What is W8-BEN?

W-8BEN is a form used to confirm you're not a U.S. taxpayer and that we are not required to withhold taxes from your earnings.

For record-keeping purposes, We require a Form W-8BEN for all non-U.S. taxpayers paid by us. .

It is important to note that if you complete the W-8BEN certification, we do NOT:

• Withhold any taxes from your earnings
• Use the Form W-8BEN to report your income to anyone
• Ask for any taxpayer identification numbers on Form W-8BEN
• Require you to fill out a paper form
• Determine, or in any way affect, whether you owe taxes in your own country.
