W-8BEN tax form for Hong Kong company

[Quant38163506i2ax]

Hello,

I'm trying to fill out the form W-8BEN for a company residing in Hong Kong. The form is forcing me to fill out the treaty information, but there is no tax treaty between US and Hong Kong. Do I still have to fill out the form?

Hi @Quant38163506i2ax,

What company is it? Is this related to submitting assets to Adobe?

Prior to the treaty question, there is usually a question for you to choose the option of treaty or no treaty. Look again to see where you overlooked that question.

Best wishes

And yes, you need to submit the form before asking for a payout.

Yes.  Your standard flat-tax rate is 30% for images and videos.  See screenshot below.
