To Whom It May Concern,

I am (Name), a citizen of Pakistan currently residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

I am claiming the U.S.–Pakistan tax treaty benefit under the Form W-8BEN as a Pakistani tax resident. My permanent and legal address for tax purposes is in Pakistan. I have included the following documents to support this claim:

1. Pakistani CNIC (National Identity Card)
2. Pakistani Passport
3. Utility Bill from Pakistan (in my name, showing my address)

Although I currently reside in the UAE for work, my permanent address and tax residence remain in Pakistan. I respectfully request the approval of my tax treaty claim and ask that future tax withholding be reduced according to the U.S.–Pakistan tax treaty.

I also noticed that ($ 10) was already withheld from my recent YouTube payment under backup withholding (30%). I understand that past deductions cannot be reversed, but I hope this clarification ensures the correct tax rate is applied going forward.

Sincerely,
Your Name
Pakistani Address: [House No. 10, Street No. 10, ----------- , --------, Lahore, Pakistan]
Date: dd - July - 2025
