WHAT IS THE PORTAL?When Tax residents are invited to complete a Tax Certification form for a transaction, the Portal is the means by which these tax certifications are submitted by investors; managed by your own organization; by the Registry (Computershare) and by the Tax Agent.

The role of the investor is to complete a blank online submission form and upload supporting documentation.

Your role as the broker is to review that submissions are complete and correct, add further supporting documentation when required, and submit the certification in the Registry and Tax Agent workflow.

The use of a portal system means that there is no need to print, post, complete by hand, scan, or email any certification form.

HOW THE TAX CERTIFICATION PROCESS WORKS FOR BROKERS

OBTAINING THE UNIQUE LINK FOR YOUR INVESTORS

Note: You only need to do this once.

Step One: Login to the Portal.

Step Two: Access and copy your unique link

for your organization’s Participant ID.

Provide this link to all the applicable investors

via your own email systems.

INVESTOR SUBMISSIONS

Each investor uses the link to access a

blank certification form, which displays

your broker logo. They complete the

form, attaching relevant documents as

required, and submit it to you.

YOUR REVIEW

Log in to the portal to see a list of all

submissions in all statuses.

You will be able to see a list of all

certificates submitted for your

participating organization.

For each submission with the

Status “New Submission”, you can

review the information for accuracy,

and upload any of your own supporting

documentation. You then submit to

the Registry (Computershare).

REGISTRY AND TAX AGENT REVIEW

The registry will do a review of the

documentation that you submit, and

in turn the Tax Agent will do a review

of submissions made to them from the

Registry.

You will be able to see the status of the

submissions as they move through this

workflow.

• Adding additional documents

and resubmitting, or -

• Rejecting the submission yourself

and asking the investor to resubmit.

necessary requirements you will set the

status to Rejected. In these cases, you will

need to inform the investor directly and ask

them to make another submission with the

link they already have.

The Registry and the Tax Agent also have the

ability to reject a submission made to them.
