CrimeaPRESS reports:
Running a business is not an easy task and depends not only on the actions of the entrepreneur himself, but also on the reliability of his counterparties. In order to choose a partner who conducts business honestly and has a stable financial condition, the Federal Tax Service offers tools that allow one to draw conclusions about the taxpayer’s reliability.
Verification of the counterparty is necessary not only to minimize tax risks, but also to protect against contractual and reputational losses. For example, the insolvency of a counterparty can lead to delays and the creation of receivables. A contract with an unauthorized person may be recognized by the court as not concluded, and as a result there will be no one to make claims to. Liquidation or bankruptcy of a counterparty will significantly increase the time it takes to fulfill its obligations, and besides, there may not be enough money for all creditors. In addition, poor quality work of the counterparty may affect the attitude of other partners or clients towards the company, for example, if a defect is discovered or the order cannot be completed in a timely manner.
Using the tools offered by the tax office will help you analyze information about your partner and protect yourself. This is an electronic service. «Transparent business»which allows you to obtain comprehensive information contained in various registers and combines several electronic services of the Federal Tax Service.

- disqualified persons,
- Unified Register of Small and Medium Enterprises,
- State register of accredited branches, representative offices of foreign legal entities,

Through the service you can find out whether your partner applies special tax regimes. Such data may be needed, for example, in order to understand whether a business partner will be able to issue a VAT invoice.
Besides, «Transparent business» will provide information on whether the counterparty has enough employees to fulfill its obligations under the contract.
The resource also contains information on the amounts of taxes and insurance premiums paid in a calendar year, taxes paid in connection with the import of goods into the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union, information on the amounts of income and expenses according to the accounting (financial) statements of the organization, information on amounts of debt, information about tax offenses indicating the total amount of the fine and other information that allows you to draw conclusions about the financial condition of the counterparty.
