# What is TIN (Uganda)?

Country: Uganda

The Tax Identification Number: a 10-digit number URA issues free of charge to every taxpayer, used for all taxes.

## Current rate (Issued once. A company has one TIN.)

Free of charge.

## Example

A new private limited company registers with URSB, then applies for its TIN on the URA portal with its certificate of incorporation and directors' details.

## How TIN (Uganda) works in Uganda

Register the business with URSB first, then apply for the TIN through URA e-services. Directors without a TIN can be registered at the same time. Individuals use their National Identification Number.

Anyone asking you to pay for a TIN is not acting for URA.
