TaxTIN number for UAE e-invoicing
What is a TIN in the UAE?
The TIN (Tax Identification Number) is a 10-digit identifier introduced by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), mainly for the e-invoicing system. It is the first 10 digits of the 15-digit Tax Registration Number (TRN) issued to entities registered with the FTA.
Officially, the TIN is taken from the Corporate Tax TRN. If you are part of a tax group, your TIN is the first 10 digits of your own Corporate Tax TRN, not the tax group representative’s TRN.
Where to find it: log in to the EmaraTax portal and open the taxable person’s dashboard. Your TIN for e-invoicing onboarding is shown there.
Not registered for VAT or Corporate Tax? If your business falls within e-invoicing’s scope, you must register with the FTA through EmaraTax to obtain a TIN.
