Tax Identification Number update
UAE e-Invoicing Regulatory requirement related to Customer Tax Identification Number (TIN) update.
As part of the UAE e-Invoicing Regulatory Program, all DIB Business Customers are required to update their records with the Tax Identification Numbers (TIN). This requirement supports regulatory compliance and enables the Bank to issue compliant invoices and report transactions in line with UAE e-invoicing regulations.
DIB Business Banking customers are requested to share a copy of their Corporate Tax or VAT Tax Registration Number certificate from which the TIN can be derived using the first 10 digits of the TRN, or they may provide the TIN directly as available in their taxpayer profile on the EmaraTax portal.
Please ensure that the information provided is accurate and up to date. Without a valid TIN, we will be unable to issue compliant invoices or meet the required regulatory reporting obligations for your transactions.
This update is an important regulatory requirement and is being implemented with immediate effect, and therefore you are requested to complete your update at the earliest to avoid any disruption in invoice issuance or transaction reporting.

The UAE Ministry of Finance and Federal Tax Authority (FTA) are rolling out a mandatory e-invoicing system for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) transactions. Invoices will be exchanged as structured electronic data via the Peppol network rather than as PDFs or paper documents and transmitted through Accredited Service Providers (ASPs).
DIB requires business customers’ TIN (Tax Identification Number). Every participant in this e-invoicing system is identified by a TIN, so we need yours to update our record in order to issue and deliver tax compliant e-invoices to you via e-invoicing system going forward.
Your TIN is derived from your standalone Tax Registration Number (TRN). If you already have a TRN (for VAT or Corporate Tax), your TIN is the first 10 digits of this standalone TRN. It acts as your unique identifier on the e-invoicing network.
No. When multiple related legal entities form a VAT or Corporate Tax Group, this group is issued a separate TRN by FTA. TIN cannot be derived from this Group TRN. TIN is the first 10 digits of each legal entity’s standalone VAT or Corporate Tax TRN.
Yes. Even businesses that are not registered for VAT or Corporate Tax are within scope of the e-invoicing mandate and will need to obtain a TIN directly from the FTA. So, if your business does not have VAT or Corporate Tax TRN, then we recommend that you register for a TIN with the FTA as early as possible and share your TIN with DIB.
As your banking partner, we are required to have TIN for all our business customers as mandated by the UAE Ministry of Finance. This information will be used solely for tax invoicing and regulatory compliance purposes, stored securely, and handled in line with applicable UAE data protection requirements.
