Hello!!
thanks for your article
I have two question if maybe you can answer:
1/ After doing this, Amazon discount the taxes or we will have to pay later? How does it work in India and how much we have to pay?
2/There is any problem if the amazon account and the details are from a non-indian resident? So far i know it need to have a indian bank account ( so I do ) , but not being a resident
thanks
You can fill in your TIN and the tax withholding rate will be 0% for Non-US citizens. You just need to pay income tax on your income as per the country.
If I am a minor, should I register for the tax information or my gaurdian?
