A Tax Identification Number (TIN) is the number your country's tax authority uses to identify you. A TIN, or its equivalent, may have a different name in your country, for example INN (Russia), RNOKPP (Ukraine), PAN (India) or PIN/FIN (Azerbaijan).
If you have a TIN
Enter it when you confirm your details. Make sure you enter the TIN for each country where you're tax resident. Don't enter a UK number unless you're tax resident in the UK.
If you don't have a TIN
You don't need to enter one. When you confirm your details in the app, select the option to say you don't have a TIN and explain, in your own words, why you don't have one.
Only select this option if you have never been issued a TIN. If you have one, you must enter it.
The information you give us must be true and complete. If your details change, for example if you're issued a TIN later, please update them in the app within 30 days of the change.
If you're not sure whether you have a TIN, or whether you need one, please contact your local tax authority or a tax adviser. MarTrust doesn't provide tax advice.
Common questions
Can I use my passport, national ID or seaman's book number instead?
Only if your tax authority uses that number as your TIN. Otherwise, select the option to say you don't have a TIN.
Will this affect my salary?
Not having a TIN won't stop your salary. You can still confirm your details by selecting the option to say you don't have a TIN and telling us why.
You still need to confirm your details within 30 days of being asked. If you don't, your account may be restricted. See What happens if I do not confirm my details in time?
Why do you need my tax details?
We're required by law to collect tax residency information, including your TIN, from our account holders. To find out how we use and share this information, please see our Privacy Policy. You can also read What is "Confirm Your Details".
