Hi,
Quick introduction, I'm a Swiss citizen living in Taiwan, and I have an LLC in Delaware. I mainly do digital marketing.
This year, I started working with a US-based online platform to sell my sales tunnels on the US market.
When I signed up with them, they asked me to choose and fill out a form, W8, W8-BEN, W9, etc....
On the advice of the platform's account manager, I filled in a W9.
But I'm not sure if I should have done the W8-BEN instead.
Just in case it makes a difference: I don't collect money directly from customers, the platform does that, and then I transfer the funds.
My questions are:
-In my case, W8-BEN or W9?
-Will I be taxed? If so, by what percentage? Is this percentage based on total sales volume, or only on the benefits part?
Sorry for the long message.
Thanks for your time!
