        Having a visit from "tax auditor" by SciSSorS 2006-04-12 08:46:29
is NOT the equivalent of a business that is "going to fold soon".
Of course, if it was a shaky business, and the tax audit shows that they "fixed the books", that's something else, but any normal and well-run business should be able to answer to these auditors.

But it looks very weird, indeed, that your _client_ would need your _personal_ info, instead of (?) you business info.

Normally he hired "a business entity" to provide the services, which are executed by physical persons who are responsible ... the the hired entity (which, in BE, can be represented by the same physical person, but doesn't ever "equal" that person)

I don't think Ca will be much different, but me too: "IANA etc", so you 'll have to check it out.

You say you "trust" them, but they don't give you a good reason to ask you that privacy-related number. Who is phishing behind their back? Can you trust "their accountant" ?
