Structure
The Tax Identification Number (TIN) is a unique number issued and managed solely by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) for each registered taxpayer. It is an official identifier that cannot be created or assigned by any other party. A TIN comprises of 10 numerical digits: - [1]: UAE country identifier in accordance with GCC agreement. This number must always be "1" - [23456789]: business identifier, generated automatically by the FTA's core tax administration system at the time a person presents themselves for registration - [X]: check digit (mathematically derived by adopting Luhn's algorithm). Luhn's algorithm is as follows: a. Multiply each ODD-placed digit by 2 b. Multiplying each EVEN-placed digit by 1 b.1. If the product is less than 10, the number is retained as it is b.2 If the product is 10 or more, the units place and tens place digits is added to get a single value c. Take the sum of the digits from step b above d. Mod 10 of the unit's place of the sum of the values in step c above
