Forms W-8 are valid for the year in which they are signed and for the next three calendar years. For example, a Form W-8BEN signed on March 5, 2018, remains valid through December 31, 2021, and must be resubmitted to IBKR no later than January 30, 2022.

Tax withholding determination:

Generally, tax is withheld at a rate of 30% on payments of US source stock dividends and substitute payments in lieu. The rate of withholding may be reduced if there is a tax treaty between your country of tax residence and the US

US Tax withholding on distributions from Publicly Traded Partnerships is withheld at 37% (2018) as this is earned income in the US

Updating Form W-8:

Forms W-8 are valid for the year in which they are signed and for the next three calendar years. For example, a Form W-8BEN signed on March 5, 2018, remains valid through December 31, 2021, and must be resubmitted to IBKR no later than January 30, 2022. Failure to update your W-8 form will result in withholding on all income including gross proceeds from securities sales.

Note: IBKR will send you an email when you are required to resubmit your Form W-8.

Requirement to Complete Form W-8:

Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status, must be on file with IBKR. This form must be renewed every three years. If the form W-8 is no longer valid, IBKR will assume that you are a non-US person and withhold US tax at 30% on interest, dividends, gross proceeds and payments and lieu. Treaty rates, if applicable, will no longer apply.

Note that if you complete Form W-8 you will not receive a Consolidated Form 1099, but you may receive Form 1042S.
Withholding Penalty

If you fail to provide a Form W-8, or do not resubmit a new W-8 when prompted upon the three-year expiration, additional withholding will apply. IBKR encourages its clients to consult with their tax advisors for further guidance on how to seek relief for any tax withheld.

Refer to information below for the specific type of W-8 you should complete and how long your Form W-8 is valid from the date signed.

Safe to use ?

Ini pun mau ajar ka?

He sinki

Sign and submit w8ben then USA will have power over you. ... financially meaning if you trade in certain way, and profit, then they tax deduct.

If you don't know how to fill up form and submit, then maybe not advisable for you to trade.

And don't get scammed by the fake BEN forms that ask you to update your profile and give them your mother's maiden name! Stopped receiving these phishing emails after I reported this to the IRS hotline. Pax.

So is it have expired date?

I just tick these things and submit done?

You also work in singapore?

Nope. But it does not matter where you reside; the scammers somehow know and target those who had previously submitted the W-8BEN and ask for profile updates on their fake form. Pax.
