According to the notice from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia, the Tax Identification Number (TIN) has been officially implemented starting from 1st January 2022. Whether buying a car or properties in the name of an individual or a company, must have a TIN.
Taxpayers who already have an income tax number do not need to apply for a TIN, while those who have income but are not eligible for tax payment must submit an income tax form. Retirees or full-time students who are over 18 years old are only required to file tax returns if they comply with the income tax statutes.
TIN is the income tax number currently recorded by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia. For example, the file numbers of individual residents and non-residents are SG and OG, and the company’s file number is C.
