Any Portuguese webmaster around? W-8/9 forms - GoFuckYourself.com

EN1GMA · 11-22-2017, 02:06 PM

Hello guys,

Maybe someone can help me.
Anyone familiar with W-9 forms?

Since July 2017, Playboy require his affiliates to send a W-9 form (or W-8BEN in my case) in order to receive payments. I have a pendent payment in there to receive, but I'm afraid to send this form signed. After I send to them, what happens next? Are they going to contact my country finances to pay taxes?

Is there any Portuguese webmaster around familiar with this forms?

Thanks!!

From what I can see, when signing up to the Playboy Plus Webmaster Program, the Tax section states tho following - Tax ID/SSN (Only if in US)

So if your from Portugal no W9 forms are needed.

They require W-8BEN form:

Don't you read the form??? It's all in there, in clear writing, easy to read - try it, you might like it!

A W8-Ben is to show the American Tax Authority, Internal Revenue Services (IRS), why the sponsor are not withholding any taxes for you or anyone else who submits a W8-Ben form.

If the sponsor does not have one of those, they are really required to withhold taxes on all payments sent, since you'd be assumed to be a US tax subject. A W8-Ben is where you declare that you are not a US tax subject and thus can be paid out the full amount with no taxes withheld, since you are responsible for the taxes in your own country.

Any IRS form that you submit to a US business or entity is to be disclosed to the IRS (US Tax office) ONLY.

What the IRS does in communication with foreign goverment tax offices is unknown to me -- that is regulated (or hidden, made *secret*) by US laws.
