One person can hold only one permanent account number. If you have been allotted two, the extra one has to be surrendered to your jurisdictional tax officer. We keep the number linked to your national identity number and used for your returns, and write to your officer to cancel the other. Our fee includes any government fee.
The income tax law lets a person hold one permanent account number only. Someone who already has a number cannot apply for or keep another. Two numbers usually come from applying again by mistake, after a name change or a move, or when an agent or employer applied without checking.
