Confirming your tax residency

All UK banks are required to have their customers self-certify their country or countries of tax residence. We need to know where our customers are a tax resident in order to comply with international tax reporting laws including the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). These laws were introduced to combat offshore tax evasion.

You must be a UK tax resident to open an account with Chase. Customers who are also a tax resident outside of the UK are subject to reporting to HMRC, who share this information with the relevant overseas tax authorities.

Your country of tax residence is generally the country you live in and are liable to pay tax in. Each jurisdiction has its own rules for defining tax residence. You can find further information on tax residence rules for many countries on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (Opens in new tab) website. More information is also available on the GOV.UK website on information exchange (Opens in new tab) and foreign income (Opens in new tab) We are unable to provide tax advice to our customers.

Changing your tax residency

As a bank, we're required to check that the details we have for you are up to date, and collect new information when we need to. If your country of tax residence changes, please complete this tax self certification form. You'll just need to confirm your personal details, add your up-to-date Tax Identification Number (TIN), and your country of tax residency.

Just so you know, if you're a US citizen or resident, we may follow up for more information after receiving your tax self certification form.
