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.

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:
-
setting up a web server, hosting service, or
website
-
developing content for your website
-
marketing to create a user base for your site
-
telephone support for your site
- buying
products for your site
-
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).
