Hi!
I’m trying to setup payout profile for Unity Asset Store. Usual procedure like with any other vendor (Google Play, Apple App Store, …). However, with Unity Asset Store, I’m not able to fill in Tax Treaty Benefits part of W-8BEN-E form, which is kinda crucial as it allows (in our case as we are a company based in Czech Republic that has Tax Treaty signed with U.S. and we are eligible for tax withhold reduction) to reduce rate of tax withholding to 0%.
Any knows the solution? It seems that one way is to print W-8BEN-E and fill it manually … which I could do, though it feels like asking for troubles as it is not supported by the electronic form.
I’m trying to avoid a rabbit hole here 
Any suggestions?
W-8BEN tax treaty update:
-
There are two check boxes in Unity’s tax interview that ask you to provide concent to provide your signature digitally. Check the NO option in both.
-
Complete the interview, submitting every detail that it asks for.
-
You get to a page that asks you to print the document, sign it and either email or post it. Print it, or don’t print it - But you must press CONTINUE.
-
You’ll be presented with a screen showing the postal address and email address, take note if you want, but it’s not 100% necessary, because…
-
The tax representive of Unity sends you an email, asking you to attach a scan of your signed document. Here, simply send back a fully completed W-8BEN that you’ve done manually, entering all your tax treaty details.

To jog your memory “Services are performed outside of the U.S.” is an answer in your W8-Ben application.
