APPLYING FOR A SMALL BUSINESS TAXPAYER
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN 4 I)
Individuals need a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) if they are earning income, running a business,
employing people, or need to open a business bank account. If your only income is from salary and wages,
then you do not need a TIN. This document is designed to guide you through the process of determining
your obligation to register with the Internal Revenue Commission and completing the registration form.
The instructions below follow the format of the registration form, and provide help about how to complete
each section of the form.
If you already have a TIN but need to change your registration details such as name, address, or director.
