Most important is the W 8BEN Form as without this form a payor may pay 30% witholding tax and equity gains will be exempt from the 30% withholding. Not sure what tax is applied as instructions did not specify so maybe the smarter SH can assist.

Complete and mail as directed.
At first I thought it's in the too hard basket but with a quick DD seems to be straight forward.
Will check with Westpac how the NASDAQ equities will appear on the platform. Maybe again some assistance from SHers that have dual platforms would be appreciated. Thx in advance
