If you are from a treaty country and you are NOT the Rights Holder, you will need a US Taxpayer Identification Number (US TIN) to receive treaty benefits.
Even if you are from a non-treaty country, as long as you are the Rights Holder you also do not need a US Taxpayer Identification Number.
If you are unsure if your country has a tax treaty with the United States, check this list.
If you need a US TIN for yourself or your business, you can request one from the IRS. Individuals should apply for a US Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (US ITIN) by completing and filing Form W-7. Companies should request an Employer Identification Number (EIN) by completing and filing Form SS-4." |

Got the same thing myself - brilliant, and I have to say makes a lot more sense. Clearly their lawyers and tax advisors have a different take on the rules. Can SS clarify the situation please? |
BUMP! |

Hi,
I emailed the US embasy about this especially regarding notarisation etc. I received the following (my email at bottom). So if you can get into London it seems you can get an ITIN for free !
Cheers
Rob

both of your solutions would be acceptable, or you can come in to our US Embassy office and we will accept your W-7 and ID docs here 9-4pm, tu-thu. Passport would be returned to you immediately.

Subject: ITIN: US Notarized Copies of ID document
Hi there,
I need to apply for an ITIN. Can you advise who is suitable to certify copyis of my identification documents? Do I need to have them certified by a US government agancy or would copies certified by the UK Home office Identity service be acceptable ?
Many thanks,
Rob Richards |

Thats how I read it, and the last 3 tick boxes I didn't understand so I guess that has nothing to do with me.
Submitted without tax number as it said it was optional.
If thats it i'm happy, if they need any more info I won't be happy and will seriously consider leaving. |

We won't need to get TIN. Only fill out the online form.
We get a 6-week grace period to do it. |

That was easy, I hope that is it. I can go back to worrying about other things now :) |
