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.
