In order to remain compliant with tax laws, Google began collecting tax-related information from all AdSense publishers as of November 13, 2003.

Publishers will fall into one of three main tax categories

U.S. Business The payee is based in and pays taxes in the U.S.
Non U.S. Business (No U.S. Activities): The payee's operations related to participation in AdSense are based entirely outside of the U.S. and payee does not pay taxes in the U.S.
Non U.S. Business with U.S. Activities The payee is based outside of the U.S., but has equipment or employees in the U.S. that are involved with payee's participation in AdSense.
