PSA We’re a US-based company. We have to follow financial regulations. This means 1) there are certain countries we cannot provide financial services to and 2) >$600 a year requires everyone to complete a W8 / W9 if they want to continue to receive payments from us. If you would prefer not to provide that, that’s OK. But we can’t pay you.

Same you fill in a W8, I did one one, it was simple and fast. You mention you are not a US citizen.

No worries, I am also in the UK, basically there is a field on the W8 that allows you to specify that you are non-US and to give relevant details. Basically FC will send you an online form once you reach the threshold, it took me 5 mintues to complete.

ah ok, so if understand correctly...we will be prompted should we reach the threshold and not something we need to action if we are not doing US taxes normally. Thanks Paul, much appreciated.
