I did not mean to actually get one, rather just make a scan of one.

It's checked online, you do not get a paper. If you have a UK Ltd, and sales below GBP85,000 you do not have to have a VAT number instead you can ask for a UTR number (unique tax referrence).

2checkout is a US based business, so in order to follow join their business based on what you have stated above, you need to phone IRS.gov US to create a EIN/TIN as a sole proprietor.

Yes they will also ship it to your UK address. I recommend opening your Skype account load that account $10, and call them.

I know IRS have changed their policy, so you might have to sign a document and fax it to them. In that case I recommend signing up with a virtual fax machine service you can find online, they will give you a personalised number to send and receive.

To speed up the process you will get it a lot faster if you give them a returning fax number, but this could take from 3weeks to 4weeks depending on their backlog.

If this is too much work, there are services that charge$75-$150 to get that for you less than a couple days. Just google baby.

You have many options.

NO NO NO - try to click on SIGNUP and you will find a list of countries supported there!

I hear you saying NO NO NO, but based on the ops message it seems he has already passed that SIGNUP section because they are asking him for an EIN.

they ask for UK tax identification number.

How can you live in UK without a tax ID number? Doesn't everyone need one for a job etc?
