Glossary entry (derived from question below)
español term or phrase:
NIT (vs. RIF)
inglés translation:
TIN / TIR or NIT / RIF
español term
NIT (vs. RIF)
¿Cómo puedo diferenciar estos dos conceptos? Debo colocarlos en una tabla donde hay poco espacio por lo que sería ideal conseguir unas siglas.
Muchas gracias por adelantado

Proposed translations
TIN / TIR or NIT / RIF
I think there are two things you could do in order to use initialisms, so that they fit in the boxes. Both would involve adding an explanatory note. One is simply to keep the Venezuelan ones, with a note explaining what they stand for and adding a literal translation of each (which could be "tax identification number" and "tax information registration", for example), or use two different English initialisms, which could be TIN and TIR respectively, again with the note explaining this.
Of course, if there is room for the full translations in the table you could use them, but they are a bit long.
It would be the first time the RIF has been called this:
"Updated copy of the Tax Information Registration (“RIF”) of the company receiving the investment"
"Doing Business in Venezuela" (p. 47; p. 53 of file).

Sorry, I meant "It WOULDN'T be the first time the RIF has been called this".
"(v)copy of the tax information registration (Registro de Información Fiscal (RIF));"

BN or (BIN) / ITN
and here http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/bn-ne/wrks-eng.html
please have a social insurance number (SIN) or an individual tax number (ITN) before you complete any of the following forms:...
The BN is a 9-digit business identifier used in Canada ... The Business Identification Number (BIN) is a 9-digit number used by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services ...
Thank you very much. I would also like to thank Charles for the comment. I had not thought about it, but will take it into account in the future |

: Good research, but if you use the Canadian abbreviations it implies that these numbers/codes are Canadian, which they aren't: these people/companies are not tax-registered in Canada.

you are right to some point, but the same you can say about the use of "VAT number" in translating "Identificación tributaria a efectos del IVA" (NIF-IVA), and the code format is quite different (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAT_identification_number)
