This is just a heads-up. When I woke up this morning there was a message on my KDP account saying to complete my tax information or they would remove my books. Obviously the wording gave me a bit of a shock!
Anyway, I think Amazon need W8-BENs by law and they are doing a bit of mopping up, especially for oversees sellers.
All you need to do is follow the 'tax interview' and electronically sign the W8-BEN form at the end. If you have an EIN or ITIN you can include that and you will then not be charged the withholding tax (if your country has a tax treaty with America).
Wish I'd known about this before posting my forms!
