IMPORTANT: The data you provide must be completely accurate, correct, and filled out strictly in Latin characters. In the form, it must perfectly match the data in your official corporate and tax documents.
You need to submit your tax information in your AdSense account (navigate to "Payments" -> "Payments info").
Getting Started: Selecting Your Account Type
Select the "Non-Individual/Entity" option if your account is registered to a company or agency.
Next, indicate that you are "NOT a US` resident" and select the W-8BEN-E tax form.
Click "Start W-8BEN-E form".
Step 1. Tax Identity
In this section, enter the official legal name of your organization and select the country of incorporation from the drop-down list.
Then, select your Chapter 3 Status (Entity Type). For example, for a Limited Liability Company (LLC), the "Corporation" option is most commonly chosen.
Below, in the Foreign TIN field, enter your organization's corporate tax identification number.
Double-check for typos and click "Next".
Step 2. Legal Address
Here you must provide your legal address exactly as it appears in your company's incorporation documents.
Do not check the box indicating your permanent residence address is a P.O. Box (doing so may trigger a manual review).
Fill in all the address details and check the second box — "Mailing address is same as permanent residence address" (if your physical mailing address matches your legal address).
Click "Next".
Step 3. Tax Treaty
In this section, you determine if a reduced tax rate applies to your company's income. If your organization is registered in a country that has a tax treaty with the US (e.g., Ukraine, Kazakhstan, etc.):
Answer "Yes" to claiming a reduced rate of withholding.
Check the box stating you are a resident of the country claiming treaty benefits and select your country from the list.
In the Limitation on Benefits (LOB) section, select the status that applies to your corporate structure (e.g., Company that meets the ownership and base erosion test, or another applicable provision).
Select the appropriate article and paragraph for the Services (AdSense) income category and apply the lowest tax rate (usually 0%).
After filling this out, click "Next".
Step 4. Document Preview
Ensure all entered data is correct. We recommend clicking on the generated W-8BEN-E PDF file on the right and carefully reviewing the document.
If everything is correct, check the confirmation box and click "Next".
Step 5. Certification (Signature)
You are required to verify the accuracy of the entered data once again. By providing an electronic signature (typing the full legal name in Latin characters), you must confirm that the form is being completed by an authorized representative on behalf of your organization.
Click "Next".
Step 6. US Activities and Affidavit
In the section asking whether your entity performed any activities or services for Google within the US, select "No" (since the company is not a US resident) and check the confirmation box.
Below, select the status of your account:
For new accounts: Select the option indicating that the data is being provided for a new payments profile.
For existing accounts: Select the option for an existing profile. You will need to check an additional box confirming that the data is accurate and has not changed over past periods. If there were changes (e.g., change of legal name, corporate address), detail them and specify the dates in the comment box (e.g., from January 1, 2020, to the present).
Click the "Submit" button.
If all data is entered correctly and the right tax status is selected, the form should be accepted instantly, and you will see a green "Approved" status. The form is complete!
