Thank you bringing this info to our attention. It will help improve the BIR’s services. Your concerns were relayed to the officers of BIR and the National Office will confirm and coordinate with RDO 98 on this matter.

how can i get my tin number?

sir/mam

how can i know my tin number?

If you already have TIN number with BIR you can verify if with the BIR Contact Center 981-8888 or you may also call the TIN Verification office 981-7000 local 7030. They will ask for your complete name and birthdate.

If you already have TIN number with BIR you can verify if with the BIR Contact Center 981-8888 or you may also call the TIN Verification office 981-7000 local 7030. They will ask for your complete name and birthdate. Thanks for visiting good day.

Is there any way I could verify my tin number throughout the internet?

No, that service is not yet available in the BIR website, but you can call 981-8888 the BIR contact center or the TIN Verification office of the BIR 981-7000 local 7030. They will need your complete name and birthdate to check if you have a TIN and the BIR RDO office where it is currently registered. Please take note that your TIN registration can only be updated only on the BIR RDO office where your TIN is registered. If you require a TIN ID it is with this BIR RDO office where you should file an application for that TIN ID.

Our company has been deducting taxes for my salary for over 2 years already and they cannot provide me my TIN number. My W2 or ITR has no number as well. and when I ask them to provide they will say they dont know.

Again there is no policy that requires a company to apply for TIN for their employees. It depends if the company has informed you that they will do it for you. If not, it should be your concern to file for a TIN.

Your company is required by BIR to withheld and remit to BIR these taxes whether their employees have a TIN or not.

And they are also required to provide you with BIR form 2316 Certificate of Compensation Payment / Tax Withheld after each taxable year. For this will serve as the ITR of that employee if he/she has a single employer for the entire taxable year. W2 is the old form, the new form is BIR form 2316. Please note that the one certifying here is not the BIR but your office under penalties of perjury.

Sir ask ko lang kasi as of now unemployed ako, meron ako TIN ID pero nawala. gusto ko sana kumuha ng bagong TIN ID kasi im planning to open a personal bank account. tumawag ako sa BIR Quezon City pero as per agent na nakausap ko. Hindi daw pwede kumuha ng NewTIN ID dahil unemplyed daw ako. Ano kaya maganda gawin?

Kung meron na po kayong TIN sa BIR. Kelangan lang po ninyo malaman kung saan ito kasalukuyang naka rehistro. Tumawag po kayo sa BIR contact center 981-8888 or 981-7000 local 7030 or sa local 7251. Alamin mo kung saang Revenue District Office (RDO) ng BIR naka rehistro itong TIN mo. At dun kayo pumunta. Gamitin mo ang form 1905. Basahin mo ng mabuti ang article sa itaas para sa karagdagang info para gawin ito. Hindi po totoo na kung wala ka ng trabaho e hindi kana puwedeng mag request ng TIN card. Pagkat meron ka ng rehistradong TIN sa BIR puwede po kayong magrequest uli ng TIN card.

hi.yung husband ko po kc nasa abroad gusto po nyang kumuha ng tin card,pwede po bang ako yung mag-apply para s TIN card nya?

Opo, pupuwede naman po yun. Bilang “Authorized Agent” ng inyong asawa maari po kayong mag-apply upang makakuha ng TIN para sa kanya. Padalhan kanya kamo ng isang Authorization Letter designating you to request for a TIN para sa kanya.

Kung 1902 po ang gagamitin ninyong form kelangan po ninyong ipa-fill din ang Part V ng form na yun. Ang nakasaad dun “Employer Information” ngayon hindi po ang employer niya sa abroad ang mag fill-up nun kungdi yun kanyang AGENCY. Ngayon kung wala ito.

Puwede rin ninyo siyang ikuha sa pamamagitan ng BIR Form 1904. Click ninyo ang mga link sa article na ito yun forms na 1902 at 1904 para makita ninyo ang actual na form na ito at maarin na rin ninyong ipa-print para ma fill-up na ninyo ito. Naroon na rin po nakasaad ang mga documentary requirements.

Kung saan ninyo ito isa-submit magdedepende ito sa form na inyong gagamitin. Kung 1902 kelangan ninyo itong i-submi8t sa BIR District office na kung saan na rehistro ang TIN ng AGENCY ng asawa ninyo.

At kung 1904 naman ang gagamitin dun naman sa BIR District na nakakasakop po ng inyong BARANGAY. Kung saan naman ang address ng BIR District na ito tumawag nalang po kayo sa 981-8888. Pagkatapos ma submit tanungin kung kelan makukuha ang TIN. Once na naibigay na sa inyo ang number puwede kayong mag-apply na ng TIN card.

ask ko lang po, gusto ko po kasi mag apply ng personal bank loan, mandatory po b na kelangan may tin number ako? isa po kasi sa requirement is bir form 2316, meron napo ako bir 2316 pero wala ako tin number?

Good day! I would like to ask do I still need to apply for a new TIN for my employment if I already have acquired TIN previously which was used in my application of driver’s license?

Thanks in advance!

Good Day, pano po ba mag-apply ng 1st time TIN ang isang tao na kasalukuyang walang regular na trabaho or employer? Saan pang branch ng BIR pwede pumunta at anong form po ang kailangan fill-up? Ano pong mga dokumento ang kailangan presenta?

Hi Meliza, you can ask thru the BIR TIN verification office or the BIR contact center. the telephone numbers are indicated in this article.

Another thing Meliza, banks have their own policy which the BIR does not dictate. including the requirements they need for the transactions or services their company provides. anyway, check the BIR for your TIN number. You probably have one.

Hi blksantos, No you don’t need to apply for another TIN. The TIN issued to you before can be used for employment. You got your TIN using BIR Form 1904 you can have your TIN Registration updated using BIR Form 2305 indicate for EMPLOYMENT. Kung saan ninyo dapat i-file itong form na ito depende po muna kung ang inyong TIN ay nakarehistro din sa parehong RDO kung saan kayo mamasukan bilang empleyado. KUng halimbawa po nakuha ninyo ang inyong TIN using 1904 sa RDO 40 na may hawak ng Cubao area at dun din kayo nakakuha ng trabaho. Kung ganito po ang sitwasyon ang pag update ng TIN registration ninyo ay sa pamamagitan po ng BIR form 2305. Kung hindi naman kayo nakakuha ng employment sa ibang lugar na hawak ng ibang BIR RDO halimbawa po sa PASIG. Kelangan ninyo po munang ipa-transfer yung TIN ninyo sa RDO PASIG using BIR 1905. Dun ninyo i-file ang request na ito RDO kung saan kasalukuyang nakarehistro ang inyong TIN halimbawa nga po sa RDO 40-Cubao dun ninyo i-file ang request ng transfer at pagnatransfer na sa RDO PASIG. Dun naman kayo pumunta sa RDO PASIG upang ipa UPDATE ang registration ninyo using BIR Form 2305.

Hi S. Po, mag apply kayo sa BIR RDO kung saan may sakop po ng inyong barangay. Kung inyong barangay ay nasa Cubao area. Ang RDO 40 sa may Quezon Ave. po kayo mag apply ng TIN using form 1904 kelangan po dun barangay clearance at birth cert.

click ninyo po ang “BIR locational map” sa map directions papunta halimbawas sa RDO na ito. At iba pang mga RDO ng BIR. O tumawag sa BIR contact center para sa karagdagang info.

Good Day po sir Cholo,

Itatanong ko lang po sana kung gaano kaya katagal ang pagkuha ng tin? Kasi by next month kelangan ko na po magrenew ng Drivers License and from what I heard kelangan na daw may TIN No. for renewal… Sa kasalukuyan po kasi walang TIN No. ang Drivers License ko and since unemployed pa po ako wala din ako tin no. talaga.

Ask ko lang po, since I know na dapat Form 1904 po ang kelangan ko i-fill up, mga gaano katagal po kaya before ako makakuha ng TIN No. ko, if let’s say nagapply ako today how long usually does it take para malaman ko ang TIN No. ko…

and TIN No. na lang po ba ang kailangan for Drivers License or kailangan pa po ng TIN ID? or are those one in the same?

Also another thing… Do I have to pay anything for that? Hirap po kasi mamaya kung anu anu ang singilin sa akin once I apply…

Hello James, depende po sa workload po ng Revenue District Office (RDO) na nakakasakop ng inyong barangay. Usually the same day naman kung hindi naman po ganun karami ang pina-process po ng nasabing office. Kung may TIN number na po kayo. Puwede po kayo mag request ng TIN card sa office na rin na yun using 1905. Alamin ninyo lang ng mabuti sa BIR Contact center ang RDO na nakakasakop sa inyong Barangay. Ang attachment po ay photocopy ng birth cert. at barangay clearance.

No, you don't need to pay for that those request. From your request for TIN using 1904 to your request for a TIN card. Please know BIR does not charge for this service.

Ah ok po, pero kung hindi po barangay clearance but instead a government ID would that also be possible? Like PRC and LTO ID?

Thanks for the info!

Hi Sir,

Me TIN number na po ako from my previous work, pero wala pang ID. Ngayon me bago na po akong trabaho, at kailan ko daw kumuha ng ID. Nagpunta po ako sa BIR para magapply ng ID, ang sabi nila kelangan ko daw muna ng request galing sa dati kong employer ko bago nila ako issue-han. Yun daw ang requirements nila. Umuwi nalang ako kasi di nama nila aasikasuhin.

Hi James D., if those IDs indicate your barangay address then they may consider those. The barangay clearance indicates clearly that your barangay is within a BIR District Ofc. jurisdiction. Anyway, I think it would be the BIR District ofc discretion whether to accept these IDs or not. The standard document being required is the barangay clearance. There is no official policy that i know of w/c states a substitute of the said document. Anyway, i suggest you go for the required doc. the brgy. clearance.

Hello Anne, you don’t need a request from your employer because that TIN is not in anyway under them or under their jurisdiction. The TIN is UNDER YOUR NAME not with the company. The companies we work with may come and go but our TIN remains under our name. There may be some misunderstanding. You can request for a TIN Card using BIR Form 1905. check this form out. Click on the BIR FORMS link in the right side of this blog under INFORMATIVE LINKs. In Part II of this form check the box for letter “K” and write TIN CARD. To indicate you wish to request for this. Walang bayad po ito. Submit this with the BIR Revenue District Ofc. (RDO) where your TIN is currently registered. Call TIN Verification Office of BIR 926-8339 or the BIR Contact Center 981-8888. Check which RDO your TIN is currently under and ask for the address of that ofc. Submit your request for TIN card thru BIR form 1905 thats it.

Thanks po! I hope this will go out well na this time… I was just sad na di nila ako inasikaso though inexplain ko naman yung reasons ko and even asked for options pero wla silang binigay… Thank you po tlaga

Very informative site…
Maraming Salamat…

hi sir

uxto ku lan malaman kung pno mag reg online d kc aku makapunta ng bir uxto ku kc mag open acc sa banko pro kailangan ku ng TIN number nag reg aku sa site ng bir anu po ba ang branch code kc d ku alm pno po b un sir?

Ur welcome Anne, i am puzzled as well. Anyway, just inform me if there are still problems regarding this. Thanks Mike, appreciate the comment.

Hi Hernan, you might want to call the BIR Contact Center to assist you in this matter. Their number is 981-8888.

Hi sir, nagpunta po ako dun ulit sabi nila ilipat ko daw po ng ibang RDO, dun po sa RDO ng new company ko. Pag nalipat ko na at naverify na sa new RDO, sa new company na ako hihingi ng request to issue an ID, un daw ang policy nila. Nagtanong naman din po ako sa ibang RDOs at ang sabi dun basta me number kana, ok na, pero dito sa current RDO ko kelngan pa ng request.

Yun nga po palang form 1905 ko regarding ID request hindi nila tinanggap. Sila pa ang nakukulitan sakin.

Hi Anne, lets clear things up a little bit. Is your TIN really under that district where you submitted the said form? dahil sabi mo na:

“sabi nila ilipat ko daw po ng ibang RDO, dun po sa RDO ng new company ko”

Pinalilipat nila kamo, na ang tinutukoy malamang po e yun TIN REGISTRATION ninyo. Pinalilipat nila ito sa RDO ng NEW COMPANY mo. di po ba?

Na malamang kaya sinabi nila ito dahil hindi nila magagawang MAG ISSUE o magPROCESS ng kahit na anong request mo dahil nasa IBANG RDO nga malamang ang TIN REGISTRATION mo.

Ang PAGLILIPAT ng TIN REGISTRATION ay ginagawa lang ng RDO na MAY HAWAK po ng TIN REGISTRATION natin. At gagawin lang ito ng RDO kung tayo po ang mismo nagREQUEST nito sa pamamagitan din ng BIR form 1905. Sa 4E CHANGE IN REGISTERED ADDRESS. Check box “1″ TRANSFER OF HOME RDO. The OLD RDO is where you TIN IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED. Your New RDO is the RDO where you will be transferring your TIN. Usually the RDO who has jurisdiction over the business address of your new employer.

Ngayon ukol sa policy na new company kana hihingi kamo ng request to issue an ID. Ay hindi official na policy ng BIR.

Pakibigay po ang RDO office at section ng office na yun na kinausap ninyo. Gusto ko rin kausapin sila ukol dito. Kung nakuha mo ang pangalan ng nagsabi sa iyo nito mas mabuti.

Ngayon alamin muna natin kung saan ba talaga nakarehistro itong TIN mo at ikumpara natin sa RDO na pinuntahan mo at kung saan nag submit ka ng request na ito.

Paki tawagan po ang BIR TIN Verification Office at 926-8339 this is their updated number or the BIR Contact center at 981-8888. Bigay ninyo ang TIN or pangalan at birthdate. Alamin mo kung ano ang RDO mo na may hawak ng TIN registration mo. At Ikumpara mo sa RDO na pinuntahan mo.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yes, dun po sa RDO ko mismo ako pumunta para magrequest, dun ako nakaregister. Ngayon pong me bago na akong employer, ang sabi nila ililipat daw yun ng RDO kasi bago na ang employer ko. Hindi pa ho ako nagpapasa ng form 1905 sa kanila regarding request to transfer,kaya hanggag ngayon dun parin ako sa kanila nakaregister.

Ang RDO ko po ay 43a. Doon po sa Ugong Pasig.

a

ung tin no# ko po doon pa sa davao? mtagal na po kc aq ng wwork hangan ngayon ala pa aq tin no# kng pide po mag pa biripika…tnx

Hi Sir, what are the needed documents para makakuha ng TIN ID? Meron na po akong TIN number, akala ko wala nang kailangan, nagpunta po ako sa Ugong Pasig BIR, sabi kailangan pa ng letter from the company? Bagong requirement na ba yun?

Awww… pareho pala kami ng case ni Anne… sorry nakapag-post na ako bago ko nabasa. Ang alam ko rin po sa iba di na nag-re-require ng letter bakit sa Ugong humihingi? Sana ma-clarify ito, positive po ako na nasa RDO na ito ang record ko as per my company. Thank you.

Hello Anne, Let me get your TIN number and I will talk with the Registration Section pertaining your concern once you give me these details. Give your full name and birthdate. I want to check if you have another TIN under your name.

Sinabihan ka kasi kamo nitong mga taga RDO 43A na ipalipat mo raw sa ibang RDO dun sa RDO ng new company mo. Ito ang nasabi mo nun diba?

“sabi nila ilipat ko daw po ng ibang RDO, dun po sa RDO ng new company ko”

Kaya nga gusto kong macheck ang registration mo bakit nila nasabi ito sa iyo. Hindi rin kasi nila sasabihin ito kung nakaregister ang TIN mo sa kanila. Send me these info and I’ll call that RDO on the requirement that they are imposing. Again thank you for informing us of your concerns. I hope to clear these up once you give me these info. Good day.

Hello Ai, again thank you for informing us about this. I will be calling the Taxpayer Service Section of this district to inquire about this within the day. Will inform you soon when i get their side of the story. Good day.

Hi Andrew, puwede po ninyo ipa verify sa BIR TIN Verification Office at 926-8339 this is their updated number or the BIR Contact center at 981-8888 or email contact_us@cctr.bir.gov.ph kung di ninyo kayang tawagan ang mga numerong ito.

Hi po where can I send my TIN number and name? Dito din po ba? opo, ililipat ng RDO kc new company na po yung pinapasukan ko.

Hi Anne, i've talked with the chief of the Taxpayer Service Section (TSS) of RDO43A.

You can fill out the 1905 form and ipasa mo na sa RDO43A para ma transfer na TIN mo.

Anyway, the chief of the TSS has relayed to me that he will inform the registration people to follow the RR 5-2010. You can view this Revenue Regulation by following the link below:

ftp://ftp.bir.gov.ph/webadmin1/pdf/51752RR%205-2010%20ON%20TRANSFER%20OF%20REGISTRATION.pdf

You can send me your TIN & full name with birthdate so I can send it to the TIN Verification ofc. or you can call them directly to verify it yourself. Their contact number is in this article.

Anyways, madali lang ang pagtransfer read this article to guide you thru, just follow the link:

http://birtaxinfo.i.ph/blogs/birtaxinfo/2010/03/02/transferring-bir-tin-registration/

Just inform me kung nagawa mo na o kung ano pa ang kelangan ninyong malaman. Good day.

Hi Sir,

Na send ko na po yung infos ko sa email nyo.

Thanks,
Anne

Ok i checked and its still with RDO 43. It doesn't say whether your with RDO 43A or B so I guess its with that RDO if your with them.

But I guess this will no longer be a problem since your planning to transfer your TIN.

Ok file your application for transfer to another RDO thru 1905. I don't think you'll have a problem with this. I have also talked with TSS chief Mr. Rios regarding the issuance of TIN Card. They will abide by the RR 5-2010 policy.

Anyway, just submit your request for transfer using 1905. The transfer usually takes 2-3 days. So you can call the TIN Verification ofc. within that time. Their number is indicated in the article above.

Once you confirmed the transfer. You can pass your application for TIN Card with your New RDO using again BIR Form 1905. Do keep me posted on how it went. And i have corrected the link of RR 5-2010 in my previous comment. Sorry about that. Good day.

Magandang araw po. ako po ay nalilito lang. last friday ay nagfile po ako ng 1905 sa north makati (rdo 49) to transfer my registration to east pasig (rdo 43-A). sabi after 5 days po. pero nabasa ko po dito na usually 2 to 3 days lang kaya sinubukan ko po tumawag sa mga numbers na pinost ninyo. On my first attempt, I called 981-8888 to check if ever natransfer na ba ung TIN ko. At first hiningi nga ung tin# ko tapos nahirapan ata xa hanapin sa system. Hindi daw niya makita sa ITS. I told him na thru them ko nga nverify kung sang rdo ako naka register at kung ano ung tin. then chineck nya uli. nakita na daw nya. kaso sa website lang daw nya nakita at wala sa “ITS”. Bakit po kaya gnun? Is that normal? What’s the difference dun sa ITS at sa sinasabi niyang sa website lang?

Tapos nag inquire ako sa kanya. Sinabi ko na ngrequest nga ako na itransfer sa rdo 43-a. then he advised me na hnd rin daw nila un nakikita sa ITS kaya magfile nalang daw ako ng 1902 at indicate ko nalang ung tin ko dun.. tama po ba ung advise saken? nalilito na po kasi talaga ako..

on my second attempt i tried to called 926-8339. She got my info instantly and advised me to w8 for it to be transfered.

Should I wait for 5 days to verify if my tin was successfully transfered? or magpapanibago po akong registration dun na mismo sa apparently new rdo na pagttransferan ko sana? kelangan ko din po kasi update records ko eh thru 2305.
hope u could shed some light here.. thanks.

hi,
the address of RDO43A is not in the BIR Website just like some other sub-offices. Is it the same with RDO43 located at: BIR Bldg., Pasig City Hall Complex, Caruncho Ave., Brgy. Malinao, Pasig City

Raiyuto

I’m getting really confused with this. Iam told that there are 2 BIR Offices in Pasig. One in The City Hall (rdo 43-b)and the other one is on a new building located at Ugong (rdo 43-a). Which is which? My concern is where exactly can i find RDO 43-A and how do i get there.

i am also among those confused with this A and B stuff especially with their addresses. only one address is on the BIR website and it doesn’t state whether it’s for A or B. i hope sir birtaxinfo can answer this for us.

Hello Skyla,

Yes, “usually” it takes 2 to 3 days kaya po nakadepende po ito sa workload ng particular district office.

ITS - Integrated Tax System.

Hindi ko po masasagot ang naging dahilan ng kinausap ninyo. Malamang po na di lang niya makita agad ang pangalan ninyo sa mga kadahilanan siya lang po ang tuwirang makakasagot.

Ang ITS ay puwede ma-access sa website thru an internet connection at maari rin po ma-access ito ng kausap ninyo sa Intranet ng opisina thru a private computer network. Kung mawala man ang internet connection puwede pa rin ito ma-access sa Intranet ng BIR.

Hindi po 1902 ang gagamitan para magtransfer kungdi ang 1905 form na ipapasa ninyo sa RDO na kung saan currently naka rehistro ang inyong TIN.

Naipasa na po ninyo kamo itong application na 1905 sa RDO 49 para ma-transfer sa RDO 43A. Tumawag lang po kayo sa TIN verification office or BIRCC upang malaman kung nasa RDO 43 na po ito. Napag-alaman ko na hindi pa na-update ang system base sa pagkahati ng RDO 43. Kya po ang masasabi lang ng TIN Ver. Ofc at ng BIRCC ay kung ito ay nasa RDO 43 lang ito. Hindi nila matutukoy kung ito ay nasa 43A or 43B.

Pero gayon man kung sinabi na po nila na nasa RDO 43 na ang inyong TIN. Malamang po ay ipinasa na ito sa RDO 43A base sa inyong request sa BIR 1905 na ipa-transfer sa RDO 43A.

Kung gusto po ninyo makasiguro na ang TIN ninyo ay nasa RDO 43A. Tumawag lang po kayo sa opisana na ito sa 571-4895 / 571-8378.

Opo, sundin nalang natin ang ipinayo ng opisina na kinausap ninyo ang RDO 49 na ang transfer ay after 5 days. Dahil sila po ang higit na nakakaalam dahil sila po ang magsasagawa ng prosesong ito.

Wag po kayo magpaparehistro ng panibagong TIN. May penalty po ang double TIN. Hintayin ninyo lang ang transfer at once na confirm po ang transfer maari na kayong magpasa ng update thru BIR form 2305.

On the location of RDO 43A. Just click the “LOCATIONAL MAP” link on the left side of this blog under informative links. Browse down to Region 7 where RDO 43A is under. Theres a map there for you to find this office easily.

If your coming from Makati side going thru C5 once you cross the bridge going to Bagong Ilog Pasig. You’ll come across a Petron Station and after that is the Mitsubishi Motors showroom beside it is the BIR RDO 43A. This is clearly shown in the map. Good day.

Hello Raiyuto,

No, RDO 43A is not in the Pasig City Hall complex. RDO 43B is the BIR office located in that area.

On location of RDO 43A just click the “LOCATIONAL MAP” link on the left side of this blog under informative links. Browse down to Region 7 where RDO 43A is under. There is a map there for you to find this office easily.

The BIR website is not updated yet.

Thanks sir, planning to commute via ortigas-c5 intersection.

Salamat po.. ^_^
Buti nalang nahanap ko ang site na toh.

Very Informative

Hello Skyla,

Really appreciate your kind thoughts on this site. Thanks also & Good day.

hello po.tanung ko lng po panu mag apply ng 1902 form ta saan po pwede mag apply?atsaka gano po ktagal mgapply ng TIN ID?may bbyaran po ba?ano2 ang mga requirements?atsaka po ano po ang RDO ng sitel pioneer (boni)?

When I’m trying to register on the bir portal its always rning the message “The TIN and User Information provided does not match. Please try again.” I see to it that all my information are correct but its not accepting it.. is the portal working? tnx..

Hi Diane, magdownload muna kayo ng 1902 form. Ang article sa itaas ay may link po sa copy ng BIR form 1902. Fill out ninyo lang po ang mga impormasyon na hinihingi nito.

May bahagi rin dun sa PART V EMPLOYER INFORMATION hindi po kayo ang magfi-fillout nito kungdi ang inyong EMPLOYER. Pa fill out ninyo po sa authorized personnel ng opisina ninyo at alamin ninyo rin kung saan sila nagpa file ng kanilang taxes o kung anong RDO - Revenue District Office sila under.

Kung under sila ng RDO 41 - Mandaluyong, dun po kayo pupunta para ipasa ang application for TIN or 1902.

Ang requirements po ay ang photocopy ng inyong NSO birth cert. Kung married po Marriage Cert. Kung may dependent child ay ang copy ng birth cert. nung bata.

Kapag meron na kayong TIN. Puwede na kayong mag-apply ng TIN ID thru BIR form 1905. Kung gaano po katagal depende po sa workload ng inyong RDO. Sila po ang makakasagot nito para sa inyo.

Wala pong bayad ang TIN ID card.

wala po akong access sa database ng BIR. Maari ninyong malaman ito sa mismong employer mo po. O tumawag kayo sa BIRCC 981-8888.

Hello Taxpayer,

No, there is no advisory yet on the said portal. But I made some calls, you can talk with Ann May or Randy at 925-2050. I was informed that they are the ones handling that system. Good day.

Ask ko lang po..

nag work po ako sa dalawang magkaibang call center company.
ung sa unang company 3 months lang po ako. nung nag-resign ako wala silang binigay na tin saken but when they hire me, they ask me to fill up a bir registration form w/ the given reqs na pinasa ko naman sa kanila. kada sahod binabawasan nila ako ng tax kahit kung tutuusin eh below minimum pa ung sahod namin (8,300k).. that was year 2008. i was just new to those things kaya hinayaan ko na lang. and then with the second company that i worked with gnun din.. nagsubmit din ako ng form para sa new registration with the appropriate attachments since upon checking wala pa nga akong tin at according to them sila na ang bahalang mgprocess . 11 months have pass pero wala pa din akong tin hanggang sa ngresign ako.. at sa totoo lang malaking bagay din ung tax kuno na kinakaltas nila sa sahod ko.. hindi ko alam kung napupunta ba talaga un sa gobyerno o kung sa kanila na napupunta.. ano po ba ang pwdeng gawin sa mga ganitong pagkakataon? nakapanghihinayang na kinakaltasan KAMI ng tax pero wala naman pinatutunguhan.. “KAMI” dahil hindi lang po ako ang nakakaranas ng ganito.. may mga kaibigan akong ganito din ang nanyari.. with my call center experience.. masasabi ko na laganap eto sa mga call center.. it happen to me twice.. good thing nasa maayos na akong company ngaun.. pero ano po ba dapat gawin sa mga ganung company na ngkakaltas ng tax kahit na wala pang tin number ung employee nila? lalong- lalo na sa mga new hires. sana po may mas maayos at magandang sistema tau para hindi naman sayang ang buwis na inaasahan naming napupunta sa tama at mabuting kamay.. salamat po.

Hello TSR, Kung dalawang beses po kayo pinagawa ng pag-apply sa TIN. Baka po may TIN na kayo, baka dalawa pa. Dapat po alamin ninyo mismo sa BIR kung meron na po talaga kayong TIN. Minsan ang mga employer hindi na nila na-follow-up yun mga TIN applications na ipinadala nila sa RDO nila.

Tawag po kayo sa IR TIN Verification Office at 926-8339 this is their updated number or the BIR Contact center at 981-8888. Upang alamin kung meron na kayong TIN. Kukunin nila ang buong pangalan ninyo at birthdate.

Ang pagkakaltas ng tax kahit wala pang TIN ay base po sa policy ng BIR na substituted filing. Required po ang mga employer na mag withheld ng tax sa suweldo ng kanilang empleyado kahit wala pa silang TIN. Ang TIN po ay hindi katulad ng isang savings account number o ng SSS number.

Nalalaman po natin kung nare-remit ito sa BIR kapag umalis na tayo sa kompanya dapat hingin natin ang 2316 certificate na nakadetalye dun ang kinaltas nila sa iyo ng employer mo. Dahil ito rin ang hihingin ng bago mong employer na nag sisilbing ITR din natin.

Kung hindi po nila ibibigay ito. Maari pong maghain kayo ng complaint sa BIR REvenue District ofc (RDO) na may hawak sa lugar ng dati mong employer. Upang malaman nila ang ginagawa nitong mga kompanyang ito.

Salamat po sa mga mungkahi ninyo ukol sa tamang pagbabayad ng buwis. Ganun din ang ninanais namin na mapunta sa ating gobyerno ang buwis na nagmula sa ating sahod. Sa mga inpormasyon na binibigay ng mga taong tulad ninyo. Nalalaman ng BIR ang mga ganitong mga kompanya.

Salamat po..

hi! i just want to verify kung anong documetns ang kelangan para makakuha ng tin. you said kelangan ng nso birth certificate and barangay clearance. kelangan po ba original copy yung birth cert? pano pag walang barangay clearance, pde po ba nbi clearance? (ipapakita lang po ba ito, or they’ll keep it for documentation). thank you!

Hi Joyceee,

Nasabi po ng article na xerox lang po o photocopy ng NSO birth certificate. Wala pong barangay clearance na ni-require sa TIN for Employment na gamit po ay BIR form 1902.

Ang pinag-uusapan po rito ayun na rin po sa title ng blog article ay TIN for EMPLOYMENT kaya po BIR form 1902 ang ginagamit po rito.

Kung hindi po EMPLOYMENT ang dahilan ng pagkuha ng TIN at may ibang dahilan tulad ng pag apply ng drivers license ay BIR form 1904 ang gagamitin natin.

Kaya ang required attachment sa 1904 ay birth cert. at barangay clearance. Hindi po ba for employment ang dahilan ninyo upang kumuha ng TIN?

Isang paglilinaw lang po xerox lang ng birth certificate ang kelangan sa BIR form 1902. Kung married po, kelangan po photocopy naman ng Marriage Certificate. At kung may dependents na kayo. Dapat din po ibigay ang mga birth certificate din nila.

Ibibigay po ang mga photocopy ng birth certificate hindi lang po ipapakita. good day po.

hello
m applying on behalf of a foreigner for Alien Employment Permit via DOLE at confusing ang sinasabi na kailangan applyan ng TIN. Sa NGO po sya mag work at in actuality walang babayaran ang NGO dito since shouldered ng foreign partner namin ang kanyang salary. transportation here lang ang sagot namin. ANong klaseng TIN ba mag-apply? Hindi rin namin alam papaano yun since wala nga siyang income coming from here.

Hi Mia, I believe there is a Republic Act requiring TIN for all government transactions. This is why DOLE is requiring a TIN for the said foreigner.

You can go to the Revenue District Office (RDO) of the BIR who has jurisdiction over your NGO’s business address. You can apply for the TIN of the said foreigner.

The BIR has a Tax Assistance Counter who can help you out to get the TIN for the said foreigner.

With regards to taxes imposed on foreigners working here yet his income or salary is being paid from a business entity abroad. Or derives income from abroad. You can call the International Tax Affairs Division of the BIR at 981-7000 locals 7342 / 7340 / 7341 / 7339 or direct line 926-5729 look for Orson.

Should you have any other concerns just post it here. Thank you and good day.

Hi

I am a fresh graduate and I would like to get a tin. But I am still unemployed. So I will use 1904? and the requirements are xerox copies of birthcert and barangay clearance.

Question:

what will i check under the “TAX TYPES”

Thanks

Hi Adsmashers,

TIN thru this form is for a particular transaction only. Yes you can get a TIN. But once you are employed. You will still need to update the TIN using the BIR form 1902 to indicate your EMPLOYER.

I would suggest that you get a TIN when you have an employer thats going to hire you. So just apply and when you have a company thats open to hire you. You can give the 1902 after filling out your portion to your employer.

The 1902 has a portion to be filled by the employer. After which, You will submit this to the RDO where your employer’s TIN is currently registered. That RDO or Revenue District Office of the BIR will be the one to give you your TIN.

Hi Sir,

I am thankful to have found this site in search for answers to a couple of questions:

1. Is it true that one can file an exemption in the filing of annual income tax return if the contract of work does not reach at least a year? say, contract good for 10 months or so?

2. I work for our family (composed of me, my mother and a minor sibling) because of the death of my father. Can I file for an exemption as head of the family although I am single? If so, what are the procedures and requirements?

Thanks much.

Hi JR,

1. No, I don’t think it’s true or accurate to think so. Since there is no regulation that I know of that supports this. A friend mine is under contract with a government agency exactly for 10 months but she still files her ITR. Like business contractors who usually depend on income from their contracts with their clients whether for only 3 months. Should declare the income he/she earned from that job. and pay the corresponding taxes unless there is a ruling you got from the BIR’s Law Division which grants such an exemption.

For example, there is a law granting VAT exemptions for religious organization or tax breaks. Now, an individual registered a church thru SEC it doesn’t follow that since he has registered that church can apply the tax breaks indicated in our laws. He should first get a ruling from the Law Division of the BIR to be able to enjoy that tax breaks under our laws. The tax breaks given to certain organizations are closely monitored by the BIR so as not to be abused.

2. Under the RR 10-2008 page 23 “Individual taxpayers regardless of status are entitled to P50,000.00 personal exemption”. And it also says in this page letter (b) to be entitled for additional 25K exemption “…addtitional exemption of 25,000 for each DEPENDENT CHILD”

So under this new ruling you are entitled to 50K personal exemptions. The previous rule for single is 20K while the head of the family gets 25K personal exemption.

Compare the previous your personal exemptions is now higher or double courtesy of RA 9504. Implemented thru the BIRs RR 10-2008.

To avail of this personal exemption, you need to register with the BIR for your TIN. If have a TIN registered under your name then you can apply this exemption in your ITR or Income Tax Return.

gud evening po sir…ask ko lang po..i’m a recent board passer sa physician licensure exam..balak ko po mag-apply for residency training program..one of the requirements po kasi ng mga hospitals e is TIN..ako raw mag-apply..hindi pa po ako employed so ano po form kelangan ko 1904 po ba or 1901??un 1901 or 1902 po yata kelangan pa pirmahan ng employer..e since applicant pa lang po ako wala po pipirma..saan na po lumipat un bir na nasa mindanao ave?thanks po sir

Hi Betsy,

New job applicants or those who are applying for their first jobs are required by employers to have TIN. Most if not all don’t have a TIN yet.

If you are a job applicant and the employer has made their INTENTION to hire you. Your employer is required by BIR to sign the EMPLOYER’S PORTION of the BIR 1902 form.

The employer should indicate the company TIN and the BIR Revenue District code where this employer is currently registered.

This is where the employee will be going to request for his/her TIN. Yes, you will be going to the BIR Revenue District office (RDO) where your employer’s TIN is also registered.

If your going to use BIR form 1904. The RDO where you will be going is the RDO who has jurisdiction over your barangay or your home address.

For 1901, if your planning to register as a professional. Please be aware that you will be considered as a business entity where you will be dispensing your own OFFICIAL RECEIPTS as a PRACTICING PROFESSIONAL. If you will be registering as a PRACTICING PROFESSIONAL under the BIR, you are telling BIR you are NOT into any EMPLOYEE OR EMPLOYER relationship. You have a business of your own which you are the boss. Thus, you will be filing your own income tax returns. This is what it means to be PRACTICING PROFESSIONAL for the BIR.

Based on what you said, once you are accepted as a resident physician your an employee of the said hospital I believe. So you should use the BIR form 1902. You might want to read this article:

Hi Sir,

Regarding issuance of TIN Card, do we still need to attach authorization letter from the company? Ang alam ko po sa iba hindi na nag-re-require ng letter, bakit sa Ugong humihingi? and sana iniinform nila ahead of time, let’s say upon application ng TIN number. para hindi na pabalik-balik. Such a waste of time and energy din, most especially if you need to excuse from work.

Salamat po.

Would just like to ask if form 1902 is only for NEW application of TIN number? How come in the description of the form in the BIR website, it says, “This form is to be accomplished by an old or new employee whether resident citizen or non-resident citizens earning purely compensation income.” My query is actually based on the BIR RR#10-2008 section 4, stating that employers should require their employees to accomplish form 1902. or old na itong rule na to? thanks in advance.

Hi Ishi,

No, you don’t need to attach authorization letter. There is no mention of such in the ruling below on Issuance of TIN Card.

ftp://ftp.bir.gov.ph/webadmin1/pdf/51752RR%205-2010%20ON%20TRANSFER%20OF%20REGISTRATION.pdf

Mention to the personnel pertaining this ruling. Talk with the TSS head there if I am correct its Oliver Rios. If this is an official policy then demand to be given a copy of it. Because the Revenue Regulation mentioned above has not yet been changed, revoked or superseded.

It says once you have a TIN assigned or verified under your name. You are qualified to get a TIN card. No AUTHORIZATION LETTER is mentioned. Because the said TIN is NOT UNDER your EMPLOYER’s name. It is your’s.

May I know when this happened? and do you remember the personnel who told you this?

Hi Qtkng,

First, we can only have one TIN. We are not allowed to apply for another one.

Ok, for applicants with no TIN yet…the 1902 is the form you use to apply for a TIN provided you have an employer.

Now there are people whose TINs are placed in the OLD database of the BIR. mainly because it was not updated or was found to be inactive in someway.

To activate and be placed in the ITS database, the 1902 is the form to be used, of course you need to indicate your TIN so that the encoder will not mistake your application for a new applicant for TIN. And the employer information portion of the said form should be filled out by his/her employer. To be submitted to the Revenue District Office (RDO) where the said employer is registered and filing their tax.

So RR10-2008, is the Implementing Rules & Regulation of the RA 9504. It increased the personal exemptions of employees. To avail of the said increase employees new and old are required to update their registration to comply to this ruling. And employees with no TIN should apply for a TIN. This rule is still in effect. Unless otherwise revoked by a new ruling.

Should you have any other concerns regarding this just post it here. Thank you and good day.

Thank you so much for your immediate response, Sir.
By the way, it happened last week, July 12 (Monday) and the receiving officer was Mr. Joey Gregorio.

Good day,

Ask ko lang po kasi kanina I went to BIR sa may Mandaluyong tapos magpapasa po sana ko ng 1902 na form kaya lang hindi ko pa po napa-fill up sa employer then I decided to ask the BIR personnel kung pwede mag 1904 na lang and apply for a driver license para less pagod na din para mag-pabalik balik. Sabi nung BIR personnel sakin eh hindi na daw need sa LTO ng tin number. Ask ko lang po if hindi na talga kayo nag iissue ng 1904 for application of driver’s license?

Hi Ishi,

Thank you also for this information. We will inform the proper authorities of the Bureau to address this concern.

In behalf of the BIR, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Thank you for the reply…
Just a few more clarification, so sino po magsasabi sa amin kung “inactive” ang TIN ng isang tao? sa RDO ba mismo?
You have mentioned before,in another entry,about form 1905.so if inactive yung TIN,then ibang RDO siya with his new employer,then fill up 1905 din?
So paano po yung mga new employees na meron ng TIN,would the employer still require them to fill up 1902 or 2305 na lang? let us say, wala namang changes sa kanyang status except new employer lang. what if new employer na,then may mga changes din sa kanyang status,like married or with kids na?
Again, thanks if advance!

Hi Qtkng,

Thru BIR TIN Verification ofc. 926-8339 this is their updated number or the BIR Contact center at 981-8888.

If the TIN is in the OLD database you can update this with any RDO I believe. So if you plan to work in area which is not under the jurisdiction of the RDO where you first got your TIN. You can use the 1902 form. Indicating your TIN and all the pertinent info required by said form. And the Employer Information portion of that form should be FILLED OUT by your current employer. And you can submit this with the RDO where your current employer is filing their taxes.

You can use 1905 for transfer to another RDO if the condition is that your TIN is in the ITS database na or is active in the said database. But if TIN is in the OLD database then you should use the 1902. And like I said you can submit it direct to the RDO of your current employer.

Unlike the 1905 you have to submit it to the RDO where your TIN is currently registered. Again, IF the condition is that your TIN is active in the ITS database.

For new employees who have TINs already they can file for update using 2305 like if they got married or had a child. Attached would be marriage cert. if they got married. and birth cert. of the child if they had a child.

Again if the condition is that the your TIN is already in the ITS database. Then you don’t need to update anything. Now if you got married, then you need to update using 2305 attachment is the marriage cert. Submit it to the RDO where your TIN is currently registered.

Hello Chris18,

Nag-issue pa naman ang BIR ng 1904 for application for drivers license dahil may mga sectors po lang ang saklaw ng ruling na mga individual na puwede ng hindi kunan ng TIN. Tulad ng estudyante na ang nanais kumuha ng drivers license, o minors, professional members ng isang religious organization tulad ng pari, pastor, nuns, lay ministers. Ngayon kung di ka nakapasok sa mga exceptions ng ruling na ito. mangangailangan po kayo ng TIN.

Advise ko lang po wag kayong kukuha ng TIN thru 1904. Dahil pagkalaunan din babalik din kayo para i-update ng TIN ninyo dahil itong mga TIN thru 1904 ay One TIME TIN lang po. Mas mabuti po na kumuha kayo ng TIN thru 1902.

Hi sir,

ask ko lang po kase last 2002 po nag apply ako ng tin thru e-reg as a professional, kaya lang hindi na ko nakapunta sa rdo for printing at payment, hanggang natapos nalang contract ko sa work at nakapanganak ako, hindi na ko nakabalik sa work since then, ngayon pwede pa kaya ung application ko for e-tin or mag-aaply na ako ng bagong tin number kase balak ko tayo ng sari-sari store at magparegister sa bir at city hall. thank you po.
