Ghana Revenue Authority’s bold move: Your Ghana Card PIN emerges as the new TIN

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has bid farewell to the conventional Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for individuals, ushering in a new era where your Ghana Card Personal Identification Number (PIN) takes center stage.

Since the introduction of the Ghana Card, individuals no longer need a separate TIN, as their Ghana Card PIN now serves as their unique Tax Identification Number. This streamlined approach aims to simplify processes and enhance efficiency in the tax system.

However, businesses are not left out of the transformation. While individuals transition to using their Ghana Card PINs, companies can still register for and utilize the Corporate TIN. This dual system ensures that both individuals and businesses benefit from a seamless and updated tax identification process.

The Ghana Card, equipped with advanced security features and biometric data, provides a secure foundation for this transition. The GRA’s decision to leverage the Ghana Card reflects a commitment to embracing technological advancements for a more user-friendly and robust tax infrastructure.

Taxpayers are urged to familiarize themselves with this evolution in tax identification, emphasizing that their Ghana Card PIN is now their Personal TIN. The move aligns with global trends in utilizing digital identity solutions for efficient governance and taxation.
