We aren't able to tell you which form to fill out or advise you on how to fill it out. For that, you may need to contact a local tax advisor.

I can say that you do need to fill out a tax form, if you do not your payments will be subject to the maximum tax withholding rate of 28%.

Kind regards,

Mat Hayward

Hi All,

I have just completed the form, I used my UK national insurance number as my foreign tax number, is that correct? Or do I need to apply for a US specific tax number? The documentation is not very clear. Thanks

    yes you almost definitely should if you are resident in the UK and pay tax in the UK. 

    If you do, it will probably demonstrate that you do not have to also pay tax in the USA. Otherwise, as the man said, you'll have to pay 28% on your Adobe Stock income.

    If you don't fill out a tax form, all sales will be subject to the maximum tax withholding amount.

    Why Adobe deduct the taxes on all my sales ?

    should be only applicable on US sales as other agencies do !

    I do apologize, so, this mean that if I sell photo which cost 0.25$, I will get 0.18$ because 0.07 is going to IRS? Im new here and its little bit confusing.  And one more thing, I am going to fill out the tax form, but I am not paying any taxes here at home, because i do not own any house, car...etc. Maybe is stupid question, but i had to ask. THanks for ur reply! Best regards.

      It's not owning a house or car that makes you liable for tax in the UK slobodank, it's your income. In any case, whether you pay tax in the UK has nothing to do with whether you pay tax in the US if you are British. Even if you don't pay tax in the UK, you should have a tax reference number. You will need this number to complete the W8-BEN form.

      If you fill in a W8-BEN the income from Adobe Stock will be paid to you without any US tax being taken from it because there is an agreement between the US and the UK for it to work that way.

      If you don't fill in the W8-BEN, Adobe will deduct tax at 28% from your payment and give it to the government to help Trump fund his latest executive order.

      Your choice.
