As a UK-based company, MangoMap is classified as a non-U.S. entity for tax purposes and therefore does not provide W-9 forms, which are exclusively for U.S. taxpayers and entities to report their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
Payments for MangoMap's subscription services are classified as income for a foreign entity. To comply with U.S. tax regulations for non-U.S. businesses, MangoMap provides the W-8BEN-E form, which:
- Confirms Our Foreign Status: The form certifies that MangoMap operates outside the U.S. as a UK-based company and is not subject to U.S. taxation in the same way as domestic entities.
- Ensures Compliance with Withholding Tax Rules: The W-8BEN-E documents how U.S. tax withholding applies to payments made to MangoMap. Under the U.S.-UK tax treaty, these payments may qualify for reduced withholding rates - your finance team can review IRS Publication 515 for detailed guidance on withholding requirements for payments to foreign entities.
If you require a copy of our W-8BEN-E form for your records, please reach out to support.
