I'm based here in the UK and strugling to fill out a W8 US tax form which one of my affiliate networks requires for payments. The section I am strugling with is Part II

9 I certify that (tick all that apply):

a) The beneficial owner is a resident of within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country.

b) If required, the U.S. taxpayer identification number is stated on line 6 (see instructions).

c) The beneficial owner is not an individual, derives the item (or items) of income for which the treaty benefits are claimed, and, if applicable, meets the requirements of the treaty provision dealing with limitation on benefits (see instructions).

d) The beneficial owner is not an individual, is claiming treaty benefits for dividends received from a foreign corporation or interest from a U.S. trade or business of a foreign corporation, and meets qualified resident status (see instructions).

e) The beneficial owner is related to the person obligated to pay the income within the meaning of section 267(b) or 707(b), and will file Form 8833 if the amount subject to withholding received during a calendar year exceeds, in the aggregate, $500,000.

I'm not sure if any of the above apply to myself. Why can't they write these forms in plain english?

Thanks in advance, Chris

According to this: TMF: Here's How to Fill out a W8-BEN / International - United States

You should just tick a) and ignore the rest.
