A W-8 form allows you to self-certify that you are not a US citizen or US resident, and that you do not have a separate US legal entity for your business. The platforms you work with may need to collect a W-8/W-9 tax form to confirm your tax residency for 1099 reporting purposes. Please see this IRS webpage for more details.

We strongly recommend confirming your choice with your tax or legal advisor before finalising your decision.

This article is neither legal advice nor tax advice. We recommend that you speak to your tax advisor if you have any questions or concerns related to tax reporting.
