International Tax Information
If you are an international (aka not a citizen of the USA) you must fill out a W-8BEN form if you will be redeeming an amount of points equal to or greater than $600 in a given year (works out to be 12000 points).
This form essentially states that you are not required to pay any income tax. The form will be kept by Curse and not submitted to the IRS. You will have to claim any income earned via the Rewards Program as income within your own country. These documents will be stored securely and the information provided will only be revealed to the IRS in event of an audit or as otherwise required by law.
Where to get the form
The one page W-8BEN form can be downloaded here. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view it.
Accompanying the one page W-8BEN are six pages of instructions for filling out the form.
Submitting the form
There are multiple ways to submit the form, please choose the one that's the most convenient for you. All methods require the form to be completed and signed. Make sure you include your CurseForge username on the form somewhere, in the e-mail, or in the mail.Email Address: [email protected]
