CDQ Data Quality as Service

There is no CDQ Rule to check the TIN identifier format in Malaysia. Our customer provides us TIN numbers which we cannot validate.

Please implement the REGEX “ ^(?i:IG|SG|OG)(?:\d{9}|\d{10}|\d{11})$|^(?i:[C|D|LL])[A-Z]?\d{10,11}$ “ rule. This accommodates the below TIN formats.

Official Format of TIN Number in Malaysia:

The format of the Tax Identification Number (TIN) in Malaysia varies depending on whether it's for an individual or a non-individual (legal entity).

1. Individuals: (SOURCE)

• Current Format: The current standard format for individual TINs begins with the prefix "IG" followed by 9 to 11 digits.

  • Example: IG123456789 or IG98765432101

• Previous Formats (still potentially in use): Historically, individual TINs might have started with "SG" or "OG" followed by a similar number of digits (typically 9 to 11).

1. Non-Individuals (Legal Entities):

• Non-individual TINs start with a specific alphabetic code that identifies the type of entity, followed by 10 or 11 digits. Some common prefixes include:

  • C: Company (SOURCE)

    • Example: C1234567890 or C98765432101
