The Inland Revenue Department has implemented the Tax Identification Number (TIN) initiative from January 2022. Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) are required for property transactions and for the payment of stamp duty on property, shares, and businesses.
The Tax Identification Number (TIN) or simply TIN is a set of numbers used to identify individuals for tax purposes, which will effectively solve the problem of tax evasion and tax avoidance!
The Tax Identification Number is required to be entered when a person makes a specific transaction, so that the Inland Revenue Department will know that you have made a transaction such as a property transaction, stamp duty, etc. It will be easier for the Inland Revenue Department to know if you have any tax leakage or tax evasion.
Currently, taxpayers who already have an income tax number do not need to apply for a separate tax identification number, as the income tax number is the tax identification number. The Department of Revenue has set up a special website for people to check their income tax number and tax identification number.
