G'day,
This US tax stuff is kinda confusing. So before this probably gets locked I have just have 2 quick questions.
1) If I send these ITIN and tax queries to
Creators@microsoft.com, will they also tell me to buzz off? (liablity and all that. Fair enough)
2) Do I just need an ITIN by itelf? Or is there other stuff to be done?
And the bonus question:
3) Is there a really informative place I can find out this legal/tax stuff regarding Australia in particular? Our accountant did'nt have a clue.
-----------------------------
Questions I do not expect answered, but would like:
1) Which w8 form is used by most buisnesses? We are part of a partnership trading under 2.0 studios.
2) Is the process:
a) W7 -> Get ITIN
b) Get MS letter, fill it in
c) Get W8 form, fill it in
d) Get copy of passport Authenticated
e) Send the last 3 into microsoft
f) Receive confirmation.
EDIT:
We have
NOT filled in any w8 form. But we
have been payed by microsoft. All forum posts, and faq's state we MUST fill in a w8. Is this a new change to the system, or is there something else going on?
