Companies like trade brokers, ISPs, credit card banks and hospitals are asking for my TIN number.
As an individual consumer (non-business), are there benefits to giving them my number?

For ISPs, I can imagine that one day, the amount paid to the ISP will be automatically visible in our e-BE later for tax relief. But still, I don't get why it is needed for this case.
Anyway, it seems to be compulsory:
For credit card banks and other establishments, I don't see the point in giving the number?

They got your name and ic enuf la, they can use default TIN

Semua sudah leak. Apa lagi nak cover?

TIN pun takut diberi

It is not compulsory. If you don't need the e-invoice, then can choose not to give. The real question you should ask is, do you really need that e-invoice?

It is only compulsory for the companies to show they have spent efforts to obtain TIN to issue specific e-invoice to customers. But on the customer's end it is voluntary so it depends on customer own need.

Yes

if not mistaken with IC , they can login to get your TIN but convenient if you provide...
nowadays more companies will start asking for it...those without will have to register with LHDN...

supplier insist i give, even just doing small biz

U just give out your TIN
Let’s say some one purchase something using your TIN , your email that registered with my hasil will get notification

Login the my invois , if it’s not yours just reject the submission
