Below, we try to answer the most frequently asked questions related to the "Your legal information" form:
I tried to fill in the information on the form but I got a red warning. What's wrong?
The fields “First and last name” (in the case of self-employed individuals), “Company name” (in the case of entities), and “Tax identification number” are automatically verified as the user fills out the form. This verification is carried out with the Tax Agency (Spain) in order to confirm that the name and surname or company name matches the tax identification number provided.
Therefore, when filling in these fields, please bear in mind that you must enter the information exactly as it appears in the Tax Agency's records (including commas, full stops, etc.). If the field is not filled in correctly, it will be marked in red and the message “This appears to be incorrect. Please try again” will appear, as shown in the following image:
