Tax Registration Number. Tax registration number, for example, a supplier's value-added tax (VAT) registration number. You enter a tax registration number for a supplier if they are required to pay or report on Value-Added Taxes (VAT).

Taxpayer ID. Tax Identification Number (TIN) for a supplier. If a supplier is an individual, the TIN is his/her social security number. If a supplier is a corporation or a partnership, the TIN is also known as a Federal Identification Number. In many countries a fiscal code is the principal means of identifying and querying suppliers. The fiscal code is unique across all entities and appears on all official documentation. You can enter a fiscal code in the Taxpayer ID field of the Suppliers Summary or detail window and in the Define Reporting Entities window. The Taxpayer ID you enter here will be displayed in all supplier lists of values to aid in uniquely identifying your suppliers. See also: Taxpayer ID and Tax Registration ID Validation.
