How do I determine whether I qualify for a tax treaty benefit?
Please consult a tax adviser or your tax residency country’s guidance to determine what income tax treaties are in place and whether the type of income you receive from Google is included in a specific tax treaty provision.
Can Google help make this determine if I qualify for a tax treaty?
Unfortunately, Google can’t make this determination for you. You may need to seek professional tax advice to determine your treaty eligibility.
Do I need to complete the form if I’m not claiming treaty benefits?
Even if you're not claiming any treaty benefits, Google may still be legally required to withhold and report taxes on income earned through our products. Therefore, your tax information may still be required.
