Provide Brazil tax information
Brazilian tax information is required if you’re based in Brazil. You must provide either a CNPJ, a 14-digit number issued to companies or organizations, or a CPF, an 11-digit number issued to individuals. If you’re based outside of Brazil and have a CPF or CNPJ, this field is optional.
If you’re based outside of Brazil or the United States you also have the option to provide a local tax ID, a tax processing number issued to you by the tax authority in your country or region of residence. If you’re based in the United States, you won’t need to provide your U.S tax ID again, because you’ve already provided this information in the U.S Tax Forms section.
If you’re based outside of Brazil and your country or region of residence has a tax treaty agreement with Brazil, you may also upload your tax residency certificate. If you don’t provide a certificate, your sales in Brazil may be subject to the applicable withholding tax at the standard rate. If your region is denied under the Brazilian legislation, no reduced rate of withholding is available. Contact your tax authority if you have questions regarding how to obtain a tax residency certificate.
Your withholding tax rate won’t be reduced until your tax residency certificate is received and reviewed for applicable treaty benefits between Brazil and your country or region of residence. You can start selling content in Brazil (assuming you’ve submitted all required banking and tax information), but payments will be subject to the applicable withholding tax at the standard rate until your residency certificate is reviewed and tax rate benefits are confirmed.
