Obtaining a TIN without permanent address, or outside of the 60 day rule?

[CK1980]

Hi everyone,

 

Hoping someone has some info for me, thanks in advance.

 

Does anyone know what this rule is about registering for a TIN within 60 days of receiving taxable income?

 

I  went over the 180 day stay a couple of months ago so now my yearly earnings are taxable and I need to get a TIN and do a tax return at the end of the year.

 

The problem is that I don't have a permanent residence at the moment, I currently rent monthly at a guest house and the only proof of address I have is a TM47, which is NOT accepted by the tax office as address proof. So basically, I can't get a TIN until I move to a permanent place in the next few months. I assumed this would be ok as long as I get a TIN before the tax return is due, but I keep reading about this rule where you have to obtain the TIN within 60 days of receiving taxable income. 

 

Does anyone have experience of getting a TIN after the 60 days has elapsed? Or with obtaining a TIN without a permanent address? Will they still issue it?

 

The whole thing is a minefield, any info would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Can you get a "Certificate of Residence" from Immigration?  If you have filed a TM-30, they should provide it (though every office varies).
