Tax identification numbers (TIN)

8 December 2012 Most EU countries use Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) to identify taxpayers and facilitate the administration of their national tax affairs. TINs are also useful for identifying taxpayers who invest in other EU countries and are more reliable than other identifiers such as name and address.

In order to facilitate the work of all stakeholders, the European Commission has launched a cooperative project whereby information about TINs that Member States choose to publish is available in one single Internet page including:
  • General information about TINs by country (when the Member State's tax administration has chosen to publish this information): descriptions of the structure and specificities of the national TIN, examples of official documents showing the TINs, national websites and contact points.
  •  An online check module which allows checking the TIN syntax (i.e. algorithm) or, if not available, the TIN structure.

UBS data CD bought for 3.5 million euros by German authorities



4 December 2012 - (Reuters) - German clients of Swiss bank UBS evaded around 204 million euros in taxes, the prosecutors' office in Bochum said on Tuesday.

The undeclared funds were revealed after a data CD bought for 3.5 million euros by authorities in North-Rhine Westphalia was evaluated, uncovering data on investments worth more than 3.5 billion Swiss francs (2.3 billion pounds).
It was unclear how much of this was not declared to the German tax man, the Bochum prosecutor said, adding that an initial estimate showed clients had stashed assets and profits equivalent to 204 million euros in unpaid taxes at UBS.
"As part of the investigation we are looking at whether bank employees helped clients evade taxes," the prosecutor said.
