NetAudioAds Pay Per Play: Tax Information

    In order to remain compliant with tax laws, NetAudioAds began collecting tax-related information from all Pay Per Play publishers as of November 13, 2007.

    Upon logging in to your Pay Per Play account, you'll be presented with an easy-to-use interface that will direct you to the appropriate form for your tax situation. Most tax forms are provided in electronic format for you to complete and submit online.

    Please note that NetAudioAds will hold payments to you until we receive your tax information. You'll collect all revenue due to you once your information has been submitted.

    Publishers will fall into one of three main tax categories:

    • U.S. Business: The payee is based in, and pays taxes in, the U.S.
    • Non U.S. Business (No U.S. Activities): The payee's operations related to participation in Pay Per Play are based entirely outside of the U.S., and payee does not pay taxes in the U.S.
    • Non U.S. Business with U.S. Activities: The payee is based outside of the U.S., but has equipment or employees in the U.S. that are involved with payee's participation in Pay Per Play.

    Additional information includes:

    • Deadline for Submitting your Tax Information
    • Additional Tax Resources

    Your tax information is being collected in compliance with U.S. tax laws, and will be securely stored, encrypted, and used for tax purposes only. For more information, please read our Privacy Policy.

    U.S. Business

    United States (U.S.) publishers are required to submit Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form W-9, for which a U.S. tax I.D. such as a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) is needed.

    This form is available online within your Pay Per Play publisher account. You can complete and sign the form electronically. NetAudioAds uses industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology to protect your tax I.D. and other personal information.

    IRS form W-9 (.pdf) can be viewed at the IRS website for your reference.

    Non U.S. Business (No U.S. Activities )

    United States (U.S.) Activities involve having employees or owning equipment in the U.S. that are involved in any way with revenue earned through the Pay Per Play program. This includes, but is not limited to, owning a web server or owning a hosting service in the U.S., or having employees in the U.S. who are involved in either:

    1. setting up a web server, hosting service, or website
    2. developing content for your website
    3. marketing to create a user base for your site
    4. telephone support for your site
    5. buying products for your site
    6. maintaining your site

    Generally, utilizing an unrelated third-party U.S. web hosting service to host your web pages, renting web servers that are located in the U.S. from an unrelated third party, or having your payment sent to a U.S. Post Office Box or mail forwarding address, do not of themselves constitute U.S. Activities.

    If you do not have U.S. Activities, please visit the Tax Information page under your My Account tab where you will agree to a statement to that effect. No tax forms are required in this instance.

    Non U.S. Business (With U.S. Activities)

    If your business is located outside of the United States (U.S.), but you have U.S. Activities that are involved with your participation in the Pay Per Play program, you'll be asked to walk through steps designed to direct you to the appropriate tax form.

    You'll also need to provide a U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) as part of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forms. If you do not have a TIN, we suggest that you obtain one as soon as possible. Please note that the process of obtaining a TIN may take several weeks. You can visit the IRS website for more information on obtaining a U.S. TIN.

    Deadline for Submitting Your Tax Information

    Until we receive your tax information, NetAudioAds will hold all payments to you.

    If payment is held, you'll still be able to access your publisher account, show ads, and register earnings. You'll collect all revenue due to you under the NetAudioAds Pay Per Play Online Program Agreement once you have submitted your tax information. NetAudioAds will try to make such payments in the first payment cycle following your submission of this information (provided that you have met the $25 earnings threshold referenced in the NetAudioAds Pay Per Play Online Program Agreement).
