I have recently received the W-8BEN form relating to withholding tax on U.S. company shares which I own. I have received these at regular intervals for many years. However this one is requesting D.O.B. and Foreign Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). This appears to be a new requirement as I was never asked for it previously. I was wondering if others on this forum have completed this new format. I am tax compliant but I am nervous of what appears to be harvesting of information
