    Businesses in Zambia that are required to collect tax will be issued an identification number. Tax identification numbers can be verified with the Zambia Revenue Authority, and will follow a certain format. The VAT number format is Tax payer identification number (TPIN).

  • According to https://www.pwc.co.za/en/assets/pdf/vat-in-africa-2017.pdf it is called Taxpayer Identification Number (TPIN).
  • http://www.businesslicenses.gov.zm/business-procedures/details/tpin-registration

    TPIN is a unique ten-digit computer-generated number allocated to a taxpayer upon registration with the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA). It is a prerequisite for any transaction with ZRA concerning taxes be it Domestic Taxes or Customs Services. All bank account holders are also required to obtain a TPIN.

    The process of TPIN registration has now been made easier because of the online registration platform available; hence one can register from the comfort of their premises. Taxpayers who have challenges with online registration can still register manually by completing a ZRA prescribed registration form. The manual form can be obtained from any of the front offices at ZRA offices or it can be downloaded from the ZRA website.
