can't seem to see this question answered, for your final thread with answers.
I am Canadian, and images sales at least are 0% tax.
do i still have to fill in the forms ?
(some people are stating large amounts for notarization. In north america, you can get a notary to sign the document for less than $25, i believe. its only to prove that you are the correct person filling in the governmental form)
i am also not claiming any income from SS, because i am not making that much and its a hobby. if i do have to fill in the forms, does it mean that i now have to CLAIM MY INCOME to the canadian revenue agency ?
thanks

Yes you have to apply for an ITIN and then file W-8BEN that will be online probably on your submitter's page soon. |

What a mess with this tax stuff.
If you don't prove it then you pay 30% |

Exactly sounds a bit frustrating, huh? |

Was there an email?
The only reason I noticed was on the main page the 'IRS' post, which always seems to get my attention no matter where I see those 3 letters. |

I got an email but I don't understand why is it that just a part of the foreign contributors got one...
Is it that you have to exceed $600 per year to be eligible, or something like that...? |

Those of us in the US didn't have to submit our IRS paperwork until we exceeded $600 per year, so it would make sense that SS would follow the same procedure with non-US folks. I submitted my W-9 right away, but later when I hit $600 they sent me an automatic reminder notice. |

Mike, you're a funny guy but this is a very serious topic to a lot of us and your pimping and what it represents to a lot of us is in extremely 'bad taste'
I want to say a couple of words to you right now but I wont as
1. I actually think you're a really great guy.
2. I'm very upset about this whole tax thing and
3. I don't want to get banned (I'd rather leave of my own accord)
Good day to you sir.

Awwwwwww Tony Tony Tony
Thank you
I like you too
Anyone who is upset by this just does not understand how it works here in the good ol usa
its just Taxes
this is nothing new, my wife deals with this on a daily basis in her business, and she deals with people from around the world also
Dont take my pimping as anything personal
its just good ol fun business practices
after all this is a Photography site, if you see a photo or two dont be suprised
it will be ok |
