Effective 1st January 2022, URA started issuing instant Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) to individual taxpayers through an upgraded web-based application form. Taxpayers processing TINs to execute temporary transactions will most benefit from this upgrade.
The upgraded web-based application form will only require a valid National Identification Number (NIN) for one to apply for the TIN. For individuals without NINs, a passport or driving permit will suffice. Taxpayers will only fill in three fields, namely; personal information, source of income and address. The use of phone numbers has taken the place of emails to avert the use of duplicate emails.
A TIN is an identification number used by the Uganda Revenue Authority in the administration of tax laws. It is the key identifier taxpayers use when filing returns or making tax-related transactions.
