FAQ
All US formed entities and US operations of foreign entities complete Form W-9. If you hold a permanent work Visa and reside in the US you may also complete a W-9. All others are considered to be non-US persons (also known as nonresident aliens) and will be required to complete a Form W-8.
If your organisation requires our W9 form, you are in the right place. We are registered in Spain, and therefore are a non-US entity. This means that we don't have a W9 form. Instead we use the W-8BEN-E form, which is for non US-entities.
The W-8BEN-E is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mandated form to collect correct Nonresident Alien (NRA) taxpayer information for entities for reporting purposes and to document their status for tax reporting purpose. (The form for individuals is the W-8BEN.)
