Resolution

Various government jurisdictions require that Unity collect this basic information, which includes the country where you reside, whether you are paid as an individual or as a company, and a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) – such as a Social Security Number (SSN) – Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN).

We estimate filling in your tax interview will take you less than 10 minutes, but if you have any doubts, please contact your local tax authority for advice.
