The W-8BEN form is used by non-U.S. persons (individuals or entities) to:
Certify their foreign status (i.e., that they are not U.S. persons).
Claim tax treaty benefits between the U.S. and their home country (India, in your case). So. Submit the W-8BEN form to the U.S. financial institution or brokerage handling your U.S. investments. This will ensure you are paying the reduced U.S. withholding tax rate on your U.S. income.
When you file your tax returns in India, you can claim a credit for the U.S. taxes paid. This is done through the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC), which helps offset the taxes you owe to India. You won’t get taxed twice on the same income. When you report your income from U.S. stocks, make sure to include the U.S. withholding tax as well. Claim the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) in India for the taxes already paid to the U.S. to avoid double taxation.
