    Tax Treaty USA-Italy
    Hello,

    I am an Italian resident and citizen and I now provide photographic services to clients in the US.

    I have to fill a W8-BEN form and I'm not sure whether I'm exempt from US tax withholding or not.

    Also, could anybody help with the section below?

    Special rates and conditions: The beneficial owner is claiming the provisions of Article of the treaty identified on line 9a above to claim a % rate of withholding on (specify type of income): .
    Explain the reasons the beneficial owner meets the terms of the treaty article:

    Thank you

    AMR
