Draft for legal review
Purpose
Tax and trading information is collected for administration and contracting where relevant. It is separate from identity or suitability verification.
Information that may be requested
- Legal name and trading name.
- Business address and contact details.
- Company registration number where applicable.
- VAT registration number where applicable.
- Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) where reasonably required for administration or compliance.
- Banking and invoicing information through the appropriate secure process.
Responsibility
Each Expertise Partner remains responsible for their own tax affairs, trading structure, registrations and liabilities. ExEx does not determine a person's tax status merely by accepting a registration.
Employment status
The description of an Expertise Partner as independent does not override applicable law. The actual working arrangements and relevant legal tests determine employment and tax status.
Privacy
Tax identifiers are not public profile information and should be stored with appropriately restricted access. ExEx will not request or display such information merely as a general vetting credential.
Professional advice
Users should obtain their own tax or legal advice where their circumstances require it. ExEx does not provide tax advice unless expressly arranged through an appropriately qualified adviser.
