January 24, 2023

Dear Mr. Vidallo:
Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jan 24, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Electonic Tin.

Response to your request

After careful consideration, we resolve to deny your request due to the following reasons:

The request falls outside the scope of the FOI program (i.e. the request is a front-line/government service of the agency, etc.); and

TIN and Other Relevant Personal Information is considered a piece of Sensitive Personal Information that is bounded by the Data Privacy Act of 2012, as such, it is not advisable to be uploaded in the FOI Portal because this is a public website.

You may also adopt Other Measures to ensure that Section 270 of the 1997 Tax Code, as amended, and Republic Act 10173 are not violated. 

TIN Inquiry and/or Validation are now available through Chatbot-Revie which can be accessed thru the BIR Website (www.bir.gov.ph).

Thank you.

Respectfully,

FOI Receiving Officer
Public Information and Education Division
