The OKATO code must be indicated in payment orders formed for the transfer of taxes to the budget. An error in this meaning is fraught with the fact that the payment will not be credited, and the taxpayer will be in the list of debtors. You can find out your OKATO code using the service "Fill in a payment order", available on the main page of the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia.

Instruction manual
1
If you know the four-digit code of your inspection, you just need to enter it into the search form and click on the "Next" button. In the inspection code, the first two digits are the code for your region, usually the same as that written on the license plate numbers of cars (Kostroma Oblast - 44, Yaroslavl Oblast - 76, Moscow - 77, etc.). The rest is the serial number of the inspection. You can also find out the code at your registration address using the "Find out the IFTS address" service, also available on the main page of the Russian Federal Tax Service website. In large cities and rural areas, the responsibility of one inspection may include several municipalities. In this case, the service will prompt you to choose your own.

An alternative is also possible. Leave the inspection code field blank and immediately click “Continue”. The service will prompt you to select a region, region or city, city, street from the drop-down lists. Having marked all the relevant parameters for your case, click "Next" once again.

On the page that opens next, you can see the code of the tax office itself, OKATO and OKATOM, which must be indicated in the corresponding columns of the payment document.
The OKATOM code is important if the inspection (and the OKATO code refers specifically to it) serves several municipalities. Each of them has its own OKATOM. And when paying taxes that come precisely to the budget of the municipality, in particular the single imputed income tax (UTII), this set of numbers plays a key role. If the boundaries of the municipality and the area of responsibility of the inspection coincide, the OKATO code is usually sufficient.
Useful advice
If you are an individual entrepreneur, all codes relevant to you, including OKATO, are contained in a certificate from the statistics agency that you received after registering the IP.
