Notes

  • The LE Tax Answer is one of the most complex models in the API, as it needs to capture a wide range of tax-related information for different types of legal entities.
  • The structure of the response depends on multiple factors, including whether the entity is US-based, the type of financial or non-financial entity, and the country of domicile.
  • Different entity types require different supporting documentation:
    • US entities typically need to provide W-9 forms
    • Foreign financial institutions typically need to provide W-8BEN-E forms
    • Intermediaries typically need to provide W-8IMY forms
    • All entities subject to CRS reporting need to provide appropriate CRS documentation
  • The FATCA and CRS components can be provided independently, depending on the requirements applicable to the entity.
  • All document IDs must reference documents previously uploaded using the Document Upload API.
  • Tax information is critical for regulatory compliance with international tax reporting standards.
  • The model supports various types of financial institutions, including reporting FFIs, deemed compliant FFIs, exempt beneficial owners, and different types of NFFEs.
  • For CRS purposes, entities need to provide information about their domicile countries and tax identification numbers or reasons for not having them.
  • When using enumeration values for fields like institutionTypeId, foreignFinancialInstitutionTypeId, and leFinancialEntityTypeId, be sure to use the exact enumeration IDs from the relevant lookup API.
  • In most cases, enumeration IDs are likely to be simple numeric values (e.g., "1", "2", "3") rather than descriptive string values.
  • Refer to the Lookup API documentation to get the correct enumeration IDs for all dropdown fields in this model.
