What is my VAT or Tax Identification Number (TIN)?
In the Payment Details section of the Financial Details you are asked to provide us with your tax status, i.e. whether you live and work in the US or not. This helps Echo provide the links to the necessary tax forms. If you do NOT live and work in the US, you should complete the W-8BEN form.
In line 6 of the W-8BEN form you should write in your Tax Identification Number (TIN). Each EU country has its own unique way of defining the TIN number. If you do not know where to find the TIN for your country, please visit:
European Commission: TINs by Country
If there are two TINs for your country, the best solution is to ask the finance team in a message from the Inbox and they should be able to advise you on which number should be used.
Regarding the residency, writing your country of residence (for example “Italy”) in Line 9 is sufficient. You may leave lines 7, 10, and any other you are not sure about, blank. If any required information is missing or incorrect, the ZOO finance team will contact you to request the additional information needed.
