How to Complete W-8BEN-E Form for Business Entities

In this tutorial, you will learn How to Complete the W-8BEN-E Form for Business Entities. In a previous tutorial, I showed you how to complete the W-8BEN form manually from a general perspective. This form is a United States legal tax form from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) which is also referred to as the “Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding”.

If you are an individual, you should complete the W-8BEN form; and if you are a business entity, you should complete the W-8BEN-E form. Essentially, the W-8BEN form is required to be completed by foreign nationals or non-US residents and submitted to companies or individuals through whom you earn US-based income.

Whereas, the W-8GEN-E form is for Business Entities like corporations and partnership. The W-8BEN-E form is a little more complex and has 8 pages. In this tutorial, I walk you through the process step-by-step. There are many scenarios when completing the W-8BEN-E form.

In this video, I cover one of the most common scenarios, which is for a corporation. The purpose of completing the W-8BEN-E form is so that individuals or companies, in the US, from whom you earn income from, will not withhold tax from you. This will allow you to avoid double taxation, if your country has a tax treaty with the US.

You don’t need to send this to the IRS you only need to provide it to the individual or company (in the US) from whom you are receiving income. Below, you will also find links to tutorials on How to Complete the W-8BEN form for individuals and sole proprietorships.
