Why Brazilian Music Artists Need a US ITIN

  • Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal — US music streaming platforms withhold tax from non-US artists without ITIN.
  • DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby — US music distribution companies require W-8BEN with ITIN for international artists.
  • US record label advances & royalties — Contracts with US labels require ITIN for royalty payment processing.
  • Performance royalties (ASCAP, BMI) — US PROs withhold royalties from non-US members without valid ITIN.
  • YouTube music monetization — YouTube Music / Content ID royalties require ITIN via Google's tax interview.
⚠️ No US–Brazil Tax Treaty: Brazil has no income tax treaty with the United States. Your ITIN is still required for IRS compliance and W-8BEN filings, but standard US withholding rates apply.

⚠️ Only a CAA Can Certify Your Documents — Don't Risk Rejection

Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your passport, file your W-7, and track your application to the IRS directly. You never mail your original passport.

Music Royalties & ITIN for Brazilian Artists

Brazilian music is globally popular — and Brazilian artists are increasingly earning royalties from US streaming platforms, US music distribution services, and US performance rights organizations (PROs). All of these US-based entities are required by the IRS to withhold tax on royalty payments to non-US artists without a valid ITIN on file.

With a valid ITIN and W-8BEN form, Brazilian artists can submit their non-US status to each platform and potentially reduce withholding on eligible royalty types. ITIN Plus helps Brazilian musicians get their ITIN in 8–14 weeks — so your music earnings arrive complete, not docked by unnecessary withholding.
