The requirement to document where you're sending your money to is not limite dto just w8 and w9 forms.
And the fact that some 'foreign' affiliates refuse to fill out w8 forms (that don't apply to them) does not mean they're not paying there taxes.
I pay my taxes. My company pays it taxes. And I've never filled out a w8 form. I would be committing an act of fraud if I did fill out a w8 form.
