Me too, i sent the form during summer, so I thought it was OK ! I find this system too difficult too understand for foreign people.

Am I a lucky one? I have not seen this message. I did fill in the form around August time.

Here you go. I said I would post my reply.

Hello Chris,

The site experienced a temporary glitch on Tuesday October 27.

If your tax forms have already been approved by us, but the notification
banner to submit your Tax Forms was displayed in your account, this was due to
this glitch.
When you log into your account now, there should be no banner.


We apologize for the confusion.

Best regards,


Juliette Cuijpers
Shutterstock Support



No need to complain.

I'm an Australian citizen, currently working in Serbia, and I registered Shutterstock account with my Serbian address. Which form should I use?

Australia has tax agreement and Serbia does not.

I have the same problem with tax message and it is still here on my page.
The more interesting thing is that I received message from shutterstock today:

Dear Konstantin Yolshin,
We're waiting on your tax form.

No need to say that I have submitted my form as soon as it was possible.
What is happening?

Personally I didn't get this kind of message so I guess I have complited my form corectly..will see...

Dear Shutterstock Submitters:

Some Shutterstock foreign submitters received an email from Shutterstock yesterday, which stated, “We are waiting on your tax forms.”

Shutterstock requires all of its foreign submitters residing in treaty countries to complete Form W-8, which is located in our Tax Center. To access the Tax Center, log into your account and from your Submitter Home Page scroll down to Tools and Resources and click on “Tax Center”. Please read the introductory language, determine which form is correct for you and fill out the form.

If you have any questions please contact us via email: submit@shutterstock.com

Sincerely,

Anthony Correia
