Papers confirming that an individual has a solvent status may be needed when receiving benefits, loans, when visiting a foreign country or when registering an adopted child in a family. However, how to confirm the amount of previously received income if the enterprise where the person worked is closed? Who will issue a certificate if a person is in fact considered unemployed?
Help 2-NDFL
general information
A certificate issued in form 2-NDFL is an official document confirming the level of income of a citizen.
On its basis, the solvency status is determined and a decision is made by the interested party to apply financial or organizational measures to the owner of the document. The certificate is submitted to the authorized bodies as a statement declaring the level of income received by the employee and confirming the correctness of the taxes accrued and paid on him. It can be issued personally to the person whose information is reflected in the document.
Reorganization
With fundamental changes in the organization of a business, as opposed to liquidation, everything is not as transparent as it might seem at first glance. If the structure was restructured in the middle of the year, then the procedure by which to submit the 2-NDFL certificate - reorganization or liquidation - will depend on the type of structure changes.
The process with a joint stock company or with a limited liability company can take place in the form of a merger, separation, accession, transformation, division. Such types are established by the Law on LLC and the Law on JSC.
In this situation, several options need to be considered:
- If any of the legal entities ceases to operate during the changes;
- When there is a separation of one company from another;
- Merger of several companies and formation of a new legal entity.
Why is it needed?
Every person of able-bodied status was faced with the need to obtain a document that would confirm his level of profitability. It is required to be presented to the lender when issuing a loan, since the person providing his funds for use prefers to make sure that the borrower will be able to pay off his obligations in the future. The applied interest rate and the term for which the loan is provided may depend on the information displayed in the document.
The certificate will be required when registering a pledge and surety, as well as when an individual applies for tax benefits, compensation payments and alimony. It must be issued when obtaining a visa, and in some situations when applying for a new job. The amount of your income will need to be confirmed during legal proceedings and when calculating pension payments.
Accountant's Directory
The name of the enterprise is entered so that it corresponds to the charter or other constituent document, taxpayer identification number, last name, first name and patronymic of the individual, code of the reason for which registration is taking place. The enterprise code corresponding to the All-Russian Classifier, administrative-territorial division, as well as the company’s telephone number for contact are also indicated.
- To obtain a loan for the purchase of goods or an apartment. The certificate indicates the actual receipt of income and the making of necessary payments.
- To apply for benefits or benefits.
- To the employee’s new place of work for correct tax deductions.
Where to get a certificate
The income document is requested by the interested person at the place of his study or work. According to the provisions of legal acts, an individual must submit a written request for the issuance of a certificate, after which the tax agent is obliged to issue it within three days.
The request is written in any form addressed to management in the form of a request. It must reflect specific information about who needs the certificate, for what purposes and for what period. The date the letter was issued and the applicant’s signature are required elements.
In practice, issues regarding the issuance of a certificate are resolved through oral and not recorded negotiations.
Obtaining a certificate from your previous place of work
Information about income and taxes paid on it in the taxpayer’s personal account
When a person is dismissed, in the future period calculated from the date of termination of the employment contract, he may need a certificate of previously received income. The employer cannot refuse to issue it for the period if no more than four years have passed since the date of dismissal. If the organization no longer exists, then the documentary issue is resolved through the tax office.
Refusal to issue
The employer does not have the right to refuse to issue paper if the applicant is officially employed or was previously on the staff of the enterprise.
A problem with registration may arise if tax payments have not been made for a person. This is typical when the head of the company does not employ the people whose labor he uses, or in the case of an official payment of the minimum wage and additional payments of funds that in fact do not belong to the category of wages, and for this reason contributions are not withheld from them. Labor relations according to this scheme can result in troubles for both participants. The employee will not be able to obtain a truly solvent status, and the employer may be subject to administrative penalties with the imposition of considerable penalties.
If an employer refuses a person’s verbal request for a certificate, he must fill out a corresponding application. If the manager refuses to accept him, a request should be sent by mail with a notification option and a list of attachments. If a currently unemployed, but previously employed citizen needs a certificate for the period in which he officially worked, then the employer does not have the right to refuse to issue a document on his solvency status for the previous period.
Personal income tax certificate
If a person is denied his legal right to receive a document, then he has the right to contact the labor inspectorate. An individual can defend his interests only if there is documentary evidence of attempts to resolve the issue through negotiations. As a result of such actions, the person will receive a certificate, and the company will be fined. Additionally, the labor inspectorate will schedule an unscheduled inspection, during which other violations may be identified.
Illegal transactions
Situations often occur when official income is not high enough to take out a loan. In this case, illegal attempts are made to obtain a 2NDFL document. To what extent does this contradict current legislation and what are the chances of being caught providing a counterfeit?
In connection with the tightening of the requirements of financial institutions (banks, credit organizations, etc.) to the package of documents, a new segment of services has emerged.
Some companies offer to purchase various fake certificates and statements at fairly reasonable prices.
They may be needed in the following cases:
- To obtain a loan. Insufficient monthly income may be grounds for refusal by the bank. The fake certificate indicates the optimal income indicators according to the requirements of the financial organization.
- Lack of official work experience.
Confirmation of experience - entries in the work book. Find out how to fill out a work book correctly. An individual entrepreneur can enter into a civil contract with an employee. Do you know why?
It is not difficult to fill out the consignment note form TORG-12. There is an example in the article.
Buy a certificate
Before considering the option of purchasing a false certificate, you need to try all legal methods. If there are no other options other than purchasing a forged document, you can attempt to purchase it. The cost of such a certificate ranges from 3,000 to 6,500 rubles.
However, you should be prepared for certain risks:
- Fraud. An advance payment or the full amount for the service is taken without actually providing a package of documents.
- Registration of many similar certificates on behalf of one organization. Such information can be tracked in banking structures and will become a reason for refusing lending.
- Non-existent organization. To verify the fact of economic activity of the entity and registration with government agencies, you can use the available services. Even a non-specialist can detect such a fake.
Remember that by purchasing a forged document, you are violating the criminal code. This entails a certain responsibility.
Fake
It should be noted that providing such certificates is a criminal offense. It falls under the category of manufacturing or selling counterfeit documents (Article 237 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In fact, it is difficult to determine this fact.
Tax authorities are not authorized to provide information on citizens' income to commercial organizations.
Therefore, the fact of forgery can only be revealed during the trial. This is often due to non-payment of accounts payable.
The procedure for obtaining a 2NDFL certificate is not just another bureaucratic mechanism. With a correct understanding of its essence and registration procedure, you can significantly save time when applying for a loan, obtaining a visa or benefits.

When a business entity is liquidated, it is excluded from the list of legal entities and it loses its status as a tax agent. For this reason, the citizen has no one to turn to for help due to the actual absence of the object.
In such a situation, legal acts provide for the execution of papers confirming the solvent status at the inspection department of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties located at the place of registration of the liquidated company.
All financial statements are transferred for four-year storage to the organization, where they are kept until they are transferred to the archive. The interested party must contact the inspectorate with a request, which should reflect the data of the enterprise, clarify that it was liquidated at the time of the application, and also indicate for what period information on income is needed. The application must be accompanied by a copy of the work book, including a page confirming the employee’s length of service at the enterprise from which information is required about the income received.
