I just got a W8/W9 tax form request form my payment processor (2checkout its for my mainstream biz). Basically I have to fill it out or they will withhold 28% of everything.

Just wondering, since I do not even live in the USA I just use a USA payment processor, can they actually tax me?

I will look this up with my accountant of course but I would be interested in hearing other peoples experience with this, I am surely not the only one to get this?

Thanks for any info!
