What is a Georgian TIN?

In the country of Georgia, the taxpayer identification number (TIN, or VAT payer number) is issued by the Revenue Service (Sagadasakhado, accessible via RS.GE). Companies and other legal entities receive a 9-digit identification code, while individual entrepreneurs are identified by their 11-digit personal number.

Why are there two lengths?

Legal entities registered with the Public Registry receive a 9-digit identification code that doubles as the tax number. Individuals — including sole traders and individual entrepreneurs — use their 11-digit personal identity number as the TIN. Both are accepted by the Revenue Service depending on the taxpayer type.

Does this tool check a control digit?

The Georgian Revenue Service does not publish a check-digit algorithm for the entity TIN, so this tool validates the documented structure — exactly 9 digits for a company or 11 digits for an individual. A passing format check rules out the most common length and character errors.

Is the TIN the same as the VAT number?

Yes. Georgia does not issue a separate VAT identifier; a VAT-registered taxpayer uses the same TIN (the 9-digit company code or 11-digit personal number) on VAT invoices and the RS.GE e-invoicing system.

Is my TIN sent to a server?

No. Validation runs entirely in JavaScript inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored, and the tool works offline once loaded.

Georgian TIN at a glance

In the country of Georgia, the taxpayer identification number (TIN) — also called the VAT payer number — is administered by the Revenue Service through RS.GE. The format depends on the taxpayer type: legal entities receive a 9-digit identification code, while individuals and individual entrepreneurs use their 11-digit personal number. The same TIN serves as the VAT identifier for e-invoicing and procurement.

How it works

There is no published check-digit algorithm for the entity TIN, so validation is a structural format check based on the documented rules:

9 digits   → company / legal-entity TIN
11 digits  → individual / personal-number TIN
anything else → invalid

The tool strips spaces and hyphens, confirms every character is a digit, and classifies the number by its length. This catches the most common keying errors — wrong length, stray letters, or an accidentally truncated number.

Tips and notes

When you receive a Georgian tax number, the digit count tells you immediately whether you are dealing with a company (9) or an individual taxpayer (11). A valid format does not prove the taxpayer is registered or VAT-active — confirm that through the Revenue Service’s public lookup on RS.GE. Always normalise the value (strip separators) before storing or comparing, since the same TIN may appear with different spacing across documents.
