Disclaimer. This page is intended solely to assist you in understanding the regulations you may need to comply with. The information provided here is not exhaustive and may not reflect the most current legal standards. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws. For further guidance, please contact your local tax authorities or consult with a qualified legal or tax professional.
In application of tax regulations, misterb&b may be required to collect your tax information number (TIN). You can find below the list of jurisdictions where this is the case, and some helpful information to find your TIN.
What is a Tax Identification Number?
A tax identification number is a unique set of numbers that is used by the tax administration to identify individuals and businesses. Except in rare cases, all individuals and businesses are typically issued such a number by the country where they have tax obligations.
Why does misterb&b ask for my TIN?
In an increasing number of countries, tax regulations require sharing economy/digital platforms to collect the TIN (Tax Identification Number) of their users and transmit it to the local tax administrations, along with other relevant information such as income generated and listing address. This data sharing is in compliance with local tax laws and aims to help tax administrations track sharing economy income.
To provide your TIN, please go to the "Tax information" page, under "My Account".
I tried to add my TIN, but it was rejected by the misterb&b system.
Our system will only accept a TIN in the valid format for the jurisdiction of issuance. In some jurisdictions, misterb&b also automatically checks the provided TIN against the database maintained by the local administration.
If the number you want to provide as your TIN is rejected by our system, it is likely that you are not providing the correct number. Please double-check. If you believe your TIN is being rejected incorrectly, please contact our Customer Support with the relevant documentation.
What if I don't have a TIN?
In rare cases and in a limited number of countries, you may not have been issued a TIN. Please verify this carefully, as we emphasize that it is highly unlikely. If this is indeed the case, you can indicate that you do not have a TIN by checking the relevant box on the "Tax Information" page of your account. In this case, you will be required to provide the city of your birth instead.
I have multiple listings, do I need to provide multiple TINs?
In the event you have multiple properties, you may have multiple TINs. It is particularly likely where you host in multiple countries. If so, please assign to each listing the relevant TIN - using the dedicated tool on “My Tax Information” (via “My Account”).
European Union (EU)
In application of the DAC7, misterb&b is required to collect the TIN of every Host having a (i) residence, or (ii) property located in the EU. Check our FAQ about DAC7/DPI reporting rules for digital platforms.
To help you locate your TIN on official documentations issued by EU Member States, you may refer to Sheet 3 (“Examples”) that can be downloaded from the official website of the European Commission (button “TIN by subject).
