Hey tricounters,
In agreement with other countries and to prevent fraud and tax evasion, the Dutch government shares citizens' tax information based on the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). Upon your Free Credit Card signup, you should provide us with your Tax Identification Number with the new tricount app.
Why should I provide my Tax Identification Number (TIN)?
We’re legally required to ask new users where they are a tax resident and to provide us with their corresponding tax numbers (check here for more info). This applies to tricounters from all countries.
Your tax residency doesn't always depend on the country where you live. You can be tax liable in more than one country. For instance, if you are a US citizen, you will have to report income tax to the IRS even when living abroad.
* Important note: If you were born in the US, keep in mind that our relevant team will ask you to also provide your SSN number. This is due to the same legal reasons we ask you for your TIN 🙌
When should I provide my Tax Identification Number (TIN)?
To get started with your Free Credit Card, we'll need your Tax Identification Number. If you have more than one, make sure to provide all of them during the signup process.
Where can I find my Tax Identification Number (TIN)?
