The group of enterprises, regardless of their size, shall utilize a single tax identification number.
Registrant – the name of the entity to which the TRN is assigned – must include its tax number on state-issued documents, such as tax returns, tax invoices, and other documentation. Those businesses that have been assigned a TRN may charge and reclaim VAT. Without a tax identification number, no value-added tax is applicable.
