Apply for Your ITIN — $99 →Mexico has one of the fastest-growing communities of Spanish-language Amazon KDP authors and YouTube creators monetizing US viewership. With a 10% royalty rate under the US-Mexico treaty, you keep 90% of every dollar Amazon or Google pays you — instead of 70% without an ITIN.
For YouTube: go to AdSense → Payments → Manage settings → US tax info → update tax information → select Mexico treaty → enter ITIN. The 10% rate applies to royalty-classified AdSense revenue from US viewers.
Mexican Amazon FBA sellers are the #1 non-English-language seller group on Amazon.com. The mandatory tax interview requires a W-8BEN. With ITIN properly submitted, business profits from Amazon FBA — where there is no US employee, office, or agent — are generally 0% US withholding under the treaty's business profits article.
ITIN Plus has helped hundreds of Mexican Amazon sellers complete their W-7 applications and get their accounts fully compliant. The $99 investment typically covers itself with the first month of reduced withholding.
Mexican nationals are significant investors in US real estate, particularly in Texas, California, and Florida. Under FIRPTA, the buyer must withhold 15% of the gross sale price when a Mexican resident sells US property. Filing Form 1040-NR with your ITIN after the sale lets you report your actual US tax liability and recover any over-withheld amount.
