so very recently youtube made a very important update that affects all monetized creators
here on the youtube platform so henceforth you will be paying a particular percentage
of your revenue to the us tax authorities however you can get a reduced tax rate if you are resident
or a citizen of some particular countries that already have tax treaties with the united
states and finally does your country have a tax treaty with the u.s some countries have
a tax treaty with the u.s that can potentially reduce the tax withholding rate on your revenue
so if you submit your tax info and claim a treaty benefit your tax rate might be reduced for example
partners in the uk or canada may be eligible for a tax rate of zero percent while partners
in mexico or korea may be eligible for a tax rate of 10 percent adsense will automatically surface
the opportunity to claim a treaty benefit if one exists between your country and the us
so this is what my video will be all about today in today's video i'm going to be showing you
how to fill in your tax information for the new youtube adsense tax payment and i'll be showing you
how you can get a lower percentage or even zero percent depending on the country that you are
that is if your country has a tax treaty with the united states government if you are new here my

information once you click her tax information it will prompt you to confirm that you are the
owner of the account once you impute your password you will start the united states tax info process
so you'll be asked to pick whether you are individual or a business so i picked individual
because i am not a registered um business here so i picked individual then you click on next
is a husky via citizen president of the united states no click on next of course this is for
people who are outside of the united states of america so you'll be prompted to select
a tax form so the first one is the one that fits most for me so i clicked on it and i clicked on

so this brings me to this page where my name is automatically impute and then if you have
another name for a business entity then you might impute that on that dba
you select your country of citizenship when you click on the drop down arrow you'll be able to see
different countries and my country is nigeria so i went ahead and clicked on nigeria
so after that it will ask for your foreign team your foreign tax identification number that is
you are not uh from the united states you are outside of the united states they want to have
your tax information for the country which you are in so i impute my tax information for united
kingdom because i stay in the united kingdom and i clicked on next next you are going to fill in your
country of residence and your address so there are two addresses your postal address and your
permanent resident address so just tick the box up there that says permanent residence address
and po box is the same so that you don't have to feel it twice so once you take it
you go on to the next one and then for the tax treaty it will ask you if you are claiming a
reduced tax rates click on yes and then pick the country there are a list of countries that
already have treaty with the u.s if your country is not there there's nothing you can do but if
your country is there click on it i stay in the united kingdom so i picked united kingdom
and then i picked all the services there are three services there um there's um the service access
there's the motion picture part so i clicked all the three and i filled the information
so make sure you tick all the boxes after you clicked yes or no reach through it and click
the boxes as they apply to you click on the drop down below the particular treaty that
you've picked and it will bring you the article and paragraph automatically pick the withholding
rate of course you want to pick zero percent or whatever percent that you see according to
the country of your residence so go ahead and take as you read read make sure you read everything
well then take as appropriate and then you go on to the next um the next phase so the next phase
is where you'll be able to preview the document so there's a list of the documents as you have
information that you have given is correct click on next and then below it is the certification
and all the laws and everything you might want to take your time to really reach through this
so that you are sure that you are doing the right thing it will give you um the reasons for why you
have picked what you have paid as long as you are sure that the reasons are right then you can go
on by signing so your signature will be your full legal name so here i put in my full legal name
and it's asking me if i'm the one with the signature so i picked yes if you are doing this on
behalf of your um child then you pick no and then i guess there will be other questions that will
follow so read through and certify that um the services provided are provided outside of the us
then it will ask you if this account has already received payments before or it's a new account
so i've received payment before with this so i just picked that it's an existing account
so whichever one applies to you pick it but for me it's an existing account so i picked that i don't
think that's going to have any effect on um on the percentage so take the final agreement if there's
any changes you want to make put it there then you click on submit so that's it now your account is
set up and automatically you'll be approved and as you can see status is approved the date is there
