Hello,
I am the primary contact for a small local (as in not national) charity seller on ebay (which has been operating since 2008) and we have just been asked to verify our details, which is fine. However, due to new legislation it is requesting for National Insurance numbers, name, address and date of birth for ALL 10 trustees listed on the Charity Commission.
Looking at information about the UK digital sales reporting they say for Individual sellers they need name, address NI number etc. and for companies they need business name, primary address and Company Registration Number (CRN) for a registered company, Limited Partnership and Limited Liability Partnership.
How does this work for charities? Because we are a company/charity so have a charity number. Is this not enough to verify the account? Do they really need the NI numbers for all 10 trustees and (presumably) me?
