Hello, I have been trying to contact Commission Junction, but the contact page gives some error. So I post it here. I'm a non US webmaster and in the Commission Junction Payment page says that we can't have any link with USA, even if we use a US based hosting and any of our sites are hosted in USA, we are not going to get paid by Commission Junction. So, how do you guys from outside USA did to receive payments? did you fill any of these?? : _Certification Of No United States Activities. OR _W-8BEN Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding.
If you inside US , you must fill W9 form , outside US , W8 form before you available to received payment with CJ
I checked the W-8 Form, however I'm confused about the part where it says: US Tax Identification Number, if required: ____________ Foreign Tax Identification Number, if any: ____________ Did you fill that part? Also in W-8 instruictions it says that 30% of the income is paid to US gov. So when we are paid 100 dollars, 30 goes for the US gov.? I am still trying to contact CJ support, without success, the online ticket systems gives some error.
No sir, it is only for USA members who do not fill out the W9 form then CJ will withhold the 30% commission if you are a US citizen and reside in USA. But if you are a foreigner and do not reside in USA and have no ties to USA then all you have to do is fill out the W8 form and that should be enough. As far as B]US Tax Identification Number, if required: ____________ Foreign Tax Identification Number, if any: ____________[/B] You do not need to fill those since you are a non usa citizen and member. I hope this helps
I only filled the basic details, name, address, etc. If you are outside the US -- this form isn't for making YOU pay taxes, but rather for CJ, they need a proof that this commission sent to you didn't require US tax cut. Don't worry about it, even if something is incorrect they will let you know.
