5. Category B — Refer & Win (Referrer Entry)

5.1 Overview

Category B entries are earned by referrers when their referees complete Category A. There is no limit on number of referrals. Each eligible referral is counted as one entry in Category B draw. The more the referrals, the higher odds of getting selected in the draw (statistically).

5.2 Requirements for Referrer

Join AskCrossBorder.tax Facebook Group (Official FB Group). Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2047940099339578
Obtain explicit consent from referee.
Provide unique referral code.
Referee will pre-register via the official form and enter referral code.

5.3 Requirements for Referee

Referees must complete all Category A requirements. Only when a referee completes ALL Category A steps (enters into category A draw) does the referrer earns a Category B entry.

5.4 Referral Code Conditions

Must be entered at time of referee pre-registration. Entering this code is deemed as consent from the referee that he has been referred by the referrer.
Forgotten or incorrect codes are invalid.
Earliest verified code takes priority.
Organizer may verify consent.

Organizer’s timestamp is final

5.5 Family Unit Rule

A household (spouses + children under 18 years) counts as one referral unit, regardless of number of tax returns. For greater clarity, even if multiple returns are needed for multiple jurisdictions or tax situations, that would still be considered as one entry for category A (for filer) and one entry for category B (referrer, if any).
