How to speed up account defrosting

Regulators remind that in case, if a bank account has been blocked for tax debts, repayment of debt shall be required as for the purpose of removing such a blocking.

 In order to intensify the unblocking of the account after making payment for the debt, it is recommended to send an appeal to the tax inspectorate to terminate the suspension of possible account transactions on the website of the Federal Tax Service through your personal account and attach legal instruments that confirm the repayment of this debt.

Among other things, the online service of the Federal Tax Service “Operational assistance: Account unblocking” allows you to significantly accelerate account unblocking procedures. This service provides an opportunity to promptly contact the operator of the Help Center to remove any restrictions from the current account. For this purpose, it is necessary to fill out the available special online form, indicating in it following:

• INN (TIN);
• Name of the organization / full name of the entrepreneur;
• BIC of the bank where the account was blocked;
• Phone number for contacting the Federal Tax Service specialists

In addition, you shall select the topic of the question from the suggested list. For instance, “The debt has been repaid, but the account has not been blocked.”

Within one day, following the results of sending the application, you shall receive a call on the phone that was stipulated in the questionnaire and shall be provided with information on the current status of the decision to freeze the account and a possible decision to cancel it.
