TIN Registration
We help you to solve your problems.
TIN Registration (JTB / FIRS)
Tax Identification Number (TIN) is a unique 10-digit number assigned to individuals and businesses by the Joint Tax Board (JTB) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for the purpose of tax administration in Nigeria.
TIN serves as the official tax identity of every taxpayer — whether a company, business name, or individual — and is used to track all tax-related activities including income tax, VAT, and other statutory obligations.
Issuing Authorities
JTB (Joint Tax Board):
Issues TINs to individuals and businesses registered with state tax authorities or unincorporated entities (like sole proprietorships and business names)..
FIRS (Federal Inland Revenue Service):
Issues TINs to incorporated entities such as Limited Liability Companies registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
Both systems are now integrated under the JTB TIN Portal, which means every TIN generated (whether by JTB or FIRS) is automatically synchronized and verifiable nationwide.
