What Is TIN Number?

A TIN number in Malaysia is a Tax Identification Number, also known as Nombor Pengenalan Cukai. It is a unique number assigned to individuals and entities registered as taxpayers with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM). The TIN number is used by the IRBM to identify taxpayers and track their tax records. It is also utilized by the IRBM to monitor taxpayer compliance and detect tax evasion.
 
The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) has announced an update to the format of Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) for Malaysian taxpayers. The new format will be effective from January 1, 2023.
 
The old TIN format was a 12 or 13-digit number, with the first one or two letters indicating the type of taxpayer, such as “SG” for individual residents or “C” for companies. The remaining digits constituted a unique identifier for the taxpayer.
 
The new TIN format will consist of a 13-digit number. The first two letters will be “IG,” which stands for “Individual taxpayer.” The remaining 11 digits will remain the same as the old TIN number. Here’s how to check your TIN number online.
