The Federal Taxation Service (Russian: Федеральная налоговая служба, romanized: Federalnaya nalogovaya sluzhba) or shortly FNS (Russian: ФНС) is the revenue service for the Russian government responsible for overseeing compliance with the tax and levy legislation, ensuring the accuracy of calculations, and verifying the completeness and timeliness of tax and levy payments to the relevant budgets. It was formed on March 19, 2004, after the dissolution of the Ministry for Taxes and Levies.

It is also a federal body of executive authority responsible for ensuring the presentation of claims for mandatory payments in bankruptcy cases and bankruptcy procedures, as well as the Russian Federation's claims under monetary obligations.^{[citation needed]}

The FNS's headquarters is located at 23 Neglinnaya Street, Moscow. Daniil Yegorov is the current commissioner of the Federal Taxation Service.

History

The service was formed in 1991 as The State Taxes Service (Госналогслужба РФ). In December 1998 it was elevated to the rank of Ministry for Tax and Revenue of Russia. In 2004 the Ministry was reorganized as the Federal Tax Service.

Federal Tax Police Service of the Russian Federation existed alongside the Tax Service from 1991 to June 2003, whose functions were split between the new Federal Tax Service and the Taxes Crimes Department of MVD (Управление по налоговым преступлениям МВД).

On 23 October 2026, Ukrainian drones struck the Federal Taxation Service data centre in Gorodets, one of the two main data centres which "stores and processes data from Russian government registers, including centralized tax databases".
