  • EU directive - proof of business entity

    In order to continue being listed as an accommodation provider in the UK on the platforms of well-known Online Travel Agents advertising in EU countries businesses are being asked to prove they are registered as a business entity in the UK. For us, as a partnership which operates below the VAT threshold (and so not VAT registered) the only relevant documentation that is likely to be acceptable included in the list is "HMRC: Account statement". I have spent hours online looking at how to generate one of these and have come to the conclusion that this is not a self-help item for our partnership UTR. Please advise how I can go about getting such a statement or otherwise gain proof of being a partnership registered for tax.
