Government agencies use tax ID numbers to identify both individuals and businesses when assessing any taxes required by law. Where you live and how your run your business factors into which tax ID numbers you'll need.

• If you represent a business in the United States or European Union, you'll need to provide a federal employer identification number (FEIN) or a value-added tax identification number (VAT.)
• If you run your business individually as a sole proprietorship, you'll need to provide a social security number (SSN) or other tax identification (ex: country ID or passport number.)
• If you live outside of the United States and European Union, you'll need to provide an applicable identification number issued by a government agency. This number should not only uniquely identify you or your business, but it should also be associated with your Audience Network Account.

An invoice shows your monthly earnings over the course of a month. Your account's invoice is generated by our finance team before payment. The account number on this invoice is an internal number for our records.

A remittance statement shows the amount paid by Facebook to your account for your earnings over the course of a month. When our bank initiates the payment to your bank account you will receive a remittance statement around the third week of the month.

You can view your daily reports and payout reports to calculate your current balance by using our payments API. You can download daily reports for the previous 45 days. For details, see Payments Reports.

Payments are transferred to your linked account when you accumulate a minimum of $100 in revenue. If your payment balance is less than $100 for any given payment period, payment will be rolled over to the next payout cycle. Rollover will continue until your payment balance reaches $100.
