Document-based review

U.S. payers may request Form W-8BEN-E and supporting documentation from non-U.S. entities. The applicable treatment depends on the payment type, entity facts, treaty position and payer process.

• Review of the payer, payment records, existing form and withholding statements
• Assessment of documentation and any available correction process
