The Steuernummer (St.-Nr.) is a tax number assigned by regional tax offices to taxable individuals and organisations. The number is being replaced by the Steuerliche Identifikationsnummer (IdNr).

The number has 10 or 11 digits for the regional form (per Bundesland) and 13 digits for the number that is unique within Germany. The number consists of (part of) the Bundesfinanzamtsnummer (BUFA-Nr.), a district number, a serial number and a check digit.
