FXTM is a licensed and regulated financial institution. As such, we’re legally obliged to inform the Mauritius tax authorities of the countries in which you are considered a tax resident. The Mauritius government cooperates with other countries to counter tax evasion and therefore requests this information from financial institutions.

As the name suggests, a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is typically issued taxpayers in the following categories:

• Individuals, both employed and self-employed

• Organisations, companies, and business entities.

Your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is a unique identification, used for tax purposes locally and globally, which is issued and provided by your national tax authority.

Depending on where you’re a tax resident, your TIN may be another form of unique identification, called a functional equivalent.

For individuals, functional equivalents of a TIN can include:

• Hong Kong - Hong Kong Identity Card (HKID) number
• Pakistan - Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC)
• Guernsey - Social Security number
• United Kingdom - National Insurance Number (NINO) or the Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR).

For entities, functional equivalent TIN types include:

• India - Permanent Account Number (PAN)
• Hong Kong - Business Registration Number.

The above examples aren’t exhaustive, and don’t constitute tax advice. If you need help to determine your TIN, seek professional tax or legal advice.

Generally, the national tax authority will issue a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and usually when the individual, business or entity becomes subject to tax in the country.

There are exceptions and some countries will:

• Issue a TIN upon birth
• Not issue a TIN in any situation
• Issue a TIN only in specific cases or for certain individuals or entities
• Issue a different unique identification number, such as a national or permanent identification number, which can be used as an equivalent level of identification and a functional equivalent

A Taxpayer Identification Number (shortened to TIN) is an identification number that individuals and entities use internationally for tax purposes. It's like a unique ID for global taxes. The way TINs are issued, structured, used, and validated varies between countries. Each country has its own specific TIN structure or format with a combination of numbers, characters, or both. In some countries, different categories of individuals may even have different TIN structures. No two people or entities will ever have the same TIN, so it’s an ideal way to make sure everyone has their own distinct identifier for tax matters.
