REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 31-2024 issued on February 27, 2024 advises all employers that the BIR does not require newly-hired employees to verify their TIN and get a TIN Verification slip from the Revenue District Offices.

       All Revenue District Offices (RDOs) shall not accept requests for manual TIN Verification or issue TIN Verification slip for employment purposes, except for the following cases:

1. 1. 1. 1. The online TIN Verification facility is not available or there is a prompt message that the user needs to visit the RDO; or
         2. There is a need for BIR personnel to further verify the correctness of taxpayer registration information; or
         3. The taxpayer has an existing TIN or record; or
         4. Possession of multiple or identical TINs.

       All employers are advised to use the BIR’s Online TIN Verification facility of the Online Registration and Update System (ORUS) accessible at https://orus.bir.qov.ph/search/tinverification or BIR Chatbot Revie, to verify the validity and correct ownership of the TIN of their newly-hired employees. The verification result being displayed by ORUS or Revie is considered sufficient for verification purposes.
