0% Royalty Withholding for Egyptian KDP Authors

Egyptian authors on Amazon KDP benefit from one of the best treaty rates in the world: 0% withholding on royalties under the 1981 US–Egypt tax treaty. To claim this rate, you must submit Form W-8BEN with a valid ITIN and cite Article 12 of the US–Egypt treaty.

Without an ITIN and W-8BEN, Amazon withholds 30% of every royalty payment. ITINPlus gets you the ITIN you need to access your full earnings.
