Don't you read the form??? It's all in there, in clear writing, easy to read - try it, you might like it!
A W8-Ben is to show the American Tax Authority, Internal Revenue Services (IRS), why the sponsor are not withholding any taxes for you or anyone else who submits a W8-Ben form.
If the sponsor does not have one of those, they are really required to withhold taxes on all payments sent, since you'd be assumed to be a US tax subject. A W8-Ben is where you declare that you are not a US tax subject and thus can be paid out the full amount with no taxes withheld, since you are responsible for the taxes in your own country.
