Numer identyfikacji podatkowej, the 10-digit tax identification number in Poland. Businesses, including sole traders, use it in tax matters; since September 2011 individuals without a business use their PESEL number instead. With the PL prefix it is the EU VAT number. Older documents group the digits with hyphens, 3-3-2-2 for individuals and 3-2-2-3 for companies. The last digit is a weighted modulo 11 check digit.
