จดหมายตอบของจากส่ง W8-BEN แบบเก่าไป
Hello,
Although you live in Thailand, you are receiving US source income which is subject to a 30% withholding rate until you submit a W-8BEN that is considered valid for tax treaty benefits. The form you attached is invalid because You did not provide a US TIN in Question 6 and Question 9b has not been completed.
According IRS guidelines, a US TIN is a requirement in order to consider the form valid. Please refer to page 28 of the IRS Publication 515 (
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p515.pdf 
) for information on this requirement.
Information on how to apply for a TIN with the IRS is available at the IRS website. For non-US persons, a TIN may be an EIN (for individuals and businesses) or an ITIN (for individuals only). An EIN may be obtained by filing IRS Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number. The application may be completed over the telephone in one session by calling (267) 941-1099.
