Virtual Assistant · Upwork · W-8BEN | IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent

✅ US–Egypt Tax Treaty (Active since 1981): Egypt has an active income tax treaty with the United States. Royalties are withheld at 0%, dividends at 5%/15%, and interest at 15% with a valid ITIN + W-8BEN filed with your US payer.

⚠️ Only use an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA): A CAA can certify your original documents so you don't need to mail your passport to the IRS. ITINPlus operates as a CAA — we handle everything remotely via email.

Why Egyptian Virtual Assistants Need a US ITIN

VA platforms require W-8BEN for non-US workers
ITIN certifies foreign status and prevents backup withholding
US clients may require W-8BEN before processing VA payments
ITIN valid for all US client contracts and platforms
Required if you form a US LLC for your VA business

US Tax Compliance for Egyptian Virtual Assistants

Egyptian virtual assistants working with US clients through Upwork or direct contracts need an ITIN to complete Form W-8BEN. Service income from VA work is typically classified as business income rather than royalties, so treaty rates vary by income type. An ITIN is still required to certify foreign status.
