What's a Tax Identification Number (TIN)
We have introduced the internationally recognised 10 digit Tax Identification Number (TIN).
The introduction of TINs brings Jersey in line with international tax practice ensuring that every individual has their own unique identity.
Where you'll find your TIN
Your TIN is on all correspondence from Revenue Jersey. Use it for all your correspondence and payments with us.
Every individual with a Jersey tax record will be given a TIN. Children born in Jersey will have a TIN assigned as part of the birth registration process.
Registering for tax
When you register for tax for the first time you'll be given a TIN.
Moving to Jersey: Register as a Jersey resident (includes tax registration)
Register for tax only (if you don't need to register as a Jersey resident)
About TINs
A TIN is a 10 digit unique number used to identify you for tax purposes.
TINs are widely used around the world so our use of them will help bring Jersey’s tax system in line with international best practice.
ITIS effective rate notices
Every employee will receive their own effective rate notice which will include their own unique TIN.
This ITIS rate notice must be given to your employer when you receive it.
If you're employed
Employers will use your TIN when they send us their monthly return. This makes sure your tax and contributions are recorded correctly.
Paying your tax or contribution bill
Make sure you use your TIN and any other payment information (like the year or month) that's needed to correctly allocate your payment.

Companies and other entities
All organisations and other bodies will also be assigned a TIN.
However, you will still use the legacy tax reference to register for filing online company returns or combined employer returns.
