The Federal Tax Service introduces electronic document management in Public Services website

From July 1^st, 2023, the portal of
Public Services for individual taxpayers will be able to use electronic
document management for interaction with the Federal Tax Service (FTS). To do
this, it will be necessary to send a notification to the Federal Tax Service
about the need to obtain documents using the unified portal of public services.

The list of documents that can be submitted and
received through the personal account is established in the Tax Code of the
Russian Federation. In addition to the documents specified in the Code, the
Federal Tax Service will be able to transmit documents that contain information
about the taxpayer that constitute a tax secret, if the taxpayer has consented
to the provision of such information. Some experts believe that this innovation
will expand the possibilities for the transfer of information and documents
between tax authorities and taxpayers. Also, these changes can serve as a good
example of the interaction of authorities and individuals using modern
technologies, as well as contribute to the further digitalization of the
relationship between government agencies and citizens.

It is worth noting that to switch to electronic
document management with the tax authority, it is necessary to have a valid
enhanced unqualified electronic signature, with which a notification to the
Federal Tax Service is signed. If a person wants to refuse the electronic
exchange of information and documents with the tax service, the portal of
public services will be able to send a notification of refusal on the
corresponding page of the online portal.
