Commission Junction Tax Question

by Rainer
3 replies
Sigh... it's never a straight line from A to B.

I'm signing up for CJ and I've run into a hiccup with the tax info that's required on your account.

As a Canadian citizen, what form should I fill out in order to get paid by CJ?



Non-US persons Thanks.

Rainer

    I would think it would be the W-8BEN, but I do not know for sure. The other one would seem to be used if you are outside the U.S. and promoting vendors outside the U.S.

    Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

      I was thinking that one myself, Dan, but not sure.

      I wonder what other Canadians on this forum are doing. I'm sure thare must be some in the same situation.

    Hi Rainer, I wonder if you ever found out the answer to this? I'm looking through tax forms on CJ site now and cannot decide myself. I am hosting my site physically in US, so that probably rules out the 1st form (Certification Of No United States Activities). Now, when I'm reading the W-8BEN form it says on the top that "A person claiming that income is effectively connected with the conduct
    of a trade or business in the United States" should fill other form - W-8ECI.

    What's the right way to submit tax info to CJ if I'm a Canadian resident?
