Information on the FTIN number that is required to complete the W-8BEN Tax Form
Jukin Media requires a Foreign Tax Identification number (FTIN) in order to validate your tax information. You will not be able to receive payment without entering this number.
Your FTIN will be the unique number that you use to pay taxes or identify yourself in your country. Depending on what country you live in, this number might be on your government-issued identification card or social insurance card. See below for additional examples.
