Hi Sir,
Do i need TRN number if i am opening a new company in UAE and want to import and export items ?
few say as its new company trn number is not required because in trn registration it will ask company income
if i want to import and export items from uae then do i need trn number to link ? if no trn number for the newly opened company what is the solution ?
from dubai customs they will ask trn number to link with them to do import
if trn is to be registered how is that done for a newly opened company ?
please help.
