Memorandum Receipt Form

This is what I'm working with right now until I can get a better suited receipt book to use.

You are required to complete a Form W-8BEN if you are a non-resident alien and earned Royalty income (in this case) from a US-based source.The purpose of the form is to alert the IRS to the fact you are earning income from the US, even though you are not a citizen or a resident of the US. The US is entitled to tax revenues from your US-based earnings and would, without the form, have no way of knowing about you or your income.To ensure they receive their “fair” share, they require the payor to withhold 30% of the payment due to you, before issuing a check for the remainder to you. If they don’t withhold and/don’t report the payment to you, they may not be able to deduct the payment as an expense, and are subject to penalties for failing to withhold - not to mention forced to pay the 30% amount over and above what they pay to you. They therefore will not release any payment without receiving the Form W-8BEN.Now, Nepal happens not to have a tax treaty with the US. If it did and you were subject to Nepalese taxes on that income, you could claim a credit for the taxes paid to another country, up to the entire amount of the tax. Even still, you are entitled to file a US Form 1040N, as the withholding is charged on the gross proceeds and there may be expenses that can be deducted from that amount before arriving at the actual tax due. In that way, you may be entitled to a refund of some or all of the backup withholding.That is another reason why you file the form - it allows you to file a return in order to apply for a refund.In order to complete the form, you can go to the IRS website to read the instructions, or simply go here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/...

Make it compellingQuickly and clearly make these points:Who you are and why you are doing thisHow long it takesWhats in it for me -- why should someone help you by completing the surveyExample: "Please spend 3 minutes helping me make it easier to learn Mathematics. Answer 8 short questions for my eternal gratitude and (optional) credit on my research findings. Thank you SO MUCH for helping."Make it convenientKeep it shortShow up at the right place and time -- when people have the time and inclination to help. For example, when students are planning their schedules. Reward participationOffer gift cards, eBooks, study tips, or some other incentive for helping.Test and refineTest out different offers and even different question wording and ordering to learn which has the best response rate, then send more invitations to the offer with the highest response rate.Reward referralsIf offering a reward, increase it for referrals. Include a custom invite link that tracks referrals.

How did you learn about us?Rumors about rural houses having little Security.Location: 5/10Location was alright. Around 500 meters to the nearest neighbor. But unfortunately an hour away from any sizable population (20,000 plus being a sizable population.)Transportation: 10/10Transportation was top notch. The owners of the property never lock their Minivan or Pick-up truck. The keys are always left in the vehicles. Both are moderately new and somewhat non-descriptive so a perfect getaway vehicle. Not only did they provide vehicles they also kept trailers in a easily accessible unlocked shed.Security: 9/10Security was lax. There is a gate but it isn’t locked. Doors aren’t locked unless the house is left unoccupied for more than 2 weeks. No cameras made it really easy. They did have a dog which made it a bit of a pain. He was easily disposed of as he was just a Labrador Retriever puppy. Owners are very light sleepers don’t rob if they’re around.Products: 10/10No place has better selection. The place had 3 DSLR cameras, 3 Workstation class desktops, 3 tablets, 4 drones, 6 Smartphones, 9 external monitors and 11 laptops. All of the items were of premium design and value (aka Apples or equivalent). The freezers and shelves were well stocked the rest of the property was much more appealing though.They also had a shop on the property with many tools ranging from mechanics to carpentry to fabrication. The tools were of medium quality. The shop also stored 2 ATV for added convenience. The shop wasn’t the jackpot though.The shed was the real treasure trove. This drive in shed held heavy equipment all with the keys in the ignition for easy accessibility. The average equipment’s value was around $100,000, with a combined value of around $1.5 Million. Unfortunately the heavy equipment is hard to transport and the market is too small to get away with it.The products all seemed gift wrapped for the taking. Everything was easy to find as it looked organized.Laws in the area: 10/10Owners aren’t allowed to use lethal force or even have a premeditated weapon for self defense. A robber in the area once accidentally locked himself into the garage place he was robbing. As the owners did not come home for a couple days he resorted to eating dog food. The end result was the owners were charged for negligence of the robber. Laws almost protect us. Owners are not supposed to attack us in any way or they may be charged.Would you recommend to your friends?If everybody is gone a resounding yes. Unfortunately that’s not very often as the house is occupied by Home-schooling kids, a Writer and the owner is a farmer who mostly works on property. Also if you intend to use brute force, bring a weapon. All the occupants are big. The average height is around 6 feet.BTW bring friends to help loot. It really requires a team of people to loot the place.
