Forgotten Tax Identification Number(TIN)

May 1, 2014 - Labor Day, news was all over the television. So much job fairs were available for the newly graduates, unemployed and underemployed people. 

By the way, one of the requirements of companies hiring new employees is their respective Tax Identification Number (TIN). And I have a good news to establishments having difficulty with the TINs of their newly hired personnel. I heard and learned that TIN Verification may now be done by:  

• sending TIN Verification request to this email address: tiedtinver@bir.gov.ph
• the subject line should all be capital letters and at this particular order; NAME OF THE OFFICE/COMPANY NAME,BRANCH/DIVISION/DEPARTMENT NAME, TINVER and DATE (mmddyy) - BATCH NUMBER  from 01.              

        example: (without branch)                    
                          SUBJECT: ABC CO TINVER 051114-01

                      (with branch)
                         SUBJECT: ABC CO CEBU TINVER 051114-01

• the proper and required format is as follows:           
  

TIN	FULL NAME	DOB	STATUS	REMARKS
NUMBER	(Surname,First, Middle)	(mm/dd/yr)

The data on the status and remarks will be provided by the BIR. So leave it blank.

•  if you want information on their respective Revenue District Offices (RDO), you may just provide another column between the DOB and STATUS.

TIN	FULL NAME	DOB	RDO No.	STATUS	REMARKS
NUMBER	(Surname,First, Middle)	(mm/dd/yr)

• the full name and the date of birth are mandatory.
• the required minimum numbers for verification is 5 and the maximum is 10 per request.
• request is until 2:00 pm and send it only once.

But establishments which do not have branches and did not meet the required 5 minimum number per request need to submit a written request address to the Chief of the Public Information and Education Division (PIED). Processing of the said request will only proceed upon approval. All succeeding requests need to be approved by the PIED.

You are required to use only one company's official email address. 

For those who are using the Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and others need to submit a copy of the Certificate of Registration (COR) or the BIR Form 2303 and also authorization to use a particular email address for TIN Verification.

To send the said documents, you may scan it and send to the same email address.

Please take note that the PIED does not provide the TIN NUMBERs. If an individual wants to verify his/her own TIN, he/she may call the BIR Contact Center at 981-8888 then select 1 or he/she may call the Revenue District Office.

For further assistance or follow-up on the said request you may coordinate with the following telnos.: 981-7000 local 7250 / 7251 /7252

Again, I hope this blog helps you in anyway.
