Paying Employee's Contributions
What do you need to do as an employer?
An employer is any person or business or company or organisation providing salary for an employee under a contract of service or apprenticeship.
1. Register as a TAP Employer
From 2017 onwards, once you register your business or company with ROCBN, you would automatically be registered as a TAP Employer.
It is important that you provide your contact number and email address when you register your business or company with ROCBN. You will receive a welcoming letter, Employer Registration Certificate and e-Amanah password.
All you have to do is log on to e-Amanah at
www.tap.com.bn and you can start registering your Employee(s) online.
If you were not automatically registered as a TAP Employer, you may simply register online at
www.tap.com.bn and submit all the required documents together with the signed form via email to
register@tap.com.bn
