What is the INN code for Russian companies?

Several months ago I added Feedjit to this blog. It is very helpful if you are interested in understanding of core problems of your auditory. 

Among recent search phrases I found simple but important question “What is the INN code for Russian companies?” I think it’ll be reasonable to give brief and simple answer in a short article.

INN (Russian “Individualiy Nomer Nalogoplatelshika”) is an Individual Tax Number of every Russian company or person.

INN code of a company has 10 digits:

1-4 – Identification number of Federal Tax Service department

5-9 – Unique number of tax payer in the Federal Tax Service department

10 – Control number for validation of the INN code

INN code of a private person has 12 digits:

1-4 – Identification number of Federal Tax Service department

5-10 – Unique number of tax payer in the Federal Tax Service department

11-12 – Control numbers for validation of the INN code

Registration of Russian citizens at their place of residence and work will be simplified

According to Russian media since 01^st of January 2011 registration of Russian citizens at their temporary place of residence and work will be simplified. This initiative of the government is intended to limit illegal labor migration (according to public sources about 3 million Russian citizens) and is said to be the first step towards updating of Russian private persons’ registration system.  We will definitely face some serious changes in background screening procedures and raw data mining when this law will be implemented. I’ll keep you informed about recent changes in private persons’ registration system but yet I don’t have enough data to say something for sure.
