[METHOD] How To Get an EIN Number (Tax ID) For NON USA Members

Thanks for the answers, but living in a foreign country makes a difference? Because we are suppose to pay taxes in place where we live...
The information above only pertains to the IRS, you would have to look into your local government to see what sort of arrangement with Paypal they have.

"Since 2011, PayPal has been required by the IRS to report the sales of goods and services for customers who, in a single year receive:

  • More than $20,000 USD, AND
  • 200 or more payments.
The new IRS 6050W changes apply to all payment providers, including PayPal. This includes payments received after January 1, 2011, with the first reports sent to the IRS in early 2012.

You can find more information and FAQs about the new IRS 6050W requirements on the (Cant post links Paypals IRS section)"
So that means it make no sense to open an US bank account just because you want to open a US PayPal account!?! I don't understand what the benefit is to have a US PayPal account compared to a European PayPal account which is much easier to deal with?
 
please shopify payments is not available in my country. what do i do
 
But the question is how to get an ssn number...?

At stripe activation process ein number is optional but ssn is required....

If they specifically ask for a SSN, you must provide an SSN and there is no way around it. Most credit card processors in US ask for a responsible party's SSN to do a credit risk assessment until you get big enough to have corporate credit.
 
fyi: to open an US bank account you don't need SSN or either ISN or any other US taxation's numbers.
It requires: passport + the utility bill (plus your person physically)
 
Idk the use of all this. But i thought tax id can be generated?

What is the benefit if this thread? For people who wants to open a US bank account or for people who needs a verified PayPal acct? I don't get it.
 
i bought 10$ of skype credit and called irs and did exactly what you have said in this post and it worked,i will recieve documents in about 2 weeks but i already got my EIN number over the phone,thanks a lot dude,you saved me a lot of trouble!
