Go to solutionHi, We are a firm from India. I see W-8BEN-E is suitable form for us. I would like to know anyone from India has experience filling in the form.
We are not sure what to select in Treaty Claim statement.. for the section "Please select the applicable Limitation on Benefits provision under which you are eligible for benefits (see instructions). Note that the dropdown below is an exhaustive list; your country's tax treaty may not include all provisions. "
Solved! Go to Solution.

Go to solutionHi @Tekianaio537,
I am based in India and I can share what I had selected to update my tax form. It looks like you are applying as an organization. I had also applied as an organization and selected "Company with an item of income that meets active trade or business test." It worked fine.
Disclaimer: Before selecting this option, I had sought its validity from my local CA. I would suggest you do the same. After completing these formalities, the US withholding tax reduces from 30% to 15% for Indians. Also, the withholding tax is only applicable for sales made in the U.S.
Further, India has a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with the U.S. In this, if you are taxed in the U.S., you need not pay that much amount in India as taxes. You can get tax relief. To gain these benefits, you will be required to submit all of your Udemy income statement to your CA and he will take those reliefs for you when filing the IT returns or paying quarterly taxes.
Hope this helps.
