This guide will explain why we ask you to provide your National Insurance (NI) Number.
Why your NI number is required
We’re required to collect your NI number in order to comply with HMRC’s digital reporting requirements.
What are the digital reporting requirements?
In September 2025 HMRC introduced new rules for digital reporting for online platforms.
These new regulations are designed to confirm your identity and ensures accurate tax reporting under UK law.
The full regulations can be read at the gov.uk website.
