Am I able to set up an amazon kdp account if i do not have tax information?
Amazon requires all publishers, including nonprofit or tax-exempt organizations, to provide valid taxpayer identification in compliance with the U.S. tax reporting regulations. Tax withholding and specific requirements vary based on whether you are a U.S. person or non-U.S. person. Once you got an account and published your book, there’s a form you can fill out as a non US citizen. I did it when I first published a book there and afterwards I didn’t have to pay the US taxes. Make sure to check whether your country has a double taxation agreement with the US. If it does, filling out the form will be enough to get you out of that tax.
To the best of my knowledge you can proceed to publish on amazon kdp even without your tax information. You have the option of filling it out later. But no, you are not able to obtain your royalties until you fill it out. However, if you do not have income tax in your country, they do have a form you can fill out and sign electronically stating that your country has no income tax or withholding. This makes you liable to your country and your country can use that form to take you to court if they do have income tax afterall.
