Privacy Act Notice
Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to
report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured property,
cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA or Archer MSA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify
the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to
cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws. We may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty,
or to Federal and state agencies to enforce Federal nontax criminal laws and to combat terrorism.
You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend,
and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

Zastrzeżenie zgodnie z Ustawą o ochronie informacji osobowych (Privacy Act)
Przepis Section 6109 amerykańskiego kodeksu podatkowego (Internal Revenue Code) nakazuje podawanie
prawidłowego numeru TIN osobom, na których ciąży obowiązek składania zeznań podatkowych do
amerykańskich organów podatkowych (IRS) w celu dostarczania informacji o odsetkach, dywidendach oraz
innych dochodach wypłacanych podatnikom, zapłaconych przez podatników odsetkach od kredytów hipotecznych,
nabywanym lub zbywanym przez podatników majątku będącym przedmiotem zabezpieczenia, anulowanym
zadłużeniu, składkach wpłaconych przez podatników na indywidualne konta emerytalne (IRA) lub konta opieki
zdrowotnej Archer MSA. Służby IRS posługują się numerami dla potrzeb identyfikacji oraz ułatwienia weryfikacji
zeznań podatkowych. IRS może również udzielić takich informacji Departamentowi Sprawiedliwości dla celów
cywilnych i karnych postępowań sądowych oraz władzom lokalnym, stanowym i Dystryktowi Kolumbia do celów
wykonywania ich przepisów podatkowych. Możemy także udostępnić takie informacje innym państwom na
podstawie traktatów o unikaniu podwójnego opodatkowania lub organom federalnym oraz stanowym dla potrzeb
egzekwowania innych niż karno-skarbowe federalnych przepisów karnych oraz zwalczania terroryzmu.
Obowiązek podania przez daną osobę jej numeru TIN zachodzi niezależnie od tego czy podlega ona
obowiązkowi składania zeznania podatkowego. Na ogół płatnicy obowiązani są potrącać 28% podlegających
opodatkowaniu odsetek, dywidendy oraz pewnych innych kwot wypłacanych na rzecz osób, które nie podały
płatnikowi swojego numeru TIN. Określone przepisy o podleganiu odpowiedzialności mogą również mieć
zastosowanie w tym przypadku.
