The local identification (defined by the Seller’s address) of the Seller for tax purposes or a reference that enables the Seller to state the Seller's registered tax status.

This information may affect how the Buyer settles the payment (such as for social security fees). For example, in some countries, if the Seller is not registered as a tax paying entity, then the Buyer is required to withhold the amount of the tax and pay it on behalf of the Seller.
