ITIN for Fiverr Sellers in Saudi Arabia: Get Paid Your Full Rate
Fiverr has transformed how Saudi Arabia talent reaches global clients. Thousands of Saudi sellers — from logo designers and video editors to programmers and voice actors — earn thousands of dollars monthly through Fiverr gigs. But without an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) and Form W-8BEN, Fiverr is required to withhold up to 30% of your earnings as a Saudi Arabia seller.
⚠️ No US-Saudi Arabia Tax Treaty:Saudi Arabia has no comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. US payers must withhold 30% of payments to Saudi residents who cannot certify their foreign status via Form W-8BEN with a valid ITIN.
Fiverr's Tax Policy for Saudi Arabia Sellers
Fiverr's US entity pays all sellers through its American payment infrastructure. Under IRS rules, it must collect tax information from foreign sellers. Saudi Arabia sellers without a valid ITIN will have:
- Up to 30% withheld from withdrawals to their Fiverr balance
- Potential account restrictions if tax information is not provided
- Form 1042-S issued at year end showing withheld amounts
🚀 Vision 2030 & USD Income:Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is creating a new generation of digital entrepreneurs. Earning in USD from US platforms gives you global purchasing power — but you need an ITIN to receive your full income without 30% US withholding cutting into your earnings.

Can I sell on Fiverr from Saudi Arabia without an ITIN?
You can sell, but Fiverr will withhold up to 30% of your earnings. For high-volume Fiverr sellers in Saudi Arabia, this means significant income loss every month. Getting an ITIN through ITIN Plus for $99 is the most cost-effective way to protect your full Fiverr income.
