REGISTRATION HANDBOOK TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

LEGAL ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS

Introduction For any tax authority to effectively administer its country’s tax legislation it is imperative that it is able to identify the tax base for which it is responsible i.e. all those taxpayers who are required to file a return and pay a tax. For this reason it is essential that a database be created, and subsequently maintained, of all taxpayers who are required to file a tax return and/or pay tax. The database will identify taxpayers through the issuance of a unique taxpayer identification number (TIN). A TIN is assigned to a taxpayer in order to track all tax-related activities of a taxpayer. The taxpayer will keep the same TIN for life even if they move to another tax district. This will ensure that the tax history of the taxpayer will remain intact. As such, a database will cover all taxpayers who are required to file a tax return and/or pay tax. As the efficiency of the General Commission for Taxes (GCT) is enhanced through the more widespread use of automation this database of taxpayers will be subsequently broadened to include all individuals who are subject to tax. Two sets of TIN will be issued, one set of 9 digit number for legal entities and another set of 10 digit number for individuals. The Legal Entity TIN is a unique nine-digit identification number to be assigned to:

• Joint-stock or limited liability companies incorporated under the Law on Companies of 1997 as amended in 2004 (Iraq) or other laws where the place of management or control is in Iraq ;

• Partnership (Simple company or Joint Liability company) doing business in Iraq; • Branch of foreign company doing business in Iraq or hiring employees in Iraq; • Non-governmental Organization hiring employees in Iraq; • Governmental Bodies (self-financed units) hiring employees in Iraq; • State-Owned Enterprise hiring employees in Iraq.

A TIN certificate will be issued to all legal entities detailing their name, TIN, address, legal form of taxpayer and type of tax accounts opened.

The Individual TIN is a unique ten-digit identification number to be assigned to:

• Individual who have to file a tax return or pay one of the taxes administered by the GTC. The individual can be a sole proprietor or trader or a “sole owner enterprise” registered as such with the Business Registry at the Ministry of Trade.

• Employee in the private or public sector. • The registered individual can be a non-resident if he/she has to pay taxes or file returns.

An individual tax registration card will be issued to all individuals, either employee or sole proprietors, traders or “sole owner enterprise” registered as such with the Business Registry from the Ministry of Trade. This individual registration card will indicate only permanent information related to an individual: full name, TIN (10 digits), place and date of birth and mother’s name. This

card is a permanent card for the holder. There are no details indicated on the registration card about the type of business operated by an individual, this kind of information will be accessible via computer screens of registration clerks. In order to maintain some basic information regarding a taxpayer, a Legal Entity Registration Form #9902 (attachment 1) and Individual Registration Form (see attachment 2) have been developed. This information will be maintained in the computer system of the GCT. Until all local tax offices are computerized, there will be minor differences in how the registration forms are processed by the computerized offices and by the non-computerized offices. The computerized tax office will enter the registration data into the computer while the non-computerized tax office will send a copy of the application form to HQ for entry into the computer. In the first instance all legal entities currently registered with the GCT were entered into the newly developed registration system and were allocated a TIN automatically. Legal Entities Taxpayers will then be advised their TIN through distribution of their Certificate of Tax Registration. As part of special clean-up program, it will be necessary to send to all legal entities that were allocated a TIN, a legal entity registration modification form #9903 (see attachment 3). Legal Entities will use the legal entity registration modification form to update their personal information in the tax file. As such, the following procedures will apply only to new taxpayers. Computerized Branch Office Registering New Taxpayers:

a) Legal Entities

A new corporate entity must register with the GCT and obtain a TIN. Also, Entities, such as Non-Governmental Organizations, Governmental Bodies (self-financed units), State-Owned Enterprises that are considered as employers should also be registered with the GCT and obtain a TIN. Legal Entities will be issued a TIN certificate. Once a 9 digit TIN is issued, it must be used by the legal entity for all dealings with the GCT.

b) Individuals

Individuals who are sole proprietors, traders or “sole owner enterprise” registered as such with the Business Registry of the Ministry of Trade must be registered with the GCT and obtain a TIN. Other individuals, such as employees in the public or private sector, individuals owning transferring Real Estate, owning vacant land or Real Estate subject to Rental Tax will also be issued a 10 digit TIN. The individual can be a non-resident of Iraq if he/she is an employee working in Iraq or doing business in Iraq. Once a 10 digit number is issued to an individual, the individual will use the same 10 digit TIN during all his life for all dealings with the GCT. In order to help him/her remember their TIN, an individual Tax Registration Card will be issued containing only the permanent information related to him/her. (see attachment 4 for a sample of the card)

c) Registration procedures

All registration of taxpayers will be conducted by the Taxpayer Registration group within the Taxpayer Service Department. The assessor responsible for this task will have access to a computer with the full taxpayer registration database. This procedure is the same for ALL taxpayers. 1. The taxpayer is required to attend the GCT and complete one copy of the Legal Entity

Registration Form #9902 (attachment 1) or Individual Registration Form #9904 (attachment 2).

Page 5: REGISTRATION HANDBOOK TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER …pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADQ055.pdf · TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER . LEGAL ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS . ... a copy of Travel

2. The taxpayer must present other necessary documentation along with the registration form.

a) Legal entity:

Legal Entities should provide a copy of the Ministry of Trade Registration Certificate, regulations of the enterprise, company or partnership foundation contract, Certificate issued by Minister of State for Civil Society Affairs for Non-Governmental Organizations, etc. as required. For the Administrative Director or Managing Director of the Entity, a copy of the Citizenship Certificate along with a Personal Status Card and Individual Tax Registration Card if was issued must be presented for proof of identification.

b) Individuals Individuals should provide the following documents when registering to ensure their correct identification: A copy of the Citizenship Certificate and Personal Status Card for Iraqi citizens. For Palestinian, a copy of Travel document issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs or other Arab countries. For non-Iraqis, a copy of their passport is required as proof of identification. If an individual operates a business as a sole proprietor or trader, he/she must provide a document proving the trade name of the business as authorized by the Federal Iraqi Chamber of Commerce. If an individual operates a business as a “sole owner enterprise” is registered as such with the Business Registry of the Ministry of Trade, the individual must provide a copy of the Registration Certificate issued by the Business Registry of the Ministry of Trade.

3. The registration clerk checks the Registration Form for completeness and accuracy, comparing

this with Ministry of Trade Registration Certificate and other identification documents, etc. 4. If the application and supporting documentation are satisfactory proceed to step 6. 5. If the application and supporting documentation are unsatisfactory the taxpayer must be advised

on action to be taken to resolve the problem. Any incomplete documentation must be provided by the taxpayer – return to step 1.

6. The registration clerk will input the registration form into the computer. 7. Computer will check for duplicate registration. 8. If duplicate registration is indicated by the computer the matter should be resolved with the

taxpayer. If resolution confirms duplicate registration the assessor will merely print a duplicate registration certificate or card and proceed as step 12.

9. If no duplicate registration is indicated the assessor will print a new registration certificate or

individual tax registration card denoting the TIN.

Page 6: REGISTRATION HANDBOOK TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER …pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADQ055.pdf · TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER . LEGAL ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS . ... a copy of Travel

10. The assessor will pass the registration form, supporting documents and TIN certificate or tax registration card (for individuals) to the Head of the Department.

11. The Head of the Department will ensure correct processing of the application, sign and stamp

the TIN certificate or tax registration card (for individuals) and return the package of documents to the assessor.

12. The TIN certificate, or duplicate, will be handed to the taxpayer and the application form and

supporting documents will be retained by the assessor. 13. The package of documents will then be sent to the Archive who will make up the taxpayer file. Registering New Taxpayers at the new Business Registry desk: Since all companies have to be registered with the Business Registry at the Ministry of Trade, an agreement was obtained with this Ministry in order to authorize a team of Tax Commission Officials to open a registration desk within the Business Registry office. The process for registering the taxpayers is the same above mentioned with the exception that, once a week, the team would have to send the package of documents to the Archive. Amending Existing Registration Data: Whenever any of the basic information regarding a taxpayer changes or addition or deletion of a tax account, the taxpayer should complete a legal entity registration modification form #9903 (see attachment 2) or an individual registration modification form #9905 (see attachment 5) showing all the changed data. The assessor responsible for registration should process the application as per a new application above. In this case no new TIN will be allocated but the database will be updated with the new information and a new TIN certificate will be printed and given to the legal entity taxpayer. If the taxpayer is an individual, the individual registration card is not modified since it contains only permanent information on the card. Since the Income Tax Law #113 of 1982 does not require a taxpayer to register or inform the GCT of any changes affecting his original registration form, tax assessors dealing with the taxpayer can verify with the latter if there are amendments to make to the legal entity registration form or individual registration form. If amendments are required, the taxpayer has to fill out the applicable Registration Modification Form. This is particularly true for all the legal entities that were issued automatically with a TIN in the conversion process of taxpayers already registered with the GCT. In this respect, a legal entity modification registration form should be sent to all legal entities for which they were issued a TIN during the conversion process. Removing Taxpayer from a List of Active Taxpayers: Whenever a corporate entity or organization has its business liquidated, it should be removed from the list of active taxpayers. Removing these entities from the active list ensures that the taxpayer will no longer be liable for additional tax after their liquidation. A liquidated taxpayer should submit their liquidation papers to the local branch office. In the case of individuals, a TIN will be considered as inactive only in case of his/her death. Only Branch managers, Director of Corporate Tax Department or Director of Large Taxpayer Unit can approve removal of taxpayers from the list of Active Taxpayers. Before approving such a request, the manager or director must verify with the Collection and Audit department the tax status of the taxpayer to ensure that there is no remaining liability for tax, interest or penalties before de-registration is completed.

Non-Computerized Branch Office In general, processing of applications and amendments will be similar to the procedure described above for the automated offices but any data entry will be transferred to HQ for input. In order to update the computer data stored at headquarters, these tax offices should send the following information to headquarters.

• A copy of new registration applications. • A copy of the amended registration applications. • A list of taxpayers that are to be removed from the list of active taxpayers. The suggested

format of the list is at attachment 6 and bears number 9906. At the local branch office the following procedure will apply: 1. The taxpayer is required to attend the GCT and complete two copies of the Legal Entity

Registration Form #9902 or Individual Registration Form #9904. 2. The taxpayer must present other necessary documentation along with the registration form.

a) Legal entity: Legal Entities should provide a copy of the Ministry of Trade Registration Certificate, regulations of the enterprise, company or partnership foundation contract, Certificate issued by Minister of State for Civil Society Affairs for Non-Governmental Organizations, etc. as required.

Page 8: REGISTRATION HANDBOOK TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER …pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADQ055.pdf · TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER . LEGAL ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS . ... a copy of Travel

5. If the application and supporting documentation are unsatisfactory the taxpayer must be advised on action to be taken to resolve the problem. Any incomplete documentation must be provided by the taxpayer – return to step 1.

6. The assessor will batch the registration form and complete a batch header (see attachment 7). At

the end of each day/week the batch will be forwarded to HQ data entry unit. A duplicate batch header and the second copy of the application form will be retained at the branch office.

7. Applications will be entered into the computer by the data entry unit in HQ. 8. The computer system will check for duplicate and/or invalid registration. 9. If duplicate/invalid registration is indicated by the computer the matter must be resolved with

the taxpayer. The form will be returned to the local branch office that will contact the taxpayer and correct the mistake. Once the registration form is corrected, it should be returned to headquarters.

10. If resolution confirms duplicate registration the data entry clerk will merely print a duplicate

registration certificate or tax registration card (for individuals) and proceed as step 12. 11. If no duplicate registration is indicated the data entry clerk will print a new registration

certificate or tax registration card (for individuals) denoting the TIN. 12. The data entry unit will pass the application form and TIN certificate or tax registration card

(for individuals) to assessor responsible for registration at the local branch office. 13. The assessor will pass the application form, supporting documents and TIN certificate or tax

registration card (for individuals) to the Head of the Department. 14. The Head of the Department will ensure correct processing of the application, sign and stamp

the TIN certificate or tax registration card (for individuals) and return the package of documents to the assessor.

15. The TIN certificate or tax registration card (for individuals), or duplicate, will be handed or sent

to the taxpayer and the application form and supporting documents will be retained by the assessor.

16. The package of documents will then be sent to the Archive who will make up the taxpayer file. Similar procedures will apply for changes to the registration data as notified by the taxpayer and when a taxpayer is removed from the active list. How to fill out the Legal Entity Registration Form #9902: The Legal Entity Registration Form #9902 should be completed as follows: Line 1. Enter full legal name of the business or organization (entity). This should be the name of the entity as reserved or authorized by the competent authority such as the Chamber of Commerce. Line 2.

No number is entered on this line for governmental bodies and non-governmental organization. The Business Registry does not issue a certificate of registration to simple companies but the Business Registry would inform the simple companies of this number by a mean of a letter. Therefore, Simple companies wishing to register with the GCT may be not able to provide the registration number issued by the Business Registry on the form #9902 right away. Tax registration officials can later update this information in the Simple company’s file after receiving it from the Business Registry or from the simple company itself. Line 4.

The Citizenship ID certificate number has two numbers; one is the file number and the other one is the serial number. If the file number has only 5 digits instead of 6 digits, indicate 0 before the five-digit number. Example: file number is 45930, then record 045930. If a citizenship certificate has been lost or destroyed, a new citizenship certificate that has a new serial number will be issued by the Ministry of the Interior. In this case, enter the previous serial number. This is usually handwritten on the new citizenship certificate by an official of the Ministry of Interior. For non-Iraqis, enter 999999 in the file number field and in the serial number field. Where an individual is not a citizen of Iraq, enter 999999 as for file number and 999999 as for serial number.

Enter the 4 digit code of the primary business activity of the entity along with a written description of the activity as indicated in the Business Activity Coding Table published by the United Nations (see attachment 8). For example, an entity operating a hotel should write down 5510 while an entity operating a restaurant should write down 5520. If registered with the Business Registry, this number should be the same used for the business registration without the alphabetical letters. For example, hotel is H5510 for the Business Registry purposes and for taxes purposes, it is 5510. Line 11. Enter the date when the organization or entity started its activities (DD/MM/YYYY).

The taxpayer must enter on line 13 the main reason for which the form is modified, such as: change of address, change of administrative director, accountant or official representative in Iraq, addition or deletion of certain type of tax accounts, addition of branch. The most frequent changes that might occur are related to the address of the business. A new certificate will be printed if changes are made to lines 1 to 4 and lines 9 to 11 of form #9903. If a new certificate is printed, it must be remitted to the taxpayer. In any case, a taxpayer can request to have the latest version of its TIN certificate. It is still important to update the other information required on the legal entity registration form like the starting date or end date of a tax that the taxpayer is subject to or information indicated on line 5 to 7. The clerk responsible for registration should process the application in the same way as a new application mentioned above. In this case no new TIN will be allocated but the database will be updated with the new information and a new certificate will be printed and given to the legal entity taxpayer. How to fill out the Individual Registration Form #9904: The Individual Registration Form #9904 should be completed as follows: Line 1. Enter full name of the individual.

If an individual is not an employee, like a sole proprietor, trader or member of a partnership, tick the Non-employee box. Line 11.1. If an individual is a sole proprietor, trader or “sole-owner enterprise” registered as such by the Business Registry of Ministry of Trade, then, enter on line 11.1 the trade name under which he/she operates accepted by the Federal Iraqi Chamber of Commerce or any other competent authority.

General comments about “sole-owner enterprise” and sole proprietors or traders: Sole Owner Entreprise registered as such by the Business Registry: Type of business entity in which a single founder can participate; Founder can only be an individual; Founder bears unlimited responsibility for liabilities of the entity; Consists of a single share, which is held by the founder; To be designated as such, must be registered with the Business Registry. Necessarily subject to Individual’s Income Tax, maybe subject to other kind of taxes. Sole Proprietor or trader: Individual not registered with the Business Registry of the Ministry of Trade doing business

in Iraq, for example a trader; Necessarily subject to Individual’s Tax, maybe subject to other kind of taxes. Line 11.2. Enter on line 11.2, the 4-digit code of the primary business activity (activity generating most important source of income) of the individual’s business as indicated in the Business Activity Coding Table (see attachment 8). For example, an individual operating a hotel should write down 5510 while an individual operating a restaurant should write down 5520. If registered with the Business Registry of the Ministry of Trade, this number should be the same used for the business registration without the alphabetical letters. Also, write down on this line the title of the primary business activity related to the 4-digit code. Line 11.3. Enter the date when the sole proprietor or trader started his/her activities (dd/mm/yyyy). Line 11.4.

Enter on line 11.6 to 11.8 business address if different than line 8. Line 12. Indicate on line 12 the type of taxes the individual is subject to. For example, an individual operating a hotel as a sole proprietor is subject to Individual’s income tax (Business Tax on the profit), Wage Withholding Tax (withholding taxes from his/her employees’ pays) and the Sales tax (Tax for Deluxe Hotels and first class Restaurants). If a person is only an employee in the private or public sector must, this person must tick only the box “Individual’s Income Tax”. Also, indicate the starting date, for which the individual is subject to the concerned tax, usually this date is the first date of operations. Enter the End date for a particular kind of tax that is no more applicable, for example, if an individual ceases to operate an hotel, then tick the box “Sales Tax” and enter the end date. All individuals will be registered for the Individual’s Income Tax. Individuals can be also registered for other taxes if they are subject to.

Line 13. It is expected in 2006, if an individual was previously eligible to any social welfare benefits, that person might have been issued by the Ministry of Labor & Social Affairs an identification card with a 10-digit identification number.

How to fill out the Individual Registration Modification Form #9905 An Individual Registration Modification Form #9905 (see attachment 5) must be used by an individual in order to notify the GCT of the changes to be made to its registration form. This modification form is designed like the registration form except that the individual must enter its TIN on the modification form, the main reason for the present modification and date of death where the individual is deceased. The taxpayer must enter on line 13 the main reason for which the form is modified, such as: change of address, change of marital status, addition or deletion of certain type of tax accounts, change of main primary business activity code. The most frequent changes that might occur are related to the address of the individual. Since the individual registration card only indicates permanent information related to an individual: full name, TIN (10 digits), place and date of birth and mother’s name, no new individual registration card will be issued to an individual. This card is permanent for the holder. There are no details indicated on the registration card about the type of business operated by an individual, this kind of information will be accessible via computer screens of registration clerks.
