The procedure for confirming the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation
Since 02/18/2008, the issuance of certificates confirming the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Certificate) is carried out by the Interregional Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service for Centralized Data Processing (hereinafter referred to as the MI of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for Data Centers).
A certificate confirming the status of an organization (individual) as a tax resident of the Russian Federation is issued in one copy and is valid for the calendar year in which it is issued.
The certificate can be issued not only for the current calendar year, but also for previous years, subject to the availability of all necessary documents corresponding to the requested period.
Applications from taxpayers regarding the issue of confirmation can be sent to the MI of the Federal Tax Service of Russia via the data center by mail or transferred directly to the expedition of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.
The period for confirming the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation is 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of all necessary documents by the MI of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the data center.
In relation to Russian and international organizations, Certificates confirming the organization's status as a tax resident of the Russian Federation are sent by mail to the address of the legal entity indicated in the Certificate of Registration with the tax authority of the Russian Federation.
For reference. If the actual address of the organization does not coincide with the location address specified in the Tax Registration Certificate, in order to obtain a certificate of the actual address of the organization's location, in addition to the set of documents, you must additionally submit a copy of the notification of the tax authority about the change in the actual address with a mark from the tax authority on its acceptance .
For individuals, certificates confirming the individual’s status as a tax resident of the Russian Federation are sent by mail to the address specified in the application or handed over to the taxpayer or his authorized representative.
Certificate of tax residence
A certificate of tax residency of both a legal entity and an individual is documentary evidence of the fact that this person has the status of a tax resident of the Russian Federation. The official name of such a certificate is “Confirmation of permanent residence in the Russian Federation.”
Important! A resident, in turn, is understood as a legal or natural person registered in a specific location in a specific country, for example, a resident of the Russian Federation.
This status is necessary for certainty in the payment of taxes to the budget of a particular state. At the same time, when determining the status of an individual, his stay in the Russian Federation for 183 days over a consecutive 12 month period . This period will not be interrupted if the person stays outside the Russian Federation for less than 6 months for the purpose of treatment, training, work or provision of certain services (
Resident Responsibilities
To qualify as a tax resident, you don't need much. You will need to stay in Russia for at least 183 days a year, and traveling abroad for reasons such as study or service will not have a negative impact. However, if within 12 months you have not been in the Russian Federation for the required minimum period of time, then you are subject to the loss of Russian tax residency.
When a legal entity is resident, the income tax will be 20% of income revenue in Russia, for individuals it is 13%, and for persons who do not have a residence certificate, the tax will be 30%.
Tax residents also need to declare controlled foreign companies if the ownership share exceeds 5%. And legal entities need to additionally declare funds and trusts.

In the event that a controlled foreign company has earned a profit exceeding 10 million rubles during the year, according to Russian laws it is necessary to pay a tax of 13 and 20%. Organizations that do business in the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, as well as the FATF, can avoid this need. But the list of states with mandatory taxation is much larger.
It often happens that the holder of tax residency in the Russian Federation also has currency residency, which means that he is additionally required to provide information about his foreign bank accounts and money receipts throughout the year.
Until recently, it was much easier to give up tax residency, since you could be absent from the Russian Federation for the entire year and your status could be returned even with a single visit to the country.

Why do you need a tax residence certificate?
Important! Typically, a tax residence certificate is required in cases where a person (legal or individual) begins any cooperation with foreign companies.
For an individual, this certificate will serve as a basis for avoiding double taxation. And for legal entities, a certificate is needed when working with organizations from other countries. Thus, confirmation of status and receipt of a certificate will be required in the following cases:
- When a Russian company provides services to a foreign company (sale of goods). In this case, in order to avoid double taxation, the foreign company requests confirmation of its status from the Russian organization.
- In case of provision of services to a foreign company by an individual entrepreneur or an individual. In order to avoid double taxation, a foreign company requests this certificate from an individual.
- When a Russian organization or individual receives income from participation in the activities of a foreign company (the participant receives income in the form of dividends).
- For submission to a foreign authority upon appropriate request.

Apostille on the certificate
It is important to remember that a residence certificate is always intended for other countries, which means that in order to understand the contents of such a document, it must be drawn up in an understandable language. For this purpose, an apostille is affixed to the certificate. It is affixed to a copy of the certificate, which is certified by a notary, but only if the country for which this certificate is intended is a party to the Hague Convention . Otherwise, the apostille will not be affixed, but a legalization procedure will be required.
How to get an answer
Choose the most convenient way to obtain a certificate of residence of a legal entity:
- on the inspection website;
- by mail to the address specified in the application.
The information provided in the document is valid for 12 months. Issued exactly for the year that you indicate in the application. You can receive several copies at once. But this must be noted in the application.
It happens that the fiscal department does not issue a certificate. In such a situation, the applicant is sent a justified refusal. You can try to eliminate the shortcomings - collect evidence and ask for an answer again. The period for studying papers is 40 days.
If you need to confirm your tax status, take care of this in advance. Collect documents and send them to MIFTS in a convenient way.
