What’s the difference between Individual and Non-Individual accounts?
An individual account is owned and operated by an individual person and not a legal organization. Taxes are filed in the owner’s name on a personal tax return.
A non-individual account or entity account is a business account that’s separate from its owner for tax purposes.
The appropriate tax form is automatically generated based on the answers you provide. If you have any doubts, consult your tax advisor.
- A Form W-9 will be required from US persons, companies, partnerships, and so on.
- Generally, a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E is required from individuals and entities (respectively) outside of the US who are the beneficial owner of the income received. It may be used to claim a treaty benefit (in other words, a reduced rate of withholding).
- A Form W-8ECI is used by persons claiming income received and is effectively connected with a US trade or business. A US TIN will be required for all payees that provide a Form W-8ECI.
- A Form W-8IMY is required for certain intermediaries, partnerships and flow-through entities outside of the US. If this form is provided, Google may ask for additional documentation (for example, an allocation statement).
- A Form W-8EXP is used by entities to establish non-US beneficial owner status and eligibility for a reduced rate of tax withholding as a non-US government central bank, international organization, non-US tax exempt organization, non-US foreign private foundation or government of a US possession.

What should I expect while I complete this process?
Below are some key points you should consider as you complete the process:
- Do not use a PO Box or “In Care Of Address” as a permanent residence address: We found that some individuals and businesses provide a post office box or “in care of” address as their permanent residence address. If your permanent residence address is at a PO Box, in-care-of address, or a corporate services provider (such as a law firm or trust company), you may need to upload a copy of your articles of incorporation or other appropriate document showing that the address is your registered legal address.
- Identity Verification: You may be required to verify your identity if one of the following situations applies:
- Missing TIN or TIN not 9-digit numeric
- TIN entered is not currently issued
- TIN and Name combination does not match IRS records
- Invalid TIN matching request
- US addresses require extra support: If you claim non-US person residency status and have a permanent or mailing address located in the United States, you need to supply additional information to support the fact that you're not a US person.
- Limitations on benefits (entities only): Entities that claim treaty benefits must certify that they satisfy the limitation on benefits clause of the relevant tax treaty. To determine whether you qualify for tax treaty benefits, consult your applicable tax treaty or a professional tax adviser.

My country and the United States have an income tax treaty. How can I ensure that the treaty details are applied?If your country and the United States have an income tax treaty in place, then the tax tool in AdSense will identify the details of that during tax form submission.
Want to know if your country has a tax treaty with the United States? Refer to the IRS website. This is an IRS website and isn't maintained or reviewed by Google and Google can't confirm the accuracy of the information presented. If you have further questions, you may want to seek professional tax advice.
Why are there multiple payment types and which do I select?
Payments made in relation to Google products can sometimes fall into multiple categories. YouTube, AdSense, and Play partners should select all income types for which they’re eligible to claim treaty benefits to ensure they receive appropriate withholding tax rates. Google withholds at the appropriate rate based on the income type being paid and corresponding treaty claim. Google won’t use additional treaty claims unless such income type is paid. To help you decide which payment types relate to your partnership with Google, use the following:
- Other Copyright Royalties (such as Play and YouTube Partner Program)
- Motion Picture & TV Royalties (such as certain YouTube Movies and Shows and Play partners)
- Services (such as AdSense)

What is an affidavit of unchanged circumstances?
An affidavit of unchanged circumstances can be provided with a valid W-8. It allows Google to apply the newly provided form to a prior period in which a creator has been paid. This means that Google may treat any payments made during the prior period to which the affidavit relates as having the same tax status as presently determined by the new tax form.
This can be used to help Google provide a withholding tax refund, provided the form entitles the creator to a lower withholding rate and they have made a claim for a refund within the legal timeline for providing refunds (December 31 of the year in which withholding occurs).
