Why do I need a tax form (W-8BEN) to withdraw?

PayPal withdrawals need a W-8BEN tax form on file — it's a standard US form for people outside the US, and it's filled in right in the app (about 2 minutes): Wallet → Withdraw → tax form.

• You fill it once; the team checks it, then PayPal withdrawals work.
• Crypto and Truelancer withdrawals don't need it.
• Your tax details are encrypted and only used for the form.
