the inspection is the site of the FTS. To work with the site, you must have a personal electronic account of the taxpayer or to go through the registration procedure. On this site you can spend more than 13 different checks of Yul and IP on reliability. Consider the main of them.

Address: https://egrul.nalog.ru/

Knowing the name of the organization, TIN, OGRN, FULL NAME and the region of residence of IP or KFH, we can find out:

• oKVED partner codes;
• whether there were changes in the registry;
• legal address of the company;
• place and date of registration of IP or firms;
• lee a counterparty in the register;
• information about the founders of the organization (persons with the right signature);

Information is formed into an electronic document with an indication of the FTS website as a source. All extracts from the EGRUL / EGRIP are protected by an enhanced electronic signature (EDS) and are a current legal document.

Documents are provided on the basis of the order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia of December 5, 2013. №115N and paragraph 8 of Article 6 of the Federal Law No. 11.08.2001. № 129-FZ.

This section reflects information about all changes made to the EGRULT and constituent documents of the organization, as well as about the form of changes and the form of their submission: personally or by mail. The submission of documents by mail may indicate the reluctance of the IP or the head of the company to contact with the official bodies.

In this section, at the next point, special attention should be done:

• The presence of decisions on the decrease in the authorized capital, acquiring a large number of shares of another company, liquidation or reorganization of the enterprise. Special caution should be shown if the head of the company is also the owner of a controlling stake in a significant number of other small firms;
• A frequent change of legal addresses and individuals as a general director of the enterprise. This may indicate the unfair maintenance of affairs in this company;
• Exception of Yul from the State Registry.

If there are one or more specified items, you should request an explanation of the counterparty or even stop with it cooperation.

Search for information in the register of disqualified persons.

Only this parameter cannot be considered a full-fledged basis for termination of cooperation with a partner. But the search for such information can positively affect the tax authority. The presence of a document formed on the electronic website for this item is another confirmation of the manifestation of vigilance.

Address: https://service.nalog.ru/disqualified.do.

Legal entities, which are part of the executive bodies of disqualified persons.

This is an additional way to verify the company's manual for disqualification. The disqualified person no longer has the right to sign, the right to dispose of the company's property and conduct financial transactions. The term and cause of disqualification may be different. On the FNS website, you can get information whether disqualification has been subjected to someone from the company's managers.

Addresses specified under state registration as a location of several legal entities

Announced the mass registration address can only be if the organization is located in the business center, as in BC, just as in financial centers, 2 or more companies can actually be located. In other cases, in the eyes of controlling government agencies, this is a violation and indicator of the company's unreliability.

The identification of this violation will indicate that a firm uses several fictitious addresses to carry out any activity and may not even have an actual address, which is unacceptable for reliable and large firms.

Information on persons in respect of which the fact of the impossibility of participation (management) in the organization is established (confirmed) in court

This item is particularly important when carrying out major transactions. It offers an article and a disqualification period.

Information about Yul, the connection with which the address specified by them (location), listed in the register, is missing

Information about YuL, which has debt on paying taxes and / or not submitting tax reporting more than a year

Information about individuals who are managers or founders (participants) of several legal entities

The availability of the partner companies in this list, a sufficient basis to terminate cooperation with it. Registration of many firms for a submarine person is one of the ways of financial fraud. The tax authorities denote such persons with terms: "Mass founder" and "Mass Director".

In addition to the listed items on the FNS website, you can learn about the suspension of operations on the taxpayer's accounts (https://service.nalog.ru/bi.do). This section is most often used to verify the financial consistency of banks. If there is no movement on the bank accounts, quite a long time is likely to be close to bankruptcy.

Other

The next site to which you want to look when checking the counterparty is the site of the federal bailiff service (FSP). It can be found on the inclusion of the company in the register of unscrupulous providers of state procurement, information on the facts of the activities of Yul, as well as on the facts of the participation of Yul in arbitration cases. Information is reflected in specialized registers. That is, through this site, you can learn about the status of the company's executive production, which is very convenient for checking the company supplier.

Legal entities that are taxpayers do not have all the rights and tools that are available to the tax inspectorate for full adherence to DOCI. In particular, the IP cannot independently, for example, form a request to the bank at the place of accounting of a controversial counterparty, so it is impossible to judge with a 100% chance of the chance of counterparty. But observing precautions, you can save ourselves from many risks.
