With the new portal in place, citizens can simply go online and log on to the NBR’s website and provide the necessary details which include the following: national identity card number, mobile phone number and e-mail address, to get their TIN online.
“This is a massive step towards the online tax payment system,” said Finance Minister AMA Muhith, adding that the move would help them clean out the existing database thereby preventing incidences of fraud.
Under the e-TIN registration process, the NBR will cross examine the information provided with the National ID database preserved at the Election Commission and RJSC online. If the information provided by applicants is found correct, the TIN would be issued online instantly.
“Such live sharing of database will facilitate us to verify information and stop fraudulence in getting TIN,” said NBR Chairman Ghulam Hussain.
Furthermore, the e-TIN registration will also help various agencies such as Bangladesh Road Transport Authority, RJSC, Banks and Land Registration Authority to verify the authenticity of TINs.
