Information shared with HMRC

If we’ve written to ask you for more information about yourself and/or your account, this is because:

We don’t have enough information about you and/or your account
We can’t determine your tax or US citizenship status

Or:

We think you might be a non-UK tax resident
Information that we hold for you, such as an overseas correspondence address, indicates that you could be a non-UK tax resident, or a US citizen, for the accounts you hold with us, but we want to be sure.

If we ask you to confirm your tax residence status, you must complete and return the Tax Status Confirmation form we enclosed with the letter we sent you. If you don’t respond we will share the account information we have with HMRC, based on the information we currently hold.

It's your responsibility to give us accurate details.

Your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is allocated automatically by HMRC to anyone who has to submit a tax return in the UK.
 

If you're a tax resident of another country in the European Union and not sure where to find your TIN, this table shows the format of these numbers and which documents show them.
