Tax identification numbers are normally classed as "secondary", as it requires an already established entity to register for a tax number.
See Ghana (https://github.com/org-id/register/blob/main/lists/gh/gh-tin.json) and Colombia (https://github.com/org-id/register/blob/main/lists/co/co-nit.json), for example.

I'd add a little more to the description about which agency assigns tax numbers, and who to.
i.e. TINs are administered by the Ethiopian Ministry of Revenue. A TIN is assigned to:
- Individual taxpayers (employees, self-employed persons, landlords, etc.)
- Sole proprietors
- Partnerships
- Companies and other legal entities
- Other organizations with tax obligations

I'd specify here that TINs are 10 numeric digits (to help future us know the format to expect, alongside the examples below)

This should be populated with the types of organisation that the list covers. I expect here that it's companies, charities, and trusts (the most common legal entities) - i.e:
"charity",
"company",
"trust"

Thanks @mdpointer - I've added some comments as review, and happy to discuss more tomorrow. I don't know if you've stumbled across this resource yet, but it's what I mentioned should help understand the field definitions: https://org-idguide-handbook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html# |
…ure and type Updated the description of TIN to include additional details about its administration and the types of entities assigned a TIN. Modified structure and listType fields for better categorization.

Sources are patchy.
I could not find a lookup function, but known TINs can be verified.
