Since 2014, when making payments and transfers in banks, it is required to indicate the UIN - a unique accrual identifier. Without writing such a code, the payment simply will not reach the addressee, which is why the question is still relevant: "How to find out the UIN of an organization?" Let's answer it in detail.

Transcript

UIN is a combination of 20 digits. Each character or group of characters carries certain information.

It looks something like this: 111 2 333 333 333 333 333 4, where:

• 111 - code of the payee;
• 2 - "empty" number, most often it is 0;
• 333 333 333 333 333 - these fifteen digits represent the identification number or index of this document;
• 4 - check number calculated by a special algorithm.

Why is this code needed?

This number perfectly simplifies the distribution of money transfers to the state budget. After its introduction, the share of unexplained receipts - tax, customs, etc. - significantly decreased. The code must be specified at:

• Pay for services providedfederal, regional, local authorities.
• Sending any other payments whose addressee is the budget system of the Russian Federation. First of all, this includes the payment of tax fees.

How to find out UIN?

Finding out the UIN is easy - it should be provided to you by the budgetary organization to which you are sending the payment. In the vast majority of cases, personal appeal is not required - this information is available on the official website of the institution. Also, this code can be written in the 22nd line of the receipt issued to you.

Otherwise, you will have to contact the accounting department of the organization. However, far from all budgetary institutions form UIN - only those to which payments of various profiles come.

The code can also be prompted by a bank employee - for example, the addressee, in whose direction another client sent a similar payment. However, employees of credit institutions do not officially possess such information and are not required to provide it.

When paying taxes, you should find out this code directly at the inspection or by calling the service hotline.

If you have not found where to find the UIN code, then in extreme cases, ask the cashier to write "0" in this field. If it just stays blank, your payment will "hang".

Where does it indicate?

If you form the payment order yourself, then you need to specify the UIN in a special field - "Purpose of payment". First you need to write "UIN", and thenimmediately, without spaces, indicate 20 digits of this code. Field number - 22.

Where is the code not used?

No need to wonder: "How to find out the UIN code?" - in the following cases:

• If taxes are transferred by an individual entrepreneur or a legal entity. These payers prescribe the CCC code. If you need to specify additional data for the payment, then the following is written: "UIN0///…(required information for identification)".
• Individual pays property tax. The identifier is the index of the document.
• When paying for medical services. If there is no information about this on the official website of the medical institution, then in the column of the payment document "UIN" it is enough to simply put the number "0".
• Cashless payments sent by entrepreneurs. Here, too, in the field for entering this identifier, it is enough to write "0".

UIN and paying taxes

How to find out the UIN, taxpayers are also interested. However, in their case there is no cause for concern:

• At the place of registration, a citizen receives an automatically completed application form No. PD in the mailbox. The code is there, among other things. With this paper, you only need to appear at the bank that accepts such payments.
• If you want to pay property tax online, then after registering on the electronic service of the Federal Tax Service you can create a similar "payment", which the system will already fill in with all the necessary information. By the way, hercan be printed and also paid at the bank.
• In other cases, you can simply put zero in field 22 of the receipt. If you wish to pay tax without specifying a code, you should make a payment at Sberbank according to the "payment" form No. PD-4sb. Only full name, registration address, TIN are indicated here.

UIN and traffic police fines

If you want to pay a traffic police fine, then you don’t need to wonder how to find out the UIN. The code will generate a cashier based on the following information:

• Serial number of the issued protocol.
• Date of the protocol or order.

How to find out UIN the easiest way? The surest way is to contact the organization to which you are sending the payment with this question. Ideally, she should already indicate this identifier on the receipt issued to you.
