    Hi guys. Regarding the TAX for adsense. I live outside US but host a website in US. The site frequently gets US visitors. I show adsense to these people. Am I required to provide tax information and pay tax for this? I earn less than US$2,000 a year from adsense.

    That's not necessary.

    Do you have a non-host location in the US?
    Do you sell or ship anything to US residents?
    Do you have a US bank account?

    If the answer to all 3 is no then I don't think you have any concerns.

    If maintaining your site doesn't have anything do to with the USA (hosting, workers, etc) then you're fine. Visitors from the USA do not count since they're not contributing to your "business" (site).

    I do not believe that if you purchase hosting from the states, you need to pay taxes on it. It would be up to the hosting company to pay the taxes.
