This was amazing! I noticed I was getting taxed a whopping 30% on my Adsense revenue which was obscene!!! As I searched for a solution this video just popped up! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You'll be saving me A LOT of money!
That’s awesome Tiago, glad to hear. Tbh, I set it up back in May and thought it would be all cool. I’m glad I got onto the error and only missed 2 months of lower tax. But I think we will be able to claim it in our next tax return nevertheless. All the best and I hope you get something out of the rest of my channel :)
First of all: thanks a lot for this information. Really helpful! I've been paying the full 30% since mid 2021, and finally filled out the form correctly. As it's been a huge chunk, I was wondering: did you manage to get anything back? And if yes, how did you do it? Thanks again! Greetings, from the Netherlands.
I am in the same position as you and have just resubmitted the form today 😭 I am located in Australia. My tax accountant has said I can try and claim an income tax credit for the foreign tax paid. I would love to know if anyone has been successful with claiming back this withholding tax. I'm not looking forward to potentially having to pay tax on my channel earnings in Australia as well!
I figured this out very very late and was paying a higher withholding rate for 2 years. Just wondering if any of you guys got your refund or did I lose all that money? I'm in Canada by the way.
4:53 Just a friendly note that the word you were looking for here was actually "retroACTIVELY" since there is an action taken that applies to past events. RetroSPECTIVELY (spect = look/see.. such as 'spectacles' = item to help you see better) simply means to LOOK into the past.
It's such a snake hole, your lucky to be earning so much. A few years ago I had a long and expensive battle to not have GST applied to my earnings at tax time, considering how this site has collapsed in relation to income I don't know why I bothered. The pinch point for me was to get Google to answer 12 queries that the ATO had set out. In my case a very tiny amount of my income is derived in Australia and this required the big G to cough up some data and info. Wow that was akin to getting blood out of a stone. The fee to be GST free in the end was multple thousands of dollar. It reminded me again I'm in the wrong game.
This was super helpful! Thank you so much! I had been putting this off for ages but was really straight forward as you said it would be! Grateful for videos like these! 😊
Thank you for making this so simple to fix. I can't believe TH-cam has been withholding 30% tax all this time. I need to be more vigilant about my numbers. THANK YOU.
This was really useful. Annoyingly, I've just realised I've been charged 30% for over a year, but is only important now that my income is growing and so I'm really noticing! Did you ever get a refund back?!
@@TimHarrisVideo what do i chaange mine is this Other copyright default WHT rate: 30% Services default WHT rate: 30% Motion picture and TV default WHT rate: 30%
There is one critical issue, nobody is talking about. On search all over the internet I only get the hits where people are lecturing about how to fill out the forms etc. etc. I filled out the correct form alright. No problem there. But there is no submit button!!! Nobody is telling us how to submit the darn thing. Please please please help. I have received tax document from youtube this month March 2023. I opened it and checked through. Then what? How to submit?
Im wondering if it's better to sign up with google adsense in USA or UAE? My mom lives in USA and is American. Im Mexican but live in UAE. Im assuming its better in UAE because of tax reasons less taxes than USA
Great video! How long does the refund process take? I was just charged the for the US withholding amount and followed your steps. I'm in Canada but how long was that waiting time
Thank you for making this video, I don't make a lot from the partner program so to see I earned my minimum $100 then about $25 was not coming. I knew it had to be the tax treaty.
Getting the error: "A foreign TIN or US TIN is required to claim tax treaty benefits. Please add a foreign TIN or US TIN in Step 1: Tax identity" As someone from the UK, what is the TIN? So confused!
Im a Canadian livining in the us.... im entering my Canadian tax info but im google is not accepting it because it says i cant use a us resident address ?? What do i fill in or do.?
Hi this happened to me in December 2022 so when I got paid in January they withheld the tax but when asked about getting tax back the said I have to claim the tax from the IRS as its the end of tax year do you no how to claim it back, which form I would need to file I'm a British citizen who lives in uk
Is tax withholding only on views from the US? When I calculate the US Ch.3 Tax withholding rate on total balance it's around 4.5% , but when I calculate it on the revenue coming from the US it's 30%... Do I have to re-submit the form or is this 30% from US revenue is deducted no matter what? I've submitted the W-8BEN form but underneath it, it says 30% 30% 30%.. and in case it was a mistake, can I claim back the tax that was held or not?
Hello. I just filled in my forms correctly a month ago and got paid in full this month! I'd like to know if anyone knows are we entitled to get the witholding amount back from all previous months?
Hi there, Phew finally I’ve found a fellow Aussie talking about this W-8BEN form, you explain this so clearly. I am having difficulty with one question though and that is what is my TIN number, what did you put? I’ve been trying to search for the answer, some say put your TFN number and others say to enter “not legally required” I’d really love your help on this one. I am a born and bread Aussie 😊
Hi there, I cant get to this tax form , I keep going around in circles. I get to "provide info", and the create a form link, but the link does not work. I get a note saying I have pop ups blocking stuff, of which I don't. In Windows set up, I have turned Pop ups on, and I have turned Pop ups off, and still no tax form is made available to me. Plus I have no idea what info I have to supply. I have spent 2 days on this tax thing. I'm getting close to closing down my channel and deleting some 400 YT videos, as its just not worth the stress.
I messed up on filling out my forms the first time and was nailed 30%. I am resubmitting, but why does it say Form W-8BEN no treaty applying? I live in Canada. Thanks.
Hey mate, this was super helpful! Appreciate your efforts, thank you so much 👍🏻Wondering do you have any suggestion for any specific bank for payment method here in Australia due to USD to AUD conversion?
Hi mate! Excellent video.. Can one claim the previous ones back (the amount that are already paid when the tax form was filled out incorrectly?) would appreciate your response. Cheers

Very helpful video brother. I just updated mine Because I was taxed at 30% when I received my first payment and I was in shock. Thankyou very much.
Glad it helped
I've been getting taxes put the wazoo, once I fix this will I get refunded for all the extra tax I was getting? Thanks

Hi Tim, you sharing is applied for the countries of US TAX TREATY. However, are there any ways to reduce tax for the countries of non us tax treaties?
Setup an LLC in a country that has tax treaty
@@lbb-iz4pbis this a legal solution? I'm looking for a way to reduce tax for the country of non us tax treaties too
Thank you for making this so simple to fix. I can't believe TH-cam has been withholding 30% tax all this time. I need to be more vigilant about my numbers. THANK YOU.
Same! I filled it out incorrectly :( Definitely will fix it.
Sadly my country has no tax treaty with USA, so im still being charged the 30% :(
Setup LLC in another country which has tax treaty with the US
does this also work in EU countries?
Thankfully I found this video before submitting the form, as I had only selected one of the options 🙏👍
Yes, exactly what I needed! Thank you and have a blessed day Tim!

Hi just wondering, is the foreign TIN number the Australian TFN? :)thanks
I entered my TFN.
If you don’t submit the form can you still get paid ?
Do I need to file a yearly Income Report if I'm an EU citizen? Or once I've filled this form I'm set?

Great, hope you can get some extra $’s in 👍🏼
