What Is the Tax Identification Number

I keep seeing the term Tax Identification Number (TIN) when dealing with international forms and payments, but I’m confused about what it means in the UK context. Does the UK actually issue a TIN, or is it just another name for the UTR or NI number? If someone is self-employed or receives foreign income, which number should they provide as their TIN? Would appreciate guidance on how TINs work in the UK and when each number is used.
