What gets reported for a business, and is our data safe?

What we report. Once a year we may send details to HM Revenue & Customs (UK accounts) or Skattestyrelsen (Danish accounts). A company can be reported because it is tax resident in a country covered by the rules, or because people who control it are (see below). The details usually include the company's name, address, tax residency, tax number, account number and year-end balance.

If we asked for details of controlling people (see Whose tax details do you need?), we may also report each person who is tax resident in a covered country: their name, address, date of birth, tax residency and tax number.

Listed companies and government bodies are not reported.

Your data. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. Only authorised compliance staff can see it, and we share it only with tax authorities when the law requires it. See our privacy policy.

Your taxes. This is a reporting requirement only. It doesn't create a new tax or change what your company owes.
