Registration


All businesses and employers need to register with the IRD.

If you are a not-for-profit organisation or charitable trust you may still have tax obligations and need to register with IRD. Please contact IRD for more information.

Businesses

If you are running a business you will need to register for tax purposes. To register please complete the Tax Identification Number Application TAA 1 form for Individuals or TAA 1A form for Non Individuals. IRD will issue you with a Tax Identification Number (TIN). Your TIN should be written on all IRD forms and on any correspondence or other dealings with IRD. Putting your TIN on your payment forms, returns and correspondence will make it quicker and easier to deal with IRD.

Employers

If you employed staff you are required to register with IRD. This includes employing organizations such as NGOs, private schools, and churches. Please complete the Tax Identification Number  Application TAA 1 form for Individuals or TAA 1A Form for Non - Individual and forward to IRD.

Employees

If your only income is from employment you DO NOT need to register with IRD. Your employer will deduct the tax you need to pay through the PAYE system.
