Not validating Tax ID Numbers (TINs) leads to unnecessary financial risk. However, while tax professionals know that TIN validation is fundamental to tax compliance, it can be extremely cumbersome to perform.

Join Fonoa as they elaborate on why TIN validation is crucial and debate the age-old question of Build vs. Buy. They’ll be joined by Karina Ozer, Tax Manager, Data and Tech Strategy from Booking.com to moderate the debate – and offer insights into her own tax ID validation journey.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Overcome challenges around TIN validation

  • Manage TIN validation globally (beyond VAT & VIES)

  • Weigh the pros/cons of Building and Buying

Fonoa’s team has built TIN validation solutions at leading technology companies, and they will share the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

If your company is validating tax numbers – which you probably are – this is a must-attend. We hope to see you there!
