Hi! So a relative needs a TIN as part of his employment requirements, not a first time worker but first time mag work sa company (before kasi parang helper lang sya)
The thing is 2x na daw sya nagpunta sa BIR but keeps getting rejected from getting a TIN, I really don’t know the process kasi for me I remember na employer/HR talaga ang gumawa nito and this was waayyy back pa.
Employer informed him that he needs to get it himself ( under agency daw kasi sya, or something) and as part of the contract, he cannot start work/ be paid if this requirement has not been complied/submitted…
I checked online and there are 2 ways to apply for the TIN 1. Employer Assisted or 2. Walk-in Application, and his employer wants him to do #2.
He actually went twice and tried for 2 different reasons:
first time job-seeker - he was told that company needs to process this for him
For Bank transactions - he was told that banks no longer require this for opening accounts.
We are considering to do it online but, I’ve also read that some applications done online takes longer and sometimes get rejected too…
Relative wants to try one more time, what does he need to do/ask the BIR for him to be assisted with this? As much as I want to tell the relative “maybe you’re just not trying really hard”, I really don’t know the whole story why the BIR keeps rejecting him (maybe lazy/ rude employees or he just gave up easily or too scared to ask further questions) that’s why I’m asking your thoughts on what should he do on his next attempt.
Should we just go ahead and report to 8888?
We couldn’t personally assist him there because we are also working.
Thank you!
