Managed identifiers

Identifier	Technical key	Description
Business Administration Number (Taiwan)	TW_BRN	The Business Administration Number (BAN), also known as the Uniform Business Number (UBN), is an 8-digit number used to uniquely identify registered businesses in Taiwan for tax and administrative purposes. It serves as the equivalent of a VAT number in Taiwan, as the country does not issue a separate VAT identifier. The BAN is required for business registration, tax filings, and issuing Government Uniform Invoices (GUIs), which are part of Taiwan's VAT system. The format of the BAN is: 8 digits, where the first seven digits are the main identifier, and the eighth digit is a check digit for validation. Businesses use the BAN for VAT-related activities, including taxable sales reporting and issuing VAT-compliant invoices, making it the core identifier in Taiwan's VAT framework. While Taiwan's system doesn't explicitly call it a VAT number, the BAN fulfills this function in practice.
Legal Entity Identifier	LEI_ID	A Legal Entity Identifier (or LEI) is a 20-character identifier that identifies distinct legal entities that engage in financial transactions. It is defined by ISO 17442. Natural persons are not required to have an LEI;Business_partner/identifier/issuing_body/ they’re eligible to have one issued, however, but only if they act in an independent business capacity. The LEI is a global standard, designed to be non-proprietary data that is freely accessible to all. As of October 2017, over 630,000 legal entities from more than 195 countries have now been issued with LEIs.
