Tax Identification Number

Aye, not sure what the difference is between Social Security Number (SSN) and Tax Identification Number (TIN) but I usually get asked for one of them when doing anything financial.
(SSN, of course, you get asked for SO MANY things.)

Surely not here in Ireland, at least I haven't. Don't we just have a PPSN (Personal Public Services Number) and not a Social Security Number .
I'm losing track at this stage.
 
No, not here in Ireland. I’m a dual Irish/US Citizen.
In Ireland I’ve only ever encountered PPS Number.
In the USA (and American matters) I’ve encountered both TIN and SSN but I only have the latter.
(The UK is/was National Insurance Number and Australia is/was Tax File Number.)

These are the only ones I’ve experience of.
The OP refers to “TIN”. I don’t know if they are referring to Ireland, elsewhere, or in general.

The tangents start with the second post.

If I was pedantic about it I could point out that Revenue use “PPS Number”, not “PPSN”.

Roger Casement was hung on a comma, and all that. And after all, in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death (by hanging or otherwise -@Drakon) and taxes.

Thought I’d throw that in for fear of “off topic” suggestions.
