Frequently asked questions
Do affiliate networks require a business entity?
Not always, but many high-ticket programs and direct deals require a business registration and VAT/EIN number.
Can I deduct ad spend through my company?
Yes. Business advertising expenses are typically deductible, consult an accountant for your jurisdiction.
Which is better, UK Ltd or US LLC for affiliates?
US LLC is better for US-based networks (CJ, ShareASale, Impact) and tax form simplicity. UK Ltd is better if most of your networks are EU/UK based.
How does the W-8BEN-E work?
As a foreign-owned US LLC or UK Ltd, you complete a W-8BEN-E for US affiliate networks, declaring you are a foreign entity and claiming the appropriate treaty rates on withholding.
