Common questions

Why am I being asked this?

Under the OECD's updated Common Reporting Standard (CRS 2.0), financial institutions must collect more detailed tax residency information and report it to HMRC, which shares it with other tax authorities to help combat tax evasion.

What does "tax resident" mean?

You are tax resident in a country if that country treats you as liable to tax there, usually based on where you live or spend time. The rules differ by country, and you can be resident in more than one. For example, US citizens and green card holders are generally treated as US tax resident.

What is a Tax Identification Number (TIN)?

It's the number a country uses to identify you for tax. In the UK, your National Insurance number is your TIN. If you're also tax resident elsewhere, we'll need the TIN for each country, or a reason if one isn't available.

What if I'm resident in more than one country?

Tick the box in the form to say you're tax resident outside the UK, then add each country and its TIN. If a country doesn't issue a TIN, or you can't obtain one, choose the reason from the list.

What if my circumstances change?

The declaration asks you to tell us if your tax residency or any of these details change. Please contact us promptly if that happens.
