Hello. I'm a European living in Asia. I mainly do Youtube so my money comes through google adsense. The country I live in has a tax treaty with the US and I have a tax id from this Asian country as well. Through this tax treaty I only need to pay the Americans 5% withholding tax instead of the usual 24% for personal accounts and 30% for business accounts.
Now I would like to create either a US LLC or Canadian LP/LLP to receive my income there instead.

Question 1)

I suppose I need to create a business adsense account and then connect my business bank account (that I got through my US LLC or Canadian LP/LLP) with the new adsense account. Will I still be able to take advantage of the tax treaty since I'm a (tax) resident of this Asian country? I've read online that I could potentially fill out a w8ben E form despite my company then being in the US or in Canada. I've also read about the w9 form but I don't see any fields for possible tax treaties on that form.

Question 1.5)

If this is not possible through a business adsense account, could I just make a personal adsense account instead and fill out a w8ben there?

Question 2)

Is it possible nowadays to connect either wise or payoneer to google adsense? I've seen some people say it's not possible, others say it is.

Thanks a lot guys!

Hey there! It's a complex situation, but here are some thoughts: Business Adsense Account: Yes, you can connect it to a US LLC or Canadian LP/LLP. You may still be able to benefit from the tax treaty, but consult a tax expert for specifics. 1. 5. Personal Adsense Account: Filling out a W8BEN as an individual might be an option. Wise and Payoneer: It varies; some say it's possible, others don't. Check their current policies and consult their support for clarity. Consider professional advice for this, as tax treaties can be intricate.
