This is an updated guide for URA TIN number registration for companies in Uganda. The same procedure works for all non-individual applicants including Partnerships, Diplomatic & International Organisations, Local Authorities, Estates & Trusts, NGOs, Clubs, Society, Association, and corporations Sole.
For individual URA TIN number applicants, check out this URA Instant TIN procedure.
Whether you are a company, NGO, club, society, association, and corporation, you need to register and obtain a taxpayer identification number with Uganda’s revenue authority. The TIN is mandatory in order to transact with URA for example when filling returns, paying for value-added taxes, clearing goods and services, etc.
URA has made the process of applying for and obtaining a TIN Number in Uganda very easy. Requiring a computer, tablet, or smartphone with access to the internet, anyone is ready to apply for a TIN and have it issued within a few minutes.
In this tutorial, you will be exposed to every detail about acquiring a new NON-Individual TIN Number in Uganda right from where to go and how to get the TIN. But before we get to the point, let’s take a look at the TIN and why you need it.
What is TIN?
In Uganda, a TIN is a unique 10-digit number that URA issues to individuals and non-individuals for tax purposes. Such taxes include but are not limited to motor vehicle registration taxes, Import and Export taxes, Income tax, Value Added Taxes (VAT), Company Taxes, Operational Taxes, and many others. 1000101000 is an example of the new Uganda TIN which replaced the old P-000-10000-011 series tax IDs.
Requirements for NON-Individual TIN Number
- A Business Registration Number (BRN) – Mandatory in Uganda
Incorporated/registered entities - A valid email address
- An authorized contact person (an individual)
- Directors’ TIN numbers and IDs

Note: You can use the same option as an individual TIN applicant just in case you can complete the registration using the instant TIN option.
URA TIN Number Registration Using Excel Form (DT-1001 and DT-1002)
In case you are unable to obtain an instant TIN for individuals, or online TIN for Non-Individuals as shared above, you can use the old way of registering for the TIN using excel forms. And since everything begins online, having an active internet connection is mandatory in addition to having MS Office with Excel installed on your computer and Macros enabled
1. Visit the URA web portal, scroll down to “download online forms” and click eForm DT-1001 for individual or DT-1002 for non-individual and save the download on your computer e.g Desktop. This is available under forms & templates for E-Registration.
2. Using MS EXCEL, open the downloaded file DT-1001 or DT-1002and enable Macros. Fill in the entire form with the correct details from start to end. Read how to enable Macros in MS excel here.
3. Click validate so the system can automatically check if your application form is free from errors. When no errors are found, click generate the upload file and save it to the location of your choice – usually the same folder where the downloaded form was saved.
Uploading TIN application form on URA Portal
1. Visit the URA portal, click eServices, and again on individual registration for individuals, Non-individual registration for companies, and or Group Registration.
2. From the drop-down list, select the new form and browse the generated upload file. Enter the application name, and given letters, and agree to the terms. Click upload and wait for the acknowledgment number.
Well done! Once you successfully upload your TIN application on the Uganda revenue authority web portal, you will be emailed with the submitted forms which you can print either immediately after uploading the files or print using the print submitted forms feature on the portal.
The online printed forms must be submitted to the nearest URA branch office or to the exact location where your application will be processed depending on the Reference number eg, for example, Kampala South (located at Old Kampala Mosque), BW-Kampala North (located in Bwaise Mulago Kalerwe Round-about), NA-Nakawa (located towards MUBS), CR-Central offices (located at crested towers) and many other points.
Summing up
- Visit the URA portal and Download Online Forms DT-1001 or DT-1002
- Open the downloaded file and Enable Macros on Excel
- Fill the form and Validate to see if no errors and then Generate an upload file
- Upload the upload file on the web portal under eServices on Individual registration.
- Submit your forms and print the soft copy
Note: Depending on the documents you selected during form filling, for example, your ID’s and any other, you should submit the printed hard copies along with those attachments since failure might lead to your tin number application form being rejected.
And once you are verified, you will be issued a New Tin Number and you will be able to pay your taxes easily. Call or Whatsapp me 0752009001 for private express help.

You can’t make a print out of the TIN. Let me assume you are referring to the TIN certificate right? All you need is simple. Visit any URA branch office near you and they will print you the TIN certificate. And don’t forget to reset your TIN password for ease of access just in case you need to.

What involved in registration like requirements. is it my adress.
In order to qualify for a URA TIN, you should provide 2 photocopies (different) of your IDs, your fathers names and mothers names, your address, your email address and phone number.
Thank you for the service you render to us, now what are the steps which i can follow to register as taxpayer manually.
The manual way is to have the online one done just like its indicated in the article above.
Thank you. I am [email protected] and my TIN is in process. How do I get it?
Just go to any URA office with your documents and ask it. If they are approved, you will get the certification.
My brother went to URA nakawa Headquarters and some URA employee told him to pay 20,000 so that he gets for him a tin number, is that proper or thats is corruption and why can’t the employer help the employees to get those tin numbers becuase most of the employees find it difficult to get a tin number most especially those who are computer illitrates and others dont have access to computers and internet yet some employers have made it a requirement
Your brother might have seen the wrong person. The TIN number is free of charge. If your brother had all the documents, I mean having followed all the steps above, he would have been given a TIN once the documents were approved. It may be that he talked with those Conmen who reside there in the name of helping and or, your brother had not done any step but rather wanted the help of a URA staff.

A TIN number is free. Unless you use a third party service provider like a tax agent who may charge you for work done.

I have no clue on that. May be the fee is for helping in transport and processing. If you cant do that, then process your own TIN by following the procedures above and hand them to the admin of the school. But its time consuming and involves traveling to URA offices and internet usage.
I applied for a Tin number last week but I haven’t received any message concerning my Tin number and yet I submitted in all the relevant physical documents.
Sometimes it takes time before a TIN is approved. Keep waiting and checking your email for either an approval or rejection notice.

That is a kind of information which can be gotten from URA directly. Thanks for the comment.

A TIN number is free and there are no costs associated. Unless you use a tax agent, you won’t be required to pay a shilling!
hello,
what is the difference between non individual and individual?

Hi. I have been trying to submit TIN application forms online but there is no response either on the URA portal or in my email whether the process is successful or not. If you are to reply to my email, how long does it take?
Have you contacted the URA using their hotline? How about following the right procedures?
I have a staff of 17 teachers who are applying for TIN. Can they all use one person as a referee?
I guess yes, all your employees can use one referee since the different applications are handled by different personnel. However, it will be a good idea if you call up URA and find out. They got a toll free number.
I have failed to upload coz they keep saying that i upload the wrong one . What do i do
Try to repeat the whole procedure and retry uploading. Sometimes its a glitch in the system. If you fail, contact a tax agent for help and or use our contact us page to send an inquiry.

Follow the above directions! Thanks for the comment.
Am Nashimolo andrew
i submitted my details to URA MBALE but its 3months now and i have never got a TIN
Every time i go to the office
nobody is concerned
can i get my TIN via the e mail i submitted?
While all new processed TIN owners are notified through email of their TIN, there is no way you can apply for it through email. Since you submitted your forms already, you need to remind them as they are the ones to process them. Alternatively, you can try to re-apply using the instructions on the page..
How long does one take to recieve an individual TIN number after registration???
Once your papers have been approved which may take a day or even a week, your TIN is approved instantly. You can call the URA Toll free number for details or send us an email using our contact us page.
I am completing the forms but I DON’T have a referee. How can I be assisted?
A referee is mandatory. If you don’t have one who has an active TIN number already, then you can will need a TAX agent to help you. Use our contact us page and send an inquiry about that.
i already have aTIN number, got my original certificate and lost it. however i would like to print for myself another copy of the certificate using my computer and printer without having to go back to URA. Is it possible and how do i do it and how do it?
also if i have my tin number written somewhere how do i verify if its correct and belongs to mi without having to go back to URA?
For the certificate, you need to go to URA branch and request for another copy.
And to verify the TIN, visit URA website and try to create an account. You will be prompted with a success or failure which yiu will use to tell your TIN legality.

Hi,
do you know if there is a public database containing all TIN in Uganda? I’m looking for a way to uniquely identify companies in Uganda.
Thank you.
Inquiring from URA would be the best choice.
