In this short guide, we elucidate the importance of a TIN for Nigerian businesses and how it’s pivotal for every business in accessing financial opportunities.

What Is A Tax Identification Number (TIN)?

A Tax Identification Number is a unique number issued by the Federal Inland Revenue Service to registered businesses, entities, and individuals to track their tax-related activities. It’s essential in carrying out financial transactions and tax activities concerning their business.

Why Businesses Need To Register For TIN

• Tax Adherence: TIN ensures businesses responsibly comply with tax laws, file taxes promptly, and fulfill other financial duties.

• Credibility And Trust: It establishes the avenue for trust among businesses carrying out financial transactions and tax regulatory issues.

• Financial Transactions: It’s a compulsion or criterion for businesses to acquire their TIN when involved in contracts, partnerships, and other business dealings.

• Access Funding Opportunities: All financial and lending institutions require a TIN as a mandatory tool for acquiring a business loan. Loan lenders rely on digital integrations for loan filing systems. Hence, a valid TIN in tax authority databases serves as a stringent factor that determines tax behavior. Businesses with a valid TIN enjoy seamless loan and credit options, loans without paperwork, and diverse credit options.

• Coordinate Custom Clearance and Foreign Trade: A TIN is a criterion for businesses that undergo exporting trade. TIN provides custom officials with an overview and up-to-date data on your business tax activities.

• Simplify Payroll Management: An updated TIN allows seamless employee PAYE (Pay As You Earn) deductions. It encourages error-free salary taxation using the TDS approach. The TDS approach allows businesses to make certain deductions from payments and remit them to the government. This prevents tax evasion on your part and ensures income tax is collected in advance. 

Obtaining TIN boosts financial inclusion for all sizes of businesses, and streamlines operational efficiency. Harnessing the power of tax filing and regularities with your TIN erodes the tax evasion burden from your business.
