Your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is a personal and permanent identifier assigned by the tax authority in Your country. In Germany, for example, it is issued by the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern. You can usually find it on:
- The official letter from the tax office (top right corner),
- Your income tax certificate,
- Or Your tax assessment notice (usually marked as "IdNr.").
If You cannot find Your tax ID, You can request it again from Your local tax authority. Keep in mind that this process may take several weeks.
Why do We need Your tax ID?
Due to legal requirements, We are obligated to verify the tax ID of any EU-based individuals We work with. If We do not receive a valid tax ID, We cannot enable payouts from Your account.
