Tax forms for publishers
Depending on your country and status, we may ask you for a tax form before we pay you. This page explains the common forms in plain words. We cannot give tax advice, so ask an accountant if you are not sure.
The common forms
W-9. For publishers who are US persons, such as US citizens, US residents and US companies.
W-8BEN. For individuals who are not US persons.
W-8BEN-E. For companies and other entities that are not US persons.
Submit your form
Choose the form that matches your country and status.
Download the blank form from the website of the US Internal Revenue Service, irs.gov.
Fill it in. Use the same legal name as on your publisher account and your bank account.
Sign and date it. A form without a signature is not accepted.
Upload it to your profile. We review it and write to you if something needs to be fixed.
Your payout can be delayed until the form is complete, so submit it before you request your first payout.
Good to know
If your status or your details change, send a new form.
If the law requires us to withhold tax, we deduct it from your payment.
Amounts are exclusive of VAT or similar taxes. We do not add them to commission unless the law requires it.
You are responsible for your own taxes.
