I am part of a small outsourcing company and have providing service to clients in the USA for a few years. The work is entirely carried out in India and we only employ Indian nationals to do it.
Recently we bagged a medium sized account and during finalization of contract the Client asked us to provide him with a W-9 form.
As a non U.S. person and a non U.S. company I am not sure whether we are required to provide that. An alternative appears to be the W-8BEN, but I am not sure whether even that is applicable in our case. I shall appreciate any advise that I can get. Thanks
