# Adding an Additional Tax Profile
{% hint style="danger" %}
Unfortunately, payouts to an account in a country where you are neither a citizen nor a resident are only possible if you have a valid legal basis for receiving the relevant income in that jurisdiction. Such a basis may include, for example, a residence permit, registration as a sole proprietor or an equivalent status, a local tax identification number, or another basis recognized under applicable local law.
Where necessary, Kleos may request documents or information confirming that such a legal basis exists. By providing these documents or information, you confirm that the information submitted is accurate, current, and compliant with applicable legal requirements.
Please note that Kleos does not provide legal or tax advice and cannot assess your individual tax obligations in the relevant jurisdiction.
You remain responsible for ensuring that you have a lawful basis for receiving the funds, declaring the income received, and paying any applicable taxes, fees, or other mandatory charges, except where the relevant obligation is expressly imposed on Kleos by applicable law.
As part of its compliance procedures, Kleos may also request additional documents or information where necessary.
Until the required documents and information have been provided, Kleos may need to suspend payouts to an account in another jurisdiction. If the relevant legal basis cannot be verified, Kleos may decline to process such a payout.

If you are legally eligible to receive and report contractor income in more than one country, you can add multiple tax profiles to your Kleos account.
This eligibility may be based on an active registration as an individual entrepreneur, sole proprietor, self-employed individual or another tax or business status that allows you to legally conduct business and receive income in the relevant jurisdiction. Citizenship, a residence permit or tax residency may also be considered if accompanied by the registrations required under local law.
You must create a separate tax profile for each country and provide the corresponding registration, tax and payment details. When receiving a payout, you will be able to select the tax profile through which the payout should be processed.
{% hint style="info" %}
Example: you are a citizen of Kazakhstan and are registered there as an individual entrepreneur. At the same time, you also have an active individual entrepreneur status in Georgia. In this case, you can create two tax profiles in Kleos, one for Kazakhstan and one for Georgia and select the appropriate profile for each payout.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
Only add a tax profile if you have a legal basis to receive and report income in the selected country. You must use only your own personal information and payment methods registered in your name. Payments involving third-party details or payment methods will be rejected.
