According to U.S. tax regulations, any company paying a foreign entity conducting business within the U.S must withhold a mandatory amount of 30%. If the foreign company is based in a country which has a tax treaty with the U.S., 30% withholding will be exempted if company fills out and submits a W-8BEN-E. It is highly incentivized that foreign businesses fill out W-8BEN-E accurately and submit it. If it fails to submit, or submits an inaccurate document, the foreign company must automatically pay the full 30% tax rate.
