URA announced that it had made changes to its TIN registration process with simplified web-based steps which was a sigh of relief for many taxpayers. In this article, we take a look at how to apply for a TIN with the new URA TIN registration process.
A number of changes were made like the removal of referee and alternate contact person detail, the requirement of unique and email and upload of attachments, no documents required if the person has a valid NIN and more. These changes were made to the old process which involved using a Microsoft Excel Template that was quite complex for those who tried to register.
