Tax forms

When you specify or change your payment information (see Update payment information), note the following guidelines for uploading the appropriate tax forms:
  • If you are not a resident of the United States or an organization in the United States, and you want to sell applications in the United States marketplace, you must complete and upload Form W-8. For most vendors, the applicable form is Form W-8BEN. Read the description at the top of Form W-8BEN to verify that it is the correct form.
  • If you are a resident of the United States or an organization in the United States, use the W-9 series forms to request a taxpayer identification number.
  • If you are not a resident of Canada or an organization in Canada, and you want to sell applications in the Canadian marketplace, you must complete and upload Form NR-301. Partnerships should complete and upload Form NR-302. Hybrid entities should complete and upload Form NR-303.
  • If you do not complete and submit the forms described above, the highest rate of withholding tax might be applied to any sales in the United States and Canada.
