Tax information - W8 or W9 Form

[f43b77ce]

our agency is linked with a company registered in USA. The owner of the agency who is also a director in the USA-based company is based in U.K. Payment will be withdrawn in the U.S entity. Please confirm, while updating the tax information, agency owner will file a W8 or W9 form.

Hello Malik,

Thank you so much for reaching out.

You would need to fill in the W9 form in case your agency is required to pay taxes in the US. If you are not sure if you are liable to pay taxes in the US or not, please check with a local tax advisor.

I hope that helps.

Thank you!

So, the W9 form will be submitted on behalf of the entity not the owner of the agency, right?

Since the owner of the agency is a UK resident and the company is registered in the USA. Does Upwork allow us to separately submit the form for individual account (Non U.S)  and the entity (U.S Based Company) where we want to withdraw the payment.

What kind of US entity is it? C-Corporation, S-Corporation, Partnership, single-member LLC? That information might make a difference.
