Please provide here a narrative description of the criteria governing the issuance of the TIN (e.g. some
jurisdictions may only issue TINs to individuals, or to individuals that are filing tax returns; other
jurisdictions may also issue TINs to (a subset of) Entities). In addition, information about the TIN
issuing bodies, as well as the taxes for which the TIN is used as means of identification (e.g. income
tax, wage tax, withholding taxes, VAT, etc.). In case a jurisdiction issues separate TINs for different
taxes (e.g. income taxes, VAT, etc.), please only provide information in relation to the TINs you would
expect to be provided for identification purposes in the context of the CRS.
Furthermore, jurisdictions may provide any useful information regarding the validity and frequency of
renewal of TINs, as well as any recent changes made to the structure of their TINs.
Any further information regarding TINs that jurisdictions deem useful for publication on the CRS Portal
may also be added in this narrative section.
Question 1 – Does your jurisdiction automatically issue TINs to all residents for tax purposes?
Question 2a – If you answered No to Question 1 with respect to individuals, describe those instances
where individuals are not being automatically issued a TIN.
Response:
Question 2b – If you answered No to Question 1 with respect to Entities (as defined by the CRS), describe
those instances where Entities are not being automatically issued a TIN.

Section II – TIN Structure
This section contains information on the alphanumeric structure of the TIN, the use of slashed, capital letter,
hyphens, etc. In addition, please outline here the meaning given to the numbers and letters that make up the TIN
(including for instance the use of check digits).
1. The TIN consists of a ten-digit number N9N8N7N6N5N4N3N2N1K, where tenth digit number (K) is a control
number of TIN.
The taxpayer's identification number is considered correct if the value of its control number is equal to the number
determined according to the algorithm presented in items 2-8.
2. Take nine digits N9 N8 N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 N2 N1 from TIN and every digit is multiplied by the corresponding
number in the sequence 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The obtained results are summed up.
A= Sum (Ni*i), where i = 1,…,9.
3. Then the sum is divided by the module of a two-digit number equal to the first two digits of the TIN number
N9N8
B =A mod N9N8.
(e.g. Oracle PL/SQL: „A MOD N9N8” or „MOD(A, N9N8)”)
4. If the obtained remainder is B<10, then it is the control number of the tax payer K =B.
5. If the obtained remainder is B >=10, then the digits of the remainder Sj, Sj-1,…, S1 are added up:
Z = Sum (Sm), where m = 1,…,j.
6. If the obtained sum is Z < 10, then it is the control number of the tax payer K=Z.
7. If the sum is Z >=10, then the digits of the reminder Sj, Sj-1,..., S1 are added up:
Z = Sum (Sm), where m = 1, …,i.
8. The operation from 7th point is repeated until the number Z<10 is obtained. The resulting number Z<10 is the
control number K = Z of the taxpayer's identification number.
