Hello,

Originally posted this in the wrong forums! oops! :P

I am from the Uk and I'm trying to fill out this overcomplicated W8 form.

Now, I dont have an ITIN and I just want to send off the basic form, and let the IRS (rip-offs) take their 30% tax. I'm an individual, I don't have a company or anything - its just me.

I've filled out the name and address ;)

What other parts of the form do I need to fill out? and what details do I need to put in Parts 2 and 3? I cant get my head around the pointless jargon they use - its worse than filling out a VISA application:

- 9a - 9e would I need to tick any of those? I'm just going for the basic 30% tax deduction.

- And also for 10, do I need to fill anything out on that? The Article? rate of withholding? and income type?

- Finally for section 11, do I need to tick the box? Would I need to provide anything with that?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Omer.

The thread was locked not becuase it was in the wrong forum, but becuase Microsoft dont want people giving advice on how to fill in these forms in the forums. You need to work with a correctly qualified professional if you can't work it out yourself.
