@Non-US affiliates: need help with CJ.com tax form completion.

3 replies
Their helpdesk help was useless, so I try here. :rolleyes:

I am a Non-US citizen (Netherlands), am I still required to fill in the W-8BEN-form? I must point out that I'm not familiar with US tax forms in any way and so I don't really get what the purpose is of the W-8BEN-form, even after reading it. Would someone mind clarifying? :confused:

Also, as a Non-US citizen am I included in the US tax withholding or not?
Or does filling in the W-8BEN-form give me exemption from US tax withholding?

And last but not least, what is the 'Certification Of No United States Activities'-form? Am I required to sign it?

Do I have to fill out both forms or just one of them?? Please help. This is so confusing.

    Yes, you're required to submit W8 form. I did that online, only my name is taken as signature for their form. Check if this applies to you as well.

    There is also another way of printing W-8BEN form then fill it up and fax to their number.

      Thanks for your reply. To exactly what do I agree when I sign W8? It's still not clear to me. Too much information and I get confused.

      Do you have to pay taxes for both countries (your country and U.S) or am I mistaken? Is that even possible?

      No way I'm paying U.S taxes. :S

      Plus, what about the other form? They have 2 forms for Non-US citizens... do I get to decide which one I get to submit or do I have to submit both of them?

        The W-8BEN is only applicable if you own material (like servers for example) located IN the U.S. and/or have employees for you IN the U.S.
