My Google Adsense Tax Information Details in the Philippines as Blogger and Youtube Partner Video Content Creator - Android

I can't really say for sure if the way I answered my own Tax Info form is the ideal way to do it but nonetheless, as per your request, I'd like to share you how I did it. >

 

Let's do this step by step.

1. To create or manage your Tax Information form, simply click on "Manage tax info" link on the notification on top of your Adsense home screen.

2. In the next screen, click the blue "Add Tax Info" button.

3. You would then have to type in your username and password again for verification.

5. Next, I just typed in my name and skipped the option of adding a business name.

6. I then chose the Philippines as my country of citizenship.

8. Moving forward, you just need to type in your current permanent resident address. 

9. Tick the box for "Mailing address is same as permanent address" if you receive your mails at the residence address you provided.

10. This is perhaps the most important part of this process: The US Tax Treaty section.

The Philippines actually has a Tax Treaty Agreement with the United States to prevent double-taxation. However, to enjoy it, I believe you would need a Foreign Tax Identification Number, which is - as I've said - something I don't have.

11. After that I previewed my filled-up W-8BEN document and checked if all the details are correct.

12. When I saw that all details are accurate, I ticked the confirmation box.

13. Clicking on the "Next" button, I was taken to the Digital Signature section.

14. I just typed in my name and chose "Yes, I am the person listed in the signature section and am completing this form on my own behalf." Obviously, if you have your lawyer or representative fill-up the form for you, they would have to type in their own names.

As shown in the image above, I also picked "No" as my answer when asked if I have performed any activities and services for Google within the United States.

15. Finally, I just clicked submit to wrap up the process! Voila!

After a few minutes, I again clicked on the "Manage tax info" link on the notification on top of the home screen and I saw that my Form W-8BEN has been approved by Google Adsense.
