CJ withholds 30% of the earnings?

Hi,

I'm new in CJ and I'm from outside USA.

I saw a help that I need to fill a W-8 form and send to CJ and they will hold 30% of my earnings - is that true?

I saw recent reports from foreign advertises (Canada and UK I think) that never sent a Tax form and receive 100% of the earnings.

Any experience with this? Thanks

 

i am from Canada, been with them for 14 months, they never held any funds (tax related)

 

Can you please give me the url for cj. Thanks

 

Ok stupid question never mind!!!

 

thanks for the reply.

Any other from outside USA that do not need or need to pay the 30% tax?

 

Filling the W8 form is just a formality
They should not withhold taxes. This is the case with other affiliate programs.
As regards CJ, same thing should apply

 

I've never heard of such a thing.

They do take 30% of the commission that MERCHANTs pay to affiliates as their monthly serivce fee - nothing to do with taxes. Could you have read that somewhere and gotten confused possibly? That's the only 30% number I can think of.

 

here follows the help about w-8 form:

it tell somethink about hold 30% of the commission, but not sure about what it is?

 

I used CJ for a while a couple years ago and never had any problems with them... I'm from Canada.

 

Does not make sense to me. That implies if you are in the US they withhold 30% which is not true. They are not 'empoyers' and can't withold any taxes. It up to affiliates to pay their own taxes because they are self employed.
