Well, with free stuff there won't be any tax, just sign up with Smashwords and let the U.S. have their 30% of nothing.
If you want to side step the tax issues take a look at the options offered by BookBaby. When I was last with them (a year ago now) they would pay by paypal and they don't require a U.S. tax number. I never understood why it was different for them than for the others, but they're still going (and have been for many years in one form or another) so I presume it's legitimate.
(I had/have no particular complaints about BookBaby, other than being rather slow to respond to emails - a week or more. I parted from them when I came to release my second and third books because I wanted the options I could get with Smashwords and dealing with Amazon directly.)
