Hello!
I have questions regarding the taxation for non-US citizens on paypal business accounts.
I am not a U.S. citizen, but my income comes from a platform similar to fiverr. I pay my taxes to my own country.
Is there any chance that paypal will want me to pay taxes to the U.S.? If the answer is "yes", then do they automatically remove the tax money from my account?
I got suspicious of that when I was trying to answer the fw8ben form on my paypal business account... I was afraid of being double taxed. I tried reaching out to a lot of accountants in my country, but none of them has knowledge of paypal nor any knowledge about receiving income online, which got me very frustrated 😞
So far I haven't been able to submit my fw8ben form, as they keep denying it because they claim it's not properly filled, because the accountants filled it up wrong. The way I fill this form will affect my chances of being double taxed?
Thanks!
