I'm trying to do the tax register and i got the message i already registered. so i called the 1944 and waited for 20 minutes and explained i need to get my TIN number. the girl asked about my NIC, name, address etc and then said they can't give me the TIN number!

she gave me 2 options

1. travel to the IRD head office or metro ( I don't live near colombo or any metro offices)
2. send an email but she said it will take 2 weeks!!

i can't wrap my head around why someone need 2 weeks to send an email!

so now i have to take a leave(since metro offices don't available on saturday) and spend a whole day just to get a number so they can take my money! 😅

life is not same for people live outside Colombo or major city guys 🥲
