Dear BIR: I am to purchase some property and would require me to pay CGT and DST. However, i forgot my TIN and currently i am not able to travel to nearest BIR office. I asked my mother to get me copy in BIR kidapawan City but they are asking for a nonsense authorization letter which i found irrelevant. What would BIR loose if they will provide that?
