Get Your TIN (Tax Identification Number) Quickly and Correctly
A Tax Identification Number (TIN) is a unique number issued by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for companies and by the State Internal Revenue Service (SIRS) for individuals.
Every business or individual conducting financial, commercial, or statutory transactions in Nigeria must have a valid TIN.
Without a TIN, you cannot:
-
Open or maintain a corporate bank account
-
Apply for loans or grants
-
Receive payments from many organisations
-
Register for VAT or withholding tax
-
Do government business (contracts, tenders, procurement)
-
Meet mandatory tax compliance requirements
We help individuals and businesses obtain, verify, or update their TIN in the fastest and most compliant way.
Types of TIN in Nigeria
1. Individual TIN
Issued by the State Internal Revenue Service (SIRS) and linked to your NIN/BVN.
2. Corporate TIN
Issued by the FIRS automatically after CAC incorporation, but it often needs:
