WCHENG, Yes, it was/is my case. I am international shareholder and had to complete W8-BEN including the the Released documents and all of them were contra-signed by my broker management and sent to the WMILT trust. So this is only for short reconfirmation. Regards, Muff
Your Post: i think international investors may be eligible for certain tax exemptions or reduced taxes (depending on country) if they fill out a W8-BEN form (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for U.S. Tax Withholding)
