→ The group's Tax Registration Number (TRN) goes on the invoice
→ But the endpoint details must correspond to the specific group member conducting the transaction

Group TRN for tax. Individual endpoint for routing.

The seller's TIN in PINT-AE must be exactly 10 numeric digits in format 1XXXXXXXXX.

Not your TRN. Not your trade license number. The first 10 digits of your TRN.

If your system stores TRNs as 15-digit strings, you need a mapping layer.

B2C transactions are excluded from eInvoicing — until a future ministerial decision says otherwise.

But if you do BOTH B2B and B2C? Your B2B transactions are still in scope.
