Add Fiscal Representatives
Add fiscal representatives in countries where you are not registered with a local address but need to be registered for tax purposes.
Introduction
You need a fiscal representative if you are legally registered in country/region A, but you have some operations in country/region B that require you to be registered for tax purposes in country/region B. As you are not legally registered (with a local address) in country/region B, you need a representative/agent to represent you towards the tax authorities if they need to contact your business. Furthermore, in some countries this information must be on the invoice.
If you add a fiscal representative, this is associated with a tax registration number that you set up when adding a legal entity. For more information, see Set up Legal Entities.
Add fiscal representatives before setting up a legal entity. This ensures that you can assign your fiscal representative to your legal entity.
