On TIN Requirement
RMO 076-2010 requires, for the issuance of the CTE, that cooperatives submit,
among others, an Original Copy of Certification under Oath of the List of
Cooperative Members with their respective TIN and their capital contributions,
prepared by authorized official of the Cooperative.
The above requirement has been relaxed by RMC No. 81-2010 which allowed, in
lieu thereof, the submission of Certified Photocopy of the List of Cooperative
Members with their Respective Capital Contributions.
The concerned RDOs shall not deny or put on hold the processing and issuance
of the CTE solely on the basis of the non-submission of the TIN of the cooperative
members. It is clarified, however, that cooperatives, which have been granted
with CTE under the preceding paragraph, are still required to complete and
submit to the concerned RDO the required TINs of their members within six (6)
months from the issuance of the CTE.
The documentary requirements for the application of TIN have already been
reduced under RMC No. 93-2016 in order to facilitate the issuance of TIN to those
in marginalized sectors, including members of cooperatives. A person who is not
employed or engaged in business or practice of profession, may apply for a TIN
by filing the duly accomplished BIR Form 1904 (Annex "B"), together with a
photocopy of any identification issued by an authorized government body
which shows the name, address and birthdate of the person.
In order to assist its members in securing TIN, the cooperative, with proper
authorization from the members, may apply for the issuance of TIN in behalf of
its members, by collating the duly accomplished BIR Form 1904 of the
members and valid identifications in support thereof, which shall be submitted
to the concerned RDO for the processing and issuance of the TIN.

On Service Cooperatives
The Bureau also issued RMC No. 12-2012 which circularized the instruction of
the CDA to its Regional Directors to refrain from registering the cooperatives (i.e.,
as labor contracting, professional, construction,
mining and other cooperatives similarly created) and conduct
inspection/examination and/or investigation and to verify complaints that the
cooperatives previously
registered were used as tax shield which could be considered as fraudulently
registered, one of the grounds for cancellation and revocation of Certificate of
Registration.
Aside from the service cooperatives, other cooperatives not specifically defined
under the afore-quoted provision may also be registered as determined by the
CDA. Moreover, RA 9520 expressly provides that any doubt in
the interpretation and construction of said law should be resolved liberally in
favor of the cooperatives, thus:
Accordingly, service cooperatives that fully comply with the guidelines of the CDA
may be given tax exemption certificates provided that they also submit the
documents required by the BIR under Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No.
76-2010 (Prescribing the Policies and Guidelines in the Issuance of Certificate
of Tax Exemption of Cooperatives and the Monitoring Thereof) dated September
27, 2010.
