filling out w8ben form

A

arzoo

hi,

i would like some help on filling out the w8ben form.

i live outside the US and am not a US citizen.

I know that filling out the w8ben implies i pay taxes in my home country.

Should i answer PART II? which is Claim of Tax Treaty Benefits (if applicable). I'm not sure if i should leave this blank.

if this should be filled up, should i answer 9 and 10.. if this is needed, my answer for 9 would be letter A - The beneficial owner is a resident of _____ within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country.

then i dont know what to put in #10.

or do i just fill up PART I Identification of Beneficial Owner and the signature portion only.

Thanks for your help.

my broker does this for me, but i did have to fill one out before.

from memory, just do part 1.

my rule of thumb regarding tax people is give as little info as possible.
