Sorry, I don’t. Don’t even know that you can. I’ve got payments set up to go into
my Canadian dollar accounts from PayPal, CJ, Clickbank, etc.

I know, it’s a pain.

Cheers,

Do you have experience withdrawing USD funds from PayPal to your USD bank account in Canada – with no exchange rate?

Thanks.

me again. US tax issues are resolved, much easier than I dared think! On LinkShare’s site, I simply selected the W-8BEN form from a drop down list, checked a box confirming my exemption, and hit “save”. That easy. Yeehaw!

What freaked me a tad was the box for the dreaded tax numbers, which they did not require at all. I simply left them blank, as per the linkShare rep’s directions. Not what I’m used to doing with any government doc. But hey.

Bottom line: knickers now untwisted, much more comfortable now

ciao,

Mike

I am a Canadian like yourself, and am ready to go online with my first affiliate website. All that remains for me to begin getting paid by LinkShare is to submit my tax info. I spoke with my accountant about taxes, and he thinks Canadians need to submit form W-8BEN to the IRS, effectively exempting me from paying US taxes on top of Canadian.

In your experience, is this correct?

I understand you’re not a tax accountant, and I certainly won’t take any commentary or observations you may post as actual legal advice. I just wondered how you, as a successful affiliate marketer, navigated the swing sets in this fun little international tax playground.

Please, if you can, reassure me I won’t be double taxed! Yikes!

thanks a ton,

Really good to know. I was of the impression that it cost U.K. affiliates an exhorbitant sum just to be able to cash U.S. cheques.

As India continues to emerge as an ecommerce force, I would hope and expect that you and other Indian affiliates will soon share the same type of banking services available to Canadian, U.K. and other affiliates.

You’re absolutely right. It would be nice if the price would come up in US dollars – the price normally shown to customers – and leave it up to them to choose to pay in their native currency if they so choose. Hmm… a letter to Clickbank may be in order?

Cheers,

I bank at RBC and CIBC and have US dollar cards with both. RBC is actually better about being able to access accounts online and making payments is much easier with their system.

Hope that helps!
