Digging deeper into the Amazon DTP site I found this little nugget (emphasis mine):
International publishers may choose to enter a tax identification number and email their form W-8BEN to dtp-support@amazon.com to reduce tax withholdings (for those countries that have a tax treaty with the United States of America.)
Downside of the 'mailed check' route is that you have to have more than $100 owed you and it will only be paid 60 days from the end of the calendar month:
...$100 or more for check payment) approximately sixty (60) days following the end of the calendar month during which applicable sales of your content occur
Hope this has helped someone out who is not part of the United States of Everything  |
Bless you! Thanks for that, I'll do some more digging myself now... Hmm...
