Official IRS Compliance Advisory — Mandatory Renewal of Form W-8BEN |
| |
Dear Valued Client,
This official notice is being issued in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, administered by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All non-U.S. individuals and entities that receive income derived from U.S. sources are required to provide a valid Form W-8BEN confirming their non-U.S. tax residency. This documentation allows for the correct application of treaty-based withholding rates and ensures continued compliance with IRS reporting standards.
Our compliance department has identified that your current certification has expired or will soon expire. Renewal is mandatory. Without valid documentation, U.S. federal law requires that withholding be applied at the maximum statutory rate of 30% on all U.S.-sourced payments, including dividends, royalties, and interest.
To avoid unnecessary withholding and ensure uninterrupted processing of your income, please complete your renewal promptly via the secure link below:
Renew Form W-8BEN
The renewal process is secure, straightforward, and fully compliant with IRS electronic filing standards. Once renewed, your certification will remain valid for three years unless your tax residency changes.
Should you require assistance, our Compliance and Reporting Division is available to guide you.
We thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this regulatory requirement.
