The Federal Taxation Service (Russian: Федеральная налоговая служба, romanizedFederalnaya nalogovaya sluzhba) or shortly FNS (Russian: ФНС) is a federal body of executive authority in Russia responsible for carrying out state registration of legal entities and natural persons as individual entrepreneurs and farmsteads. It was formed on March 19, 2004, after the dissolution of the Ministry for Taxes and Levies.
