Netherland TIN (tax identification number) https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/tax-identification-numbers/Netherlands-TIN.pdf

However, I am confused if its the same as Netherland BSN. They seem to be different validation methods though.

@teebu When I look at the NL BSN and the PDF they appear to be the same. Both have the same 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2 sum factor validation. I did also find that BSN on the government of NL website indicates that it's used for tax purposes along with this document.

The BSN uses something called Elfproef is Dutch for 11-proof, while the TIN uses the checksum with weights.

The elfproef uses mod 11 and checks if its 0. While the checksum method uses the checkdigit for validation.

Something I found here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/elfproef, https://github.com/MrLuit/elfproef/blob/master/src/index.ts

They both seem to produce same results but are different methods to get there. I don't understand how that works.

Microsoft has them both 9 digits, except BSN is with space format, and TIN no spaces https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sit-defn-netherlands-tax-identification-number?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sit-defn-netherlands-citizens-service-number?view=o365-worldwide

Fliping this around. What are you looking for, the "problem" with OECD is that it only lists the identification number (BSN) for individuals. I think you're fishing for the entity (corporation) tax identifier. This article might help.

It might be that you're looking for the RSIN Rechtspersonen en Samenwerkingsverbanden Identificatie Nummer.
