How to Fill and Upload Form W-8BEN (For Non-US Affiliates) 

If you are a JetHost affiliate based outside of the United States, you are required to submit a Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding). 

This form certifies that you are not a U.S. person and allows you to claim a reduced rate of tax withholding if your country has a tax treaty with the U.S. 

Note: If you are a US citizen or US resident alien, do not use this form. You must submit a Form W-9 instead. 

Step 1: Download the Form and Instructions 

You must use the official form provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
