Amazon Tax Interview for UK business

[HCAZ72]

I am the sole director of a UK limited company which has been running for around 4 years. I want to set up an Amazon KDP account and fill out the tax interview so that I am compliant and also claim tax treaty benefits. My questions are:

1. Should my company be classed as a corporation? It also mentions another category called a disregarded entity but I don't think that applies; it seems to be how they categorise companies in the US and these entities submit their taxes on their personal tax returns (at least that's how I've interpreted it). Alternatively, it also says: '"Individual" includes Sole Proprietors or Single-Member LLCs where the owner is an individual' so I'm not sure if I need to tick Individual or Company.
   
   
2. I don’t think I’m an intermediary agent - my company will have the right to publish any works and my company will receive any royalties.
   
   
3. Is the non-US TIN value my company’s UTR number?
   
   
4. I'm assuming that the company is receiving 'derived income' as it's not 'fiscally transparent'? I also think the limitation on benefits should be 'Company with an item of income that meets active trade or business test'

Does anyone have experience of filling these in?

Many thanks in advance.

Depends - are you the author, or are you acting as an agent?

@japancool I / my company would be the author. I wouldn't be acting as agent.

You tick that it's a company. A UK registered company is no different in practice to a US registered company. Your company makes the engagement, not you.

The TIN is the company UTR.

I assume that you are completing a W8-BEN-E.
