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.

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.
