How to declare tax information for a US Google Play developer account? How to declare US taxes for Google Play without an SSN number?

This is GGZC. We have mentioned a lot about tax declaration issues for Google developer US accounts in previous topics. For some reasons, some non-American developers/developers who do not work or live in the United States need to use a developer account in the United States. At this time, they must register as a Google Play developer in the United States. To successfully register as a Google Play developer, you must first complete Google developer identity verification.

After successfully registering a Google Play US developer account, you must complete Taiwan tax information and US tax information declarations before you can receive payment. If the above two taxes are not completed, you will not receive payment from Google.

Among them, Taiwan tax information is a relatively simple operation, while US tax information is more troublesome; if it is a US account (US identity verification has been completed), in principle, the SSN number of the American with this identity verification is required to submit the tax review, otherwise It failed the review.

Can Chinese users complete tax declarations with a U.S. account without a U.S. SSN?
Even if we do not have a U.S. SSN number, we can still use mainland China identity information to declare U.S. account tax information. We can use W-8ben tax form and enjoy a 10% tax rate. If we use American identity + American SSN to declare taxes, The tax rate is up to 30%.
