I've been operating as a sole trader for a couple of years now under a company name registered with the CRO.
Today I was asked for a TAX ID from a multinational client so I could be registered on their books for payment. I gave them my PPS but they say they can't accept that. But that is the only number I've used in connection with my business and revenue. Should I have a separate TAX ID?
I've made it clear to them that I am a sole trader - though I am dealing with one person, and she then is dealing with their internal accounts office, so perhaps something is getting lost in translation.
I didn't mention that to them. Just mentioned it here in case it was pertinent. I've done business with them several times in the past, just not directly.
