💡 Tips for a Smooth Submission:
Where to find it: Your tax number is usually printed directly on your national ID card, passport, driver's license, payslips, or official tax returns.
Type carefully: Do not type spaces, dashes, or hyphens when entering your number. Enter it as one continuous string.
Use Uppercase: If your tax number contains letters, always write them in capital letters (e.g., use `A` instead of `a`).
Why accurate formatting matters: Our system automatically scans your number against your country's official structure. Typing a random or placeholder number (like `123456`) will cause an error, flag your profile, and lead to temporary account restrictions.
