You Can Now Search For Your Tax Identification Number
The Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRB) has recently launched a Tax Identification Number (TIN) search service for taxation activities provided under the Income Tax Act (ACP) 1967.
This TIN search service can be accessed via the MyTax Portal at mytax.hasil.gov.my.
According to a statement released by the IRB, individual taxpayers can now do a TIN search by entering their identity card number or passport number. Taxpayers within other categories can search by entering their Business Registration Number (BRN) or their names.
To facilitate the implementation of e-Invoices, the TIN search function is also provided through the Mylnvois portal; and Mylnvois Application Programming Interface (API).
More information on the TIN search function via API is available via the Mylnvois Software Development Kit (SDK).
The TIN search access can also be provided via the MyTax portal by using the MyDigital ID identity verification. The IRB said that this is to support the use of MyDigital ID.
The TIN search service through the MyTax or Myinvois portal will only display one matching TIN based on the search information entered. The IRB also stressed that the use of the TIN search function is only for purposes provided under the ITA 1967.
