As part of efforts to minimise the risk of spreading the novel COVID-19 (corona virus), the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) is accepting applications for the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) Certificates online.
First-time applicants are encouraged to email scanned copies of verification documents to the following email address: filing@gra.gov.gy
Applicants are reminded that they must submit:
- a valid form of identification (ID card or passport) and
- the completed application form
Applicants seeking a name or address change can also scan and email the marriage certificate, deed poll or proof of address and a valid form of identification to the aforementioned email address. A contact number should also be included in case there is an issue that needs to be resolved.
The fillable application form can be found via the Forms Tab on the homepage.
Taxpayers will be advised when processing is complete via email/contact number and prompted to facilitate payment. A reference number will be created for each taxpayer which can be used to expedite payment with Mobile Money Guyana (MMG), Western Union Bill Express and participating online Commercial Banks (Republic Bank, Guyana Bank for Trade & Industry and Demerara Bank).
Subsequent to paying, taxpayers will be notified to uplift their certificates at the GRA or in the interim have a scanned copy emailed to them.
The cost for the certificate are as follows:
- First-time applicants: $1,000
- Reprint: $2,000
- Name or Address Change: FREE
