Кто-нибудь что-то знает вот про это сообщение???
http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/abt62633.htmlWe have two important updates on the issue of tax withholding and your Shutterstock earnings:
First, to all foreign submitters worldwide, regardless of location:
Following extensive consultation with tax counsel, Shutterstock will withhold taxes on U.S. Source Income only, generally defined as income from Shutterstock’s U.S. customers. As many of you know by now, that withholding percentage can be as high as 30% in Non-Treaty Countries and as low as 0% in certain so-called “Treaty Countries.” If you live in a Treaty Country, then to receive the benefit of the reduced withholding rates, Shutterstock must have an appropriate Form W-8 and your ITIN on file.
Second, to all submitters who are residents of a Treaty Country:
Some submitters have reported to us that IRS officials have said that the letter emailed by Shutterstock to you will not satisfy the requirement that you furnish “a signed letter or document from the withholding agent, on official letterhead, showing your name and account number, and evidencing that an ITIN is required to make distributions to you during the current tax year which are subject to IRS information reporting or federal tax withholding.” Some IRS officials appear to be claiming that the letter is not sufficient without a physical signature. While we have been advised that the letter provided will satisfy the IRS’ document requirement, we are in the process of investigating this issue further and hope to have an update for you next week. Until you have heard from us again, please do not submit your W-7 ITIN application.
To reiterate, we will contact you soon with detailed instructions on how to submit your W-7 ITIN application, and again when the Form W-8 is available digitally on submit.shutterstock.com.
Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this matter.
Best Regards,
