The BIR eRegistration System is an online service of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in the Philippines that allows certain individuals to get a TIN number online. This online portal is meant to Professionals and Single Proprietors (business owners) who wants to apply for an Tax Identification Number (TIN) through eTIN, a module of the BIR eRegistration System.
Employees, unemployed or students should not register themselves online using this system to get a TIN number. If you register in BIR as a Sole Proprietor but you don’t own a business, chances are, the BIR might sent you a letter for a failure to submit reports or documents needed by the BIR on a regular basis. This because you registered as a Sole Proprietor. Perhaps, several people might have experience this. Unless you are a business man/woman, do not apply directly in this online service.
However, if you are an employee, you may secure a TIN Number though your employer if he/she has access to the eTIN. This is possible if your employer has an Employer User Account enrolled in the eRegistration System.
On the other hand, if you are a student, housewife or unemployed, you may secure your TIN Number in the Government Agencies and Instrumentalities (GAIs).
In other words, if you are NOT a Professional or Single Proprietor, do not apply for a TIN Number online. It is highly recommended that you just visit the BIR Revenue District Office (RDO) in your area. You may follow this guide: How to Get TIN Number of Employees or Students and Unemployed.
