As a publisher on our network, we are required to collect tax information when processing your commission payments. If you are a non-U.S. publisher, you will need to select one of the following forms: • W-9 – If you are liable for paying taxes in the United States. • W-8 – If you are not liable for U.S. taxes. You can add or update your tax information in the Publisher Dashboard by navigating to Account > Account Details. On the Account page, go to the General tab and scroll down to the Tax Declaration section. If you need help determining the appropriate form, please consult a tax professional or the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). We recommend seeking advice from a tax, legal, or financial expert to understand the implications of submitting a W-8 form for your business. The information provided here does not constitute tax, legal, or professional advice and should not be used as such. Helpful articles: ‘Income Tax Information’
