The W-8BEN is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mandated form to collect correct Nonresident Alien (NRA) taxpayer information for individuals for reporting purposes and to document their status for tax reporting purposes.
W-8BEN is an IRS form used by individual nonresident aliens (NRA) to report information to withholding agents, payers, or FFIs if they are the beneficial owner of an amount from U.S. sources subject to income tax withholding or the NRA account holder at a foreign financial institution (FFI).
Give Form W-8 BEN to the withholding agent or payer if you are a foreign person and you are the beneficial owner of an amount subject to withholding. Submit Form W-8 BEN when requested by the withholding agent or payer whether or not you are claiming a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding.
Provide Form W-8BEN to the withholding agent or payer before income is paid or credited to you. Failure to provide a Form W-8BEN when requested may lead to withholding at the foreign-person withholding rate of 30% or the backup withholding rate under section 3406.
The W-8BEN establishes that you are a non-US taxpayer who has received US-sourced income. It allows you to claim exemption from the mandatory withholding, which can be up to 30% of interest earned.
