Your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is the number your country's tax authority uses to identify you. In most EU countries it is printed on your national ID card or on official tax correspondence, so you probably already have it at hand. Find your country below.

Tips before you submit
- Enter your TIN exactly as it appears on your official document.
- Use your personal tax number, not a document number. ID cards and passports also carry a document number, which is not your TIN.
- Tax resident in more than one country? You will need to provide a TIN for each country you declare.
- Can't find your TIN? Your tax authority can confirm it, usually through your online tax portal or a quick call. Venga cannot look it up for you.
