Google Tax interview questions
« on: January 03, 2018, 04:14:18 PM »
I've filled out these tax interviews on a dozen sites now, and never had an issue answering the questions. But Google is asking me if I'm a corporation, an intermediary, or a tax exempt entity, and I'm none of those. I'm a sole proprietor. Anyone else filled this out and know what the correct answer is?

This is weird. Google takes your Australian TFN and that's it, like Kobo. I've never had to fill in a form.

You have to fill in a set of questions to give them your tax file number.

Apparently the answer is corporation, which takes you to the form where you can enter it. I told the support guy the question was very confusing, and they should consider changing it!

Gosh, I don't think you want to be a corporation. Won't that subject you to US taxation?

My Google account dates back to the days of Google Books. Perhaps that question didn't exist at the time. I'll go have a look at it.

This is for Google Play, right?

Later: sorry, no, there's no indication of my filing status when I look at my Account page.
