Provide Identification Documents to Whitefield

This Content Was Last Updated on March 4, 2025 by Jessica Garbett

Identification Documents

This form is to let Whitefield / YogaTax have your Identification Details, and to provide us with some basic risk information.

Anti Money Laundering rules set out by UK Government place a number of obligations on us as a firm, including the requirement to confirm the identification of all of our clients, and to risk assess them, before we provide professional services.

We appreciate that the information requested can seem overly long and intrusive, but we are obliged to work within both the detail and spirit of the rules around Anti Money Laundering and Crime Prevention. If you have opened a bank account, taken a loan, or dealt with a professional like a lawyer recently, you will appreciate these rules apply across a number of sectors and are commonplace.

We need to both identify you, and also understand a little about your income and assets for risk assessment. We've endeavoured to be pragmatic and measured.

You do not have to provide this information, but if you choose not to we cannot act as your accountants.

All information is held securely, and only released to third parties by request for law enforcement purposes.
