Mopub asking for form W8-BEN for tax and withholding payments.

I got an email saying I won’t be paid unit I file this form, problem is I don’t know much about these tax rules and I might end up paying tax in US and in my country as well. Can anybody help me here in this regard? Anyone else also got the notice from mopub?

I don’t work with Mopub but I completed similar form before I got my first payment from AirPush. I didn’t payed any fees, so I don’t think you have to worry about, just complete it and I guess everything will be fine :slight_smile:

p.s. but still wait for other opinions :slight_smile:

If your country has an agreement with USA about avoiding double taxation you will be fine.

Thanks guys. Problem solved. Topic can be closed.

Hello,

MoPub is also requesting me to fill a W-8BEN form. I’m confused about the Part I - Field 6 (U.S. taxpayer identification number). As an individual (not an organisation or corporation), do I need to get a U.S. taxpayer identification number?

Thanks.

Isnt there a button saying like “Im not a US citizen” and then press to continue. Select the country you are from in the details.

They sent me a simple PDF document, not an online form.

the W8-BEN is for foreign taxing. With that form you declare, that you are not an US citzen and therefore are not taxed in the US … amazon does the same, but they do it more abstract. If you do not file that information they deduct the US tax from your earnings (was it 30%?) … if you give the information (means you are giving information to IRS where you are regulary taxed).

It’s more complex than that and I am not exactly sure if I tell the truth, but that is what I thought it is - haha
