Key points
- RDO practice. RDOs do not accept manual TIN Verification requests or issue TIN Verification slips for employment purposes, except in four cases.
- Exceptions. These are when the online facility is unavailable or prompts a visit to the RDO, when BIR personnel need to further verify registration information, when the taxpayer has an existing TIN or record, or when there are multiple or identical TINs.
- Employer verification. Employers verify new hires’ TINs through the Online TIN Verification facility of ORUS (https://orus.bir.qov.ph/search/tinverification) or the BIR Chatbot Revie. The result shown is sufficient for verification purposes.
Who is affected
- Employers
- Newly-hired employees
