Certificate of turnover on current account

The difference between this document and a certificate of existing accounts is that it reflects information not about open accounts, but about incoming and outgoing transactions for one or more of them.

You may need it:

  • for obtaining a loan;
  • tax inspectorate for calculating payments;
  • in case of a desk tax audit;
  • sometimes - to approve your business plan.

Help form

A taxpayer may need a form of a certificate of open current accounts from the Federal Tax Service to monitor accounts included in the tax base. After the bank employee receives an application from the entrepreneur requesting the provision of an act, he registers the request and assigns an incoming number for it. Next, responsibility passes to the employee who works with entrepreneurs and legal entities. A businessman may discover some error in the tax base. He can provide the Federal Tax Service with reliable information on his own in such a situation.

Certificates of open accounts are currently issued by all tax authorities. In order to obtain a certificate from the territorial branch of the tax authority, you must fill out an application. This can be done in any form. It also happens when an entrepreneur submitted an application in accordance with all the rules, but the tax service specialists made a mistake when entering data into the database. In this case, the company’s accountant or lawyer working for the company can also ask for a certificate.

Who issues certificates about the status of current accounts

Where can I get such a certificate? There are 2 options:

  • contacting the tax office;
  • contacting a credit institution.

In this case, the request is made on the official letterhead of the company, and the manager puts his signature and seal.

A sample certificate could look like this.

Sample certificate of open current accounts

The tax service has an obligation to issue this document upon your request. The certificate can be drawn up at any branch of the Federal Tax Service in the Russian Federation.

Contacting a bank is an alternative option. Most often, they simply receive information about whether legal entities are open. persons in a given bank account. In this case, there is no Federal Tax Service stamp.

Checking the received certificate

After the certificate is received, it is necessary to check its composition. It must contain correct information about all current bank accounts of the legal entity. Accordingly, you need to check whether the document contains:

  1. Indications for bank accounts of a legal entity.
  2. Names of financial organizations whose client the company is (if the current account is opened in a non-bank organization, the information should still be displayed in the certificate).
  3. Identification information.
  4. An indication of the currency in which each current account is opened.

Thus, a legal entity can contact the tax service to obtain a certificate of open accounts. To do this, you need to collect documents and submit a written request to the place of registration. The sample application posted above will allow you to fill out the document without errors.

You can obtain the document from a bank or the Federal Tax Service. In the first case, the certificate will contain information about accounts in only one bank, therefore, if you have open accounts in different banks, you will have to contact each of them.

You can order a certificate from the Federal Tax Service about all open accounts. It takes longer to do, but contains all the necessary information and frees the manager from going to banks.

The document may be necessary if certain situations arise:

  • conducting negotiations with investors on further planning for investing funds in the project;
  • approval of the enterprise’s business plan;
  • planning a desk tax audit;
  • preparation of company documentation for participation in tenders, government procurement, auctions;
  • reorganization, liquidation of an enterprise;
  • request from the Prosecutor's Office, Arbitration Court;
  • preparation of documentation for obtaining a loan.

When liquidating an enterprise, the liquidation commission, based on the certificate received, will be able to assess the actual position of the enterprise and make an informed decision about the fate of the business entity.

The obligation to provide information on current accounts is prescribed in Article 86 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

Other people's accounts

The claimant, if he has a writ of execution with an unexpired deadline for presentation for execution, has the right to apply to the tax authority with an application for the provision of this information.

The claimant can apply for the specified information to any territorial tax authority, including the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate (or the Federal Tax Service) at its location.

A properly completed request can be sent by mail (if it is necessary to obtain confirmation of receipt by the addressee - by registered mail with notification), or presented to the tax authority in person (through an authorized representative - by power of attorney).

In all other cases of sending a request with a copy of the writ of execution attached, certified by an authorized official of the collecting organization, the tax authority will verify the accuracy of the received copy of the writ of execution (by sending a corresponding request to the court that issued this writ of execution).

Tax authorities provide the requested information within 7 days from the date of receipt of the request.

In most cases, the document is issued within 5 working days. Delays may occur if there are a large number of registered current accounts in different banks, as well as due to technical problems (for example, performing maintenance work on the Federal Tax Service servers).

As a rule, even when submitting a request for a certificate, the tax representative indicates when the document will be ready or sent to the address specified in the application.

If more than a month has passed since the application, but no document or written explanation has been received from the tax office, then this is a sufficient reason to contact law enforcement agencies or the prosecutor’s office. And even written explanations from the Federal Tax Service are not taken into account. If, due to the lack of a certificate, an entrepreneur, for example, had a profitable deal fall through, then he will be able to demand compensation in the amount of the potential profit that he lost. But in practice such cases are very rare. The final amount of compensation is determined by the court in which the case was heard.
