As the administrator of your client's policy with AXA Insurance dac, AXA - Global Healthcare (EU) Limited must follow the rules of local regulators.
This year, a new requirement has been added by the Portuguese Tax authority, which means we need to collect the Tax Identification Number for customers with a principle country of residence of Portugal.
We'll soon be requesting information from your individual and business clients living in Portugal
We need to gather information for customers who, since January 2021, have been covered by a global health plan from AXA, and have a primary country of residence of Portugal.
To do this, AXA – Global Healthcare (EU) Limited will be reaching out these policyholders by email over the coming weeks.
The lead member will be asked to share the following information as soon as possible:
- Policy holder's full name and customer number
- Tax Identification Number for Portuguese Authorities (referred to as NIF in Portugal)
- Their Portuguese address, including postcode
- The Portuguese territory they live in (for example, Azores, Madeira, or Central Portugal)
There's no action for you to take at this time
Once we have the details, we'll share them with AXA Insurance dac (who insure our plans), who'll then share them with the local Portuguese regulator, as required by law.
This information will be requested on an ongoing basis, so we're working on a quick and easy way for you and your clients to send us the details in the future.
For more information on how we process personal data, please visit our privacy notice.
