TINs differ on a country-to-country basis, and there is no universal TIN at EU level.<\/p> <p>TIN specifications (structure, syntax, etc.) are set by each individual national authority.

While with your TIN someone may try to gain access to your personal tax account online to find your bank account information, they will be unable to do so with just your TIN, they will also need your password. While this may be the case, it is still best to keep your TIN safe and secure.<\/p> <p>In the case that your TIN has been accessed, remain vigilant to never share your password.
