Withholding 30% from international publishers

Fastclick is in the process of updating our files for U.S. tax registration information on all our publishers. The United States Federal Government requires the registration of tax status on Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (see attachment) for all foreign individuals or businesses receiving payments derived from U.S. business income. Fastclick is required by law to collect this information and, if necessary, withhold taxes from payments. In order to determine if tax withholding is necessary, please complete the enclosed documents.
Based on the address Fastclick has on file for your business location, we have determined that your withholding rate is 30%. Based on that withholding rate, we estimate that your withholdings through June 2005 may be $XXX.XX. Please refer to the attached Internal Revenue Service Publication 515 for the source of this rate. In particular, refer to Chart C on page 16 and Table 1, column 10 on pages 36 and 37. If you can provide alternative information for a different rate, or if the income is connected to a U.S. business, please specify this on the appropriate form.
