URA has made changes in the TIN numbers and you can now apply online in simple steps. “In a bid to improve the client experience and ease the application process, the individual Tax Identification Number (TIN) application process is now completely web-based. You now say good bye to the old excel form and it’s complexities ,” read the statement on Twitter. The old excel form has now been transformed into a simple web form.
Some other changes that happened is the preregistration data which automatically appears with the NIN number for individual applicants and URSB data for business owners. For individual applicants, NIRA and URA systems have been synchronized and putting your NIN will bring out all that personal identifying information.
For TIN applicants with business, URSB and URA systems have also been synchronized and business information can be retrieved once the Business Registration Number (BRN) has been entered.
Other changes done to improve the process include; Removal of Referee and Alternate contact person details; No uploading of documents is required as long as the applicant has a valid NIN and BRN; and there will be no need to print and sign off the Terms and Conditions.
