What is TRN?
TRN stands for Tax Registration Number in UAE. It is a unique 15-digit VAT identification number. It is issued by FTA to businesses and individuals for tax compliance. TRN check is essential in the preparation of tax invoices and other tax-related documents shared between suppliers and buyers for easy transactions.
Why is TRN check important in UAE?
The UAE government introduced VAT on January 1, 2018. With the new law and supporting regulations, it was difficult for the business community to adjust to the new tax regime. There were possibilities of some businesses trying to take advantage of a few provisions to avoid paying taxes or lessen their tax liability. However, with the TRN check, the government can ensure that businesses comply with VAT requirements.
The TRN check enables FTA to keep track of taxpayers and their business transactions to determine the VAT liability. Every business has a unique TRN on its tax invoices. FTA’s TRN checks ensure that the applicable VAT rate is charged at every stage of the production and distribution process and the final taxable amount is transferred to the government. With a valid TRN, a company can apply for tax refunds and recovery to FTA.
