Hi All,
I am a Canadian Citizen and a IT Consultant.
Starting a Corp-to-Corp (My Canadian Company with a US Company) TN contract project from November 2018. The American company will directly wire my expenses & rate to my Canada bank account.
Which form do I fill up..W-8BEN or W-BECI ? A bit confused. When is either of the forms applicable ?
Regards,
Rajan Murthy

Re: W-8BEN-E vs W-8ECI
Since the US entity is paying the Cdn entity, and not you as an individual, you need to file a W-8BEN-E, to claim treaty exemptions.
