Every company needs tax identification numbers to operate legally — for banking, invoicing, filing and compliance. CompanyVista handles all business tax ID registrations across 50+ countries, including EIN for non-resident US LLC owners, ITIN via our IRS-certified Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) and VAT/GST registration worldwide.
All government tax IDs are issued free of charge by the relevant authority — there is no government fee for any of the IDs listed below. CompanyVista's professional fee covers the preparation, submission and follow-up — confirmed in a written quote before any payment.
Several tax and business identification numbers are issued automatically at company registration. These are free, require no separate application and are handled as part of your CompanyVista formation package. For companies formed elsewhere, CompanyVista can assist with obtaining any missing IDs.
Not every company needs every tax ID — it depends on jurisdiction, business activity, turnover, whether you have employees and your personal tax residency. CompanyVista advises specifically on which IDs are mandatory immediately, which can wait and which are triggered by crossing a turnover threshold. Free, no commitment. For ITIN, we also assess whether your circumstances genuinely create a US tax filing obligation before advising you to apply.
⏱ Free consultation — included with company formation or standaloneAll government tax IDs are issued free of charge by the relevant authority — there is no government fee for EIN, ITIN, VAT, GST or any other ID listed. CompanyVista's professional fee covers preparation, submission, IRS/authority liaison and follow-up — confirmed in a written quote before any payment. Tax ID registrations can be standalone or bundled with company formation.
⏱ Written quote within 4 hoursCompanyVista collects all required documents and prepares the application to the authority's exact requirements. For EIN (Form SS-4): company details, responsible party information, business purpose. For ITIN (Form W-7 via CAA): identity verification conducted by our CAA — original passport remains with you. For VAT/GST: company registration documents, director details, business activity description, estimated turnover.
⏱ 1–3 business days — minimal input required from youEIN: SS-4 submitted to the IRS via fax (4–6 weeks) or via the IRS Business & Specialty Tax Line — a process that involves long IRS hold times and typically results in EIN assignment within 5–10 business days of the call, with the CP575 confirmation letter arriving by post 3–4 weeks later. For C-Corporations where CompanyVista acts as responsible party, expedited EIN issuance within 1–3 business days is available. ITIN: W-7 with CAA certification submitted to the IRS Austin Service Centre. VAT: submitted to HMRC (UK), FTA (UAE) or the relevant EU authority online. GST: submitted to IRAS (Singapore), ATO (Australia), CRA (Canada) or relevant authority. CompanyVista tracks every submission to receipt confirmation.
⏱ Submitted same day documents are received and verified — processing times vary by authority and methodProcessing times vary by authority and ID type. CompanyVista monitors status proactively and contacts the authority to follow up where processing exceeds standard timelines. For EIN by fax: 4–6 weeks total. For EIN by phone: assignment typically within 5–10 business days of the call; CP575 letter by post 3–4 weeks after assignment. For C-Corp expedited: 1–3 business days where CompanyVista is responsible party. For ITIN: 7–11 weeks — we check status and notify you immediately on issuance. For VAT/GST: typically 2–5 weeks — we notify on registration number issuance and provide a copy of the registration certificate.

⏱ Delivered within 24 hours of authority issuanceCompanyVista's founder is an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent — one of fewer than 5,000 globally. ITIN applicants using the CAA pathway do not surrender their original passport to the IRS. Documents are verified and certified by our CAA. This is the single most important advantage for international clients applying for an ITIN.
Non-residents cannot use the IRS online EIN portal — it requires a US Social Security Number. CompanyVista handles the SS-4 preparation and IRS submission entirely. The IRS phone line involves very long hold times and EIN assignment takes 5–10 business days after the call, with CP575 arriving by post 3–4 weeks later. For C-Corporations, an expedited 1–3 business day route is available where CompanyVista acts as responsible party. You never need to contact the IRS yourself — we manage it entirely.
EIN, ITIN, UK VAT, UAE VAT, EU VAT, Singapore GST, Australian GST, Canadian GST/HST, New Zealand GST, India GSTN — all handled by the same CompanyVista team that registered your company. No handoffs to a local agent in each country. Same client portal, same account manager, same process.
CompanyVista advises on which IDs are actually necessary before executing any registration. Unnecessary VAT registration creates a quarterly filing obligation. Premature ITIN application is rejected. We assess your specific situation and recommend only what your company genuinely needs — at the right time.
Every government authority issues tax IDs at zero cost — EIN, ITIN, VAT, GST, UTR, UEN, ABN, BN — all free from the government. CompanyVista's professional fee covers preparation, submission, authority liaison and follow-up. No hidden government fees added to your invoice — because there are none.
Every tax registration triggers ongoing filing obligations — UK VAT returns quarterly, Singapore GST returns quarterly, US tax return annually. CompanyVista adds every filing deadline to your compliance calendar on the day of registration and sends proactive reminders before each due date. Registration is just the start — we track what comes next.
Free consultation — CompanyVista advises which tax IDs your company needs, when and why. Written quote before any payment. All government tax IDs are free — you pay only our professional fee for preparation, submission and authority liaison.
CompanyVista provides professional tax ID registration services for companies in 50+ countries — EIN (Employer Identification Number) for US LLCs and corporations, ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) via the IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) pathway, VAT registration in the UK (HMRC), UAE (Federal Tax Authority) and all 27 EU member states, and GST registration in Singapore (IRAS), Australia (ATO), Canada (CRA), New Zealand (IRD) and India (GSTN). All government tax IDs are issued free of charge by the relevant authority — there is no government fee for any registration. CompanyVista's professional fee covers preparation, submission, authority liaison and follow-up.
Two key advantages distinguish CompanyVista in this service: First, non-resident EIN applicants cannot use the IRS online portal (restricted to SSN holders) — CompanyVista handles the full IRS Form SS-4 preparation and submission via fax or direct IRS phone call, including speaking with IRS personnel on your behalf. Second, CompanyVista's founder holds IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) status — one of fewer than 5,000 globally — which allows ITIN applicants to retain their original passport throughout the 7–11 week processing period, with certified copies submitted to the IRS instead of originals. For international clients who travel frequently, this is a critical advantage over the standard pathway.
Tax ID registration is available as a standalone service or bundled with company formation. VAT and GST registration triggers ongoing quarterly filing obligations — CompanyVista's compliance and accounting service manages all return filing after registration. All tax ID registrations include a compliance calendar update with every filing deadline from the day of registration. CompanyVista advises on which registrations are actually necessary before executing any application — unnecessary VAT registration creates a quarterly filing burden without benefit, and premature ITIN applications are rejected by the IRS.
