BIC - Bank Identification Code.

BIC – a unique nine-digit code of a credit organization. It is designed to identify actors of payment operations and is a necessary element of the requisites in any bank. BIC is used in payment documents inside Russia. It identifies the name, and correspondent account of the bank and the region the bank belongs to as well as the Russian Central Bank division which registered the bank and provides support to it.
The code is assigned by the Russian Central Bank. It is the Central Bank which is in charge of the BIC classification. The structure of the code and order according to which the code registry is operated are defined in the Russian Central Bank Regulation №225-П, May 6, 2003 “On the registry of the Bank Identification Codes belonging to actors conducting payment operations through the accounting system of the Russian Central Bank”.
Under this document a BIC has the following structure:
• the first 2 digits signify the code of the Russian Federation (“04”);
• the 3rd and 4th digits stand for the federal region of Russia according to the “All-Russia classifier of units of administrative and territorial division” OK 019-95 (OKATO) adopted at the decision of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Standardization and Metrology, July 31, 1995, № 413. If these numbers are “00” that means that the bank division is situated outside of Russia;
• the 5th and 6th digits represent the nominal number of a division of the Russian Central Bank accounting system or the nominal number of a division of the Russian Central Bank. The code may range from “00”-”99”
• the 7th through 9th digits – the nominal number of a credit organization stored by the Russian Central Bank accounting system division which operates the correspondent account of the credit organization. The numbers may range from “050”-”999”. They have the value of “000” for cash-processing centers within the Russian Central Bank system. For the principle cash-processing center and other divisions performing its functions the assigned value is “001”. Other divisions of the Russian Central Bank accounting system are assigned “002”. The BIC registry can be found on the Russian Central Bank website. The official website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation hosts the distributive of a set of programs named “BIC registry” (“Справочник БИК”). To search a bank by its BIC the distributive must be installed on the computer.

TRN
- Taxpayer reference number.

TRN is a digital code harmonizing the registration of taxpayers. It is assigned to both natural and legal persons. Organizations have been assigned TRNs since 1993 while individual entrepreneurs – since 1997. Other natural persons have been assigned that since 1999 (since the entering into force of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
• The TRN of a natural person is a string of 12 digits with the first 2 digits being the code of a federal subject of Russia under article 65 of the Constitution. The next two digits are the number of the local tax office. The following six digits represent a taxpayer's registry number. The last two digits stand for so-called “control digits” to ensure the registration number is correct.
• The TRN of an individual entrepreneur is assigned to a natural person upon his registration as an individual entrepreneur provided the person has not had it up to the moment of registration. Otherwise the current TRN is used.
• The TRN of a legal person is a string of 10 digits with the first two digits being the code of a federal subject of Russia under article 65 of the Constitution (or “99” for the interregional office of the Federal Tax Service of Russia). The next two digits are the number of the local tax office. The following five digits stand for the tax registration code of a taxpayer in the Unified State Register of Taxpayers. The last digit is the “control digit”. The TRN of a legal person is assigned to an organization upon its registration in a tax office which is in charge of legal persons' registration. The TRN together with RCC help identify every isolated division of a legal person. That is why both codes are often displayed together, for example, when specifying an organization's payment requisites.

TRRC- Tax Registration Reason Code.

TRRC is assigned to organizations in addition to TRN following their registration in various tax offices: at the place of registration of the persons and their remote divisions and at the place of registration as the proprietor of real estate property and means of transportation. The TRRC identifies what tax office a legal person is assigned to as well as the reason for the tax registration. Therefore, one organization can have several TRRC. Under the ruling of the Federal Tax Service of Russia passed March 3, 2004 № БГ-3-09/178 the structure of TRRC is a nine-digit number (NNNNPPXXX) with NNNN being the code of the tax office that registered the organization, PP being the reason for registration (for Russian organizations these symbols may range from 1-50 and from 51-99 for foreign ones), XXX being the serial number of a registration in the territorial tax office (the digits represent the number of instances that the organization has been registered for the specified reason). TRRC is an essential requisite for bank transfer orders and various accounting and tax documents. But this refers to legal persons only. Individual entrepreneurs are not assigned such codes so that they are not required to fill out this requisite. Alternatively, they may put “o” in its place. A combination of TRN and TRRC allows an unerring identification of any organization (enterprise).

ARCEAT is the All-Russia Classifier of Economic Activity Types.

ARCEAT is used to officially register legal persons, individual entrepreneurs and agricultural (farm) households. The ARCEAT is harmonized with the official Russian version of the Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 1) (Статистическая классификация видов экономической деятельности в Европейском экономическом сообществе (КДЕС Ред. 1)) by copying the codes (up to 4 digits) and names of corresponding positions without any changes made to the definitions from NACE Rev. 1 to ARCEAT. The particularities reflecting the Russian economy needs for detalization of types of activities are present in ARCEAT in 5-6-digit groupings. ARCEAT has replaced the All-Union Classifier of Economy Branches (AUCEB) and parts 1 and 4 of the All-Russia Classifier of Types of Economic Activity, Products and Services (ACAP) pertaining to economic activity. The effective ARCEAT OK 029-2001 (NACE Rev. 1) was adopted at the decision of the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology № 454-ст passed Novermber 6, 2001 and put to effect January 1, 2003. The classification of economic activity types in ARCEAT is done according to characteristics reflecting the sphere of activity, production procedures or technology. ARCEAT codes do not specify the form of ownership, procedural and legal forms and departmental affiliation of legal persons. There is no distinction between internal and external trade, profit and non-profit types of economic activities. An economic activity type code of ARCEAT is as follows: XX.XX.XX, with XX being the class, XX.X being the subclass, XX.XX – the group, XX.XX.X – the subgroup, XX.XX.XX – the kind.
