Apply for new tax tin registration

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a new Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) registration in the Philippines:

Step 1: Determine if you need a TIN

• If you are a self-employed individual, a business owner, or a non-resident alien with income in the Philippines, you need to register for a TIN.
• If you are an employee, your employer will register you for a TIN.

Step 2: Gather required documents

• For individuals:
  • Valid ID (e.g., passport, driver's license, birth certificate)
  • Proof of income (e.g., employment contract, business registration, proof of income from other sources)
• For businesses:
  • Business registration (e.g., SEC registration, DTI registration)
  • Articles of Incorporation or Partnership
  • Proof of income (e.g., financial statements, invoices)

Step 3: Fill out the TIN registration form

• You can download the TIN registration form (BIR Form 1901) from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) website or obtain it from any BIR office.
• Fill out the form accurately and completely, and attach the required documents.

Step 4: Submit the application

• You can submit the application to any BIR office or authorized agent bank.
• Make sure to bring the required documents and a photocopy of the TIN registration form.

Step 5: Pay the registration fee

• The registration fee is PHP 500 (approximately USD 10).
• You can pay the fee at any authorized agent bank or through online payment channels.

Step 6: Wait for the TIN to be issued

• The BIR will review your application and issue a TIN within 10 working days.
• You will receive a notification from the BIR once your TIN has been issued.

Step 7: Register for other taxes (if applicable)

• If you are a business owner, you may need to register for other taxes, such as Value-Added Tax (VAT) or Excise Tax.
• You can do this by filing the necessary forms and paying the required fees.

Additional tips

• Make sure to keep a copy of your TIN registration form and proof of payment for your records.
• If you are a foreign national, you may need to obtain a Certificate of Authority to Do Business in the Philippines (SAD ID) from the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before registering for a TIN.
• If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the BIR or consult with a tax professional.

Remember to always follow the correct procedures and requirements to avoid any issues or delays in your TIN registration.
