Why is my W8 form invalid?

We have had a number of creators whose W8 forms have come back as rejected. In almost all cases, the individuals have claimed to accepted the 30% withholding and have not provided an ITIN. Despite this, they are receiving notice that their W8 form is invalid due to a missing ITIN/EIN. So why is this happening?
The W8 forms are typically rejected if an individual has checked the following section of the W8:
This says you want to take benefit of the tax treaty. By US law though, in order to take benefit of a tax treaty you do need to provide an ITIN. If you don’t provide an ITIN on the form then the form is seen as invalid. Please ensure when completing the form that you fill in the sections that are relevant to you; if you do not have a ITIN number, you should not select “a”, otherwise your form will be rejected and you will NOT be paid!
Any questions about W8 forms should be asked on our forums.
