What is Tax Registration Number?
The tax registration number in Dubai, also known as a VAT registration number, is a distinctive 15-digit code assigned by the FTA to each business. The tax authority uses this number to identify your business or differentiate it from other organizations.
Your TRN is generated and issued only once. Even if your company has different branches or engages in multiple activities, it will have a single TRN. Unless you receive your TRN certificate, you cannot charge VAT from your clients or customers.
