Instructions for sellers from other countries
Residents of other countries must submit a U.S. W-8 tax form and will only be subject to withholding if it is legally required for your country.
Businesses and organizations: If you're selling on behalf of a business or organization, you can submit a W-8BEN-E from your Payment Settings page on Vimeo.
Individuals: If you're an individual seller, you must first check this IRS page to see if your country has a tax treaty with the U.S.
If your country is listed on the IRS page above, you will be not subject to any withholding from Vimeo if you submit a W-8BEN tax form with a valid tax treaty claim.
Download the form and then submit a completed copy to taxforms @ vimeo [dot] com.
If your country is not listed above, your net revenue will be subject to 30% withholding if you complete a valid W-8BEN form. You can submit all the necessary forms on your Payment Settings page.
