Section 3: Tax status and self-certification

To meet international tax reporting requirements (such as CRS and FATCA), we need to confirm your company’s tax residency and classification.

I confirm that the company is solely tax resident in the United Kingdom, with no tax residency or obligations outside the UK (including through any parent or controlling company), and is not based in Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man.

I confirm that the company entity is classified as a Non-financial-entity (NFE) under CRS and is not a Depository Institution, Custodial Institution, Investment Entity, or Specified Insurance Company in any jurisdiction.

Entity Classification under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS)

Based on your confirmation that your company operates in the UK tax jurisdiction only and is not a Financial Institution, you are required under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) to self-certify your entity classification.

To help you understand your entity type, please refer to this guidance. If you are unsure, please consult a tax advisor.

Please tick one box only

Active NFE If your company mainly carries out a trade or business activity (for example, selling goods or services, operating a business, or being a listed or public sector organisation).

Passive NFE If your company mainly holds investments or earns income from assets (such as dividends, interest, rent, or royalties) rather than actively trading.

If you’re unsure, choose what best reflects your income source.
