OMB Number: 1545–1621. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Form W–8BEN is used for 

certain types of income to establish that 

the person is a foreign person, is the 

beneficial owner of the income for 

which Form W–8BEN is being provided 

and, if applicable, to claim a reduced 

rate of, or exemption from, withholding 

as a resident of a foreign country with 

which the United States has an income 

tax treaty. Form W–8ECI is used to 

establish that the person is a foreign 

person and the beneficial owner of the 

income for which Form W–8ECI is being 

provided, and to claim that the income 

is effectively connected with the 

conduct of a trade or business within 

the United States. Form W–8EXP is 

used by a foreign government, 

international organization, foreign 

central bank of issue, foreign tax-exempt 

organization, or foreign private 

foundation. The form is used by such 

persons to establish foreign status, to 

claim that the person is the beneficial 

owner of the income for which Form 

W–8EXP is given and, if applicable, to 

claim a reduced rate of, or exemption 

from, withholding. In addition, a 

withholding qualified holder under IRC

to establish that it is treated as a U.S. 

person and claim an exemption to 

withholding pursuant to IRC section 

897(l) (relating to qualified foreign 

pension funds). Form W–8IMY is 

provided to a withholding agent or 

payer by a foreign intermediary, foreign 

partnership, and certain U.S. branches 

to make representations regarding the 

status of beneficial owners or to 

transmit appropriate documentation to 

the withholding agent. Treasury 

Regulations section 1.1441–1(e)(4)(iv) 

provides that a withholding agent may 

establish a system for a beneficial owner 

to electronically furnish a Form W–8 or 

an acceptable substitute Form W–8.
