Help regarding tax in affiliate programs...

[alecsing]

Hello friends,

I am from India. I have signed up to some affiliate networks. They say that they require some W8 Tax form. I don't understand what to do about it.

Also, I am worried because if I don't send tax form and earn money, maybe my payment will not be sent. Does that happen?

Please suggest some networks which don't require tax form.

Thanks

Every network will require your tax info, sorry bud there is no way around your government.

Just fill up the W8 tax form and send it to the affiliate.
If you have any doubts regrading any field, just leave that blank.
Most of them won't pay without a W8

If they say they require a W8 form then send it or you will not get paid. They need it so that they can do their Tax books at the end of each day. Even if some of the networks don't ask you, they will still probably not send your money and then you ask them way and they will say that you have not given a W8 form yet. I think most networks will want you to send one. I find this happens with mainly the CPA networks at the moment.
