In 2026, your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is the most important piece of financial data for your business. It is required to open a bank account, process an import license, and get a Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC). Fortunately, the process is now more streamlined than ever.
For Companies (Corporate TIN)
If you register a company today, the CAC and NRS systems generate your TIN automatically. You can find it on your Certificate of Incorporation. If you have an older company without a TIN, you can apply via the TaxPro Max portal by uploading your incorporation documents and directors’ IDs.
For Individuals and Sole Proprietors
- Visit the Joint Tax Board (JTB) portal.
- Register using your NIN or BVN.
- Validate your identity through the OTP sent to your phone.
- Download your TIN certificate instantly.
