The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released revised IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding (Individuals)). The IRS has also released revised IRS Instructions for Form W-8BEN .
- establish that such persons are not US persons;
- claim that they are the beneficial owners of the payments; and
- claim income tax treaty benefits, if applicable, for the purpose of chapter 3 of the US Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
- The revised IRS Form W-8BEN modifies, Line 8 to request the date of birth for a beneficial owner who holds a financial account with a US office of a financial institution.
- IRS Form W-8BEN is now used exclusively by individuals.
- Entities should use IRS Form W-8BEN-E, however,
- the new W-8BEN-E is still in draft form.
We believe that you use the old W-8BEN for entities, until the new one (coming out soon) for entities, W'8BEN-E comes out.
