Your continued dealing with FFA Private Bank is your acceptance of the Addendum and amendments to existing Terms of Business Agreement.

We recommend that you seek independent advice from relevant tax authority and/or tax specialists to consider how VAT might apply to you and act according to their advice and guidance.
