What is REGON and how is it different from NIP?

Auranik Consulting & Management · Accepted Answer

## Short answer
REGON is Poland's statistical identification number, assigned by the national statistical office system (GUS). It identifies your business for statistical purposes and is used alongside NIP (your tax number) in most official filings. For a capital company, both are issued automatically upon KRS registration.
