30% USA Withholding Tax - for UK Companies

Postby nomykhan » Sun Feb 13, 2022 6:44 am

Dear Members,

I have Put Limited company in the UK. I am selling to a USA-based provider. I am filling out the W-8 BEN-E form so I can be exempt from the 30% withholding tax.
One of the points in the form is to select one of the below options (mandatory): I do not know if I fit in any of them. Can someone guide me that which option should I select and later provide proof as well? My business is related to technology books and content for students and professionals.

"The beneficial owner derives the item (or items) of income for which the treaty benefits are claimed, and, if applicable, meets the requirements of the treaty provision dealing with limitation on benefits. The following are types of limitations on benefits provisions that may be included in an applicable tax treaty (see instructions):
