The foreign-entity route asks for organization details, tax identifiers, FATCA classification, any applicable treaty claim and an authorized signature.
Before you start
Use this route only for the appropriate foreign entity. The signer must be authorized for that entity and have its accurate legal, tax-classification and identification information.
Steps
- Open Tax Information Required from Home. Answer the U.S.-person question using your correct tax status. If you are unsure which form or classification applies, get qualified tax advice before signing.
- In Foreign Tax Information (W-8), choose Business/Organization when that is the correct route, then Continue.
- Enter Legal name of organization, Country where the entity is legally organized, any applicable disregarded-entity name and the correct Type of entity.
- Complete the permanent residence address. Confirm Same as permanent address for mailing or enter the separate mailing Street, optional Suite, City, State/Province, Country and Postal Code.
- On Tax Identification & FATCA, complete the applicable foreign tax ID and GIIN fields and choose the entity’s correct FATCA classification.
- Answer the entity treaty-benefit question. If claiming benefits, complete the applicable Treaty Country, Treaty Article, Withholding Rate, Explanation and Limitation on Benefits fields.
- Read the certifications. The authorized signer enters their name, title, Electronic Signature and Date, confirming only declarations that are accurate for the entity.
- When the form is accurate and you intend to sign it, choose Complete Tax Information. Check Tax Information Submitted, then choose Return home.
What to expect
Check Tax Information Submitted for the entity. The confirmation is separate from later reporting or receipt of year-end documents.
If something does not work
- Entity type, FATCA classification and treaty eligibility are different questions; obtain qualified advice if any classification is uncertain.
- Only a person authorized to sign for the entity should complete the signature step.
- Complete GIIN and classification fields according to the requirements that apply to your business.
- The displayed submission confirmation is separate from later tax reporting or receipt of year-end forms.
- Use only the secure document collection or upload method supplied for this task. Do not attach tax identifiers, identity documents or financial documents to a general support message; ask for the confirmed secure method if it is unclear.
