为什么美国人一定要填W8-BEN-E呢？
对美国人来说，这样做可以帮他省钱啊，不然干嘛这么麻烦，中国供应商付钱属于一笔支付啊，因为他们中国供应商的货款对他们来说是一笔支出，支出越多，税就少了，说白了可以抵消税务，老外原话： I heard our tax department is helping get the paperwork settled.美国人不可能抽中国人的税，W-8BEN-E填了就是说这个意思，假如客户让你填W-8BEN-E你填吗？？假如不填的话美国人不会和你做生意，美国很多中大型公司做生意，特别是大一点的规范公司，W-8BEN-E必须要的一个关卡，很多顾客在没订单的情况下，一来就让我们填写,我一般是不接受的，因为假如第一次填写基本你要填30-60分钟。只有确定订单以前我们可以填写一下。
这个W8我填了很多次了，第一次是用香港的名义去填的，第二次是大陆公司名字填的，每次都是付款前老外教我怎么填，第一次是老外的业务员教我填的，随便乱写也没关系，他也付款成功，第二次是老外财务教我填写的，正规了很多，所以我就把最终这个模板贡献出来给大家参考，反正只要能付款成功就是对的，其他都是浮云啊。各位要记住你第一次填了以后，这个模板可能就失效了【Once these changes are made, the form will be valid. 】原话:When the form is downloaded the information entered disappears, they need to print the form and complete it.】，让老外重新发模板给你，重新填吧。具体可以问下kmhpromo
美国纳税W-8BEN-E到底要填哪几项?
老外原话说：没法教你怎么填，只能大概告诉你你这种公司要怎么填，This form is tricky and can be difficult to complete. I am unable to tell you exactly how your organization should complete the form. However, I can tell you what we typically see from similar companies and what we would expect to see on Zhenba Magicgo Co's Form W8-BEN-E.
注意①they need to print the form and complete it. W-8BEN-E is Invalid, the company is not an "Entity wholly owned by exempt beneficial owners." They are not a Foreign Financial Institution that is an investment entity. They are most likely an "Active NFFE"
注意②1. Part I, Line 5- Box for "Active NFFE" is typically checked instead of "entity wholly owned by exempt beneficial owners."
注意③. Part II can be left blank, since the company is most likely not a financial institution (such as a bank).
注意④. Part XVI, Line 30 Box should be unchecked
注意⑤. Part XXV, Box 39 should be checked
假如老外还是看不到字：打印出来，签字+写上日期，然后扫描件发给他
老外说我们发过去的都看不到，让我们打印出来，签字+写上日期，然后扫描件发给他。I suggest printing the form, signing and dating it again, and then scanning a copy to send via email. That should solve that problem.
