Before Applying for an ITIN

As a non-U.S. resident, you may be eligible for a zero or reduced rate of U.S. tax withholding if your income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, or if your country of permanent residence (the country where you claim to be a resident for purposes of that country's income tax) has an income tax treaty with the U.S.

Look for your country of permanent residence in the Copyrights column under Royalties in the list of tax treaty countries to check the applicable withholding rate. If your country of permanent residence is a part of this list, you may not need a U.S. Tax TIN (ITIN for individuals) to complete the Tax Questionnaire.

When to apply for an ITIN

If your country of permanent residence does not issue a Tax ID number (foreign Tax ID), but has an active treaty with the U.S., you may apply for a U.S. ITIN by filing Form W-7. Please reference the following resources on the IRS website for filling a W-7.

• General ITIN Information
• Form W-7

Please contact the IRS or consult your tax adviser if you need further guidance.
