I am from Egypt, and I am lost as to what to do seeing that I might pay up to 30% of my royalties. Can you please advise me what to do?

Hi Dave… Thank you for this wonderful article. A friend of mine said that his EIN was rejected when he wanted to use it for the W-8BEN form. That it has to be an ITIN or SSN. Do you know if there is a new development like this? If there is, what are the alternatives, please?

In reply to Kaisa. If they are from the UK, then they should have 0 withholding. If not, then they need to do the process in the article so as to get it to 0%

This was very informative, Dave!

Can you clarify how to read the list of countries you’ve added? E.g. looks like the UK has a 0 % withholding rate. Does it mean someone self publishing through KDP in the UK does NOT have to go through this process of trying to reduce the withholding rate (since it’s 0% already)? Or am I misreading the chart?

Thanks!

In reply to Martin. No, not exactly. You'd still need to link them together so they sell on the same page.

Hey Dave,
Great content. Quick question referring the ACX Account. Shouldn’t it be better to open that account with the same email address we are using on our KDP account.? The reason I’m asking is imagine if I make an Audio version of one of my books. would not it be plagiarism to Amazon`s eyes since I’m using a different entity even though I’m the same person? Thanks
