Certify your tax status


You may be required to certify your account to avoid additional tax withholding. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN is used to certify that you are not a US citizen, not living in the US, and not subject to US tax withholding.


Since your account is based in the US, you need to complete this certification to make sure you are being taxed correctly for your country of residence.
