How To Get Your TIN

Since I am an official employee now, I should also be a certified taxpayer, though... 

but... "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." -Romans 13:1

Hehe. So there, to end my frustration of having government-affiliated numbers, and of course to process my payroll, I went to BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) this morning and applied to get my TIN (Tax Identification Number.) And in less than an hour, I got it! :)

If you are a new local employee who needs to have one, follow these steps.

1. Go to BIR RDO (Revenue District Office) of your employer, and accomplish BIR Form 1902 .

2. Fill in the form, go to your company and have it signed by your employer on the Employer Information section.

3. Make sure to secure these requirements:

    a. A photocopy of your NSO authenticated birth certificate;
    b. Certificate of Employment;
    c. Marriage contract, if applicable.

4. Go back to BIR with your 1902 form and your requirements and have them photocopied. Get a stub for TIN issuance counter from the guard , and wait for your turn of processing.

For a few minutes, you'll already have your TIN! Happy tax paying! :)

In case you are a fresh graduate and you need to have TIN for pre-employment purposes, go to the RDO of your city and accomplish BIR Form 1901, bring the same requirements with a barangay clearance and follow the same steps! :) So there you go! :D

"For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed."

-Romans 13:6-7
