As a US Corporation, The3dStudio.com must comply with all US tax laws. Sellers can sell their products or give them away for free without entering their Tax ID Number, but they cannot be paid for any products until they enter their Tax ID Number.

Sellers who are "United States Persons" as defined by the IRS, should enter their Social Security Number (XXX-XX-XXXX) as their Tax ID Number. Sellers who are a business or corporation should enter their Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Sellers who are "Foreign Persons" as defined by the IRS, are subject to a 30% tax on royalties earned from US source payments—orders from customers in the US. Non-US or Foreign sellers will NOT be taxed on orders sold to customers outside the US.

Foreign Sellers who choose to accept this 30% tax rate on US orders should fill out Part I, and Part IV of the W-8BEN form and send it to T3DS as described below.

Foreign Sellers in a country that has a tax treaty with the US can claim the tax treat benefit and receive a reduced tax rate (see list below) on US Sales. To do this they must get a US Tax ID Number, fill out all parts of the W-8BEN form and send it to T3DS.

To get a US Tax ID Number, fill out form W-7 and send it to the US IRS--do not send it to T3DS. For more information read IRS Topic 857 and Publication 1915 which has the IRS mailing address. There is no cost to get a US Tax ID Number. NOTE: When you submit a W-7 form to the IRS you may want to include the T3DS tax letter with your W-7.

The W-8BEN is valid starting the date you sign it, and it expires the last day of the following calendar year. It is the seller’s responsibility to make sure T3DS always has a valid W-8BEN form on file. Failure to provide updated forms will cause your royalty payments to stop until we receive the updated form.

We must receive your W-8BEN by the 25th of the month to guarantee you will be paid the next month. If we receive your W8BEN after the 25th, your payment will be delayed until the following payment period.

After you complete the W-8BEN, scan it and upload it via our contact form or mail it to...

Please note: You can still upload your files and create products and sell your products without filling out any tax information or completing any forms. We just can't pay you until we have this information.
