Tax identification numbers are issued to taxpayers or businesses by the relevant tax office at their place of residence or registered office. This may change over time or depending on your place of residence. You will receive your tax identification number after you have submitted your first tax return or registered a business. You can find your tax identification number, for example, on your latest VAT assessment.

The tax number consists of 10–11 digits, divided into several blocks of numbers. These are often separated by slashes so that they stand out more clearly from the tax ID number.

Example: 12/345/6789 or 30 456 12345 --> We require this number in your notification of VAT status.
