The world is moving toward innovation, and most entrepreneurs have already established their enterprises in the UAE. As an entrepreneur conducting business in the United Arab Emirates, you must comply with the state’s tax rules and regulations by obtaining a tax registration number. 

What is a Tax Registration Number (TRN) in UAE?

TRN (Tax Registration/Identifying Number) is a unique number assigned to each business for identification purposes. To file tax, you must first legally register your business, which will grant you a TRN number. 

What is a TRN number, though? 

An organization and an individual have independent identities in the accounting world. The Federal Tax Authority issues a 15-digit number as an identification for your business to officially present it to the government.
The ‘registrant’ is the entity to which the tax identification number UAE has been issued. Your tax ID number UAE will be used on a variety of government papers and will be assigned to you automatically once you register for VAT. The government will use it to track your transactions. The UAE tax identification number is made up of 15 numbers in the format 100-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
