The NIP is needed e.g. to issue an invoice and to verify a business in registers.
What it means in practice
NIP (tax identification number) is a 10-digit number identifying a business (or person) at the tax office. It appears on invoices, contracts and in company registers.
Why it matters for your business
The NIP is needed to issue an invoice, verify a business in registers (CEIDG, KRS, VAT white list) and conclude a contract. It also lets you quickly check whether a business exists and is active.
Examples and good practice
- Ask for the NIP with the order to issue an invoice.
- Verify the business in CEIDG or on the VAT white list.
- Check the number before sending an invoice.
- Show the NIP in the website footer.
How to use it in a sales conversation
The NIP is needed for the agreement and invoice in a Novi order. On the client’s website we show the NIP in the footer and privacy policy, which strengthens credibility.
