Hey people, Needed some serious help ... I have been now with many affiliate networks like Hydra , Azoogle , Clickbooth etc All of them are US based companies ... they take W8 either via mail or fax or physically mail them I am an international affiliate why do they take W8 for international affiliates .. i mean what do they really do with that yes i understand for US affiliates taxation matter so they take W9 form from them but what about the international ones ... Do they really contact our country for tax related issues or are they just for their file Do they contact our countries taxation dept ... if so why ... as I am not an US citizen , neither do i have any business ( except being affiliate ) with US in any form I really need to know this someone having some experience with this or had any problems with this ever Can anyone give some explanation what they really do ??
They need it to proof to the US tax dept from where the money you cause to them come from(i mean when you promote thier campaigns and get sales/leads for them) , also it`s a proof where the money they will pay to you went(when they pay you for the leads/sales you get). about if they contact your tax dept in your country and report your earning to them,,well ,, this never happened so relax , there is nothing to afraid of.
