How to check TRN validity in UAE ?

What is Tax Registration Number (TRN) 
​

Tax Registration Number is a unique number issued by the Federal Tax Authority in United Arab Emirates for each Person/business registered for Tax purposes with objectives of identification, reporting compliance and record-keeping compliance. 
This is also popularly known as a value added tax identification number or VAT identification number in many countries, including the countries of the European Union, for value added tax purposes. 

Businesses in UAE could find their own Tax Registration Number on the VAT registration certificates issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) UAE. Sometimes Tax Registration Number (TRN) is also known / referred  as a VAT registration number. Tax Registration Number (TRN) In India under GST - Goods and Services Tax is referred as Taxpayer’s Identification Number  (TIN) 

Tax Registration Number (TRN) issued in UAE  is a 15 digit number and commonly starts with 100. Example of TRN is 100-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

​Step by step process to verify the Tax Registration Number (TRN) issued in UAE 
​

1.  Visit web site of Federal Tax Authority in United Arab Emirates  www.tax.gov.ae 

2. Look for the TRN VERIFICATION tab on the right side

3. Enter the TRN number to be verified. 

4. Enter CAPTCHA code

5. At this stage the name of the company associated with the entered TRN would be displayed
Why one must verify the Tax Registration Number (TRN) ? 
​

It should be noted that Input VAT could not be claimed back if the VAT is paid to on an invoice issued by a business not holding TRN number, providing wrong TRN number, invoice having in it mentioned TRN on some other company by the act of omission, error or commission for what ever reasons.  

Hence in order to comply with the provision of UAE VAT laws and rules made there under, related to claim of the input vat credit it is important to verify the TRN in all the first dealings with the suppliers of the business. 

Verification of the Tax Registration Number (TRN) is a simple and easy process and could save a business from losses due to bad input credit invoices.
