ellos lo llaman Foreign Tax ID Number hablé por teléfono en su momento y me dijeron que para nuestro caso en argentina le tenía que pasar el el CUIT
los del banco me mandaron un mensaje similar bajo amenaza de cierre de cuenta y también me pidieron el CUIT al ser argentino
en su momento pensé que me pedían el ITIN pero me aclararon que no ma hacía falta si les daba el CUIT
Me puse a buscar información, el nuevo formulario W-8BEN trae un lugar para declarar la FTIN, en noticias periodisticas mencionan que lo unico que pasa si no lo declaras es que te cobran un impuesto anual del 30% y no te eximen por ser extranjero no residente.
En la explicacion que da el IRS sobre la información que hay que poner en el W-8BEN casillero 6 sin embargo, no te dan alternativa, y dice:
Line 6. If you are providing this Form W-8BEN to document yourself as an account holder with respect to a financial account (as defined in Regulations section 1.1471-5(b)) that you hold at a U.S. office of a financial institution (including a U.S. branch of an FFI) and you receive U.S. source income reportable on Form 1042-S associated with this form, you must provide the TIN issued to you by your jurisdiction of tax residence identified on line 3 unless:
You have not been issued a TIN (including if the jurisdiction does not issue TINs), or
You are a resident of a U.S. possession.
If you are providing this form to document a financial account described above but you do not enter a TIN on line 6, and you are not a resident of a U.S. possession, you must provide the withholding agent with an explanation for why you have not been issued a TIN. For this purpose, an explanation is a statement that you are not legally required to obtain a TIN in your jurisdiction of tax residence. The explanation may be written on line 6, in the margins of the form, or on a separate attached statement associated with the form. If you are writing the
explanation on line 6, you may shorten it to “not legally required.” Do not write “not applicable.”
In addition, if you are not using this form to document a financial account described above, you may provide the TIN issued to you by your jurisdiction of tax residence on line 6 for purposes of claiming treaty benefits (rather than providing a U.S. TIN on line 5, if required).
