Tax and banking are not chosen on this page

Apple asks for tax and banking information when you are paid. Guyi does not select a form, including any W-8 form, and does not give tax advice. Read Apple's current page and your own adviser if you need one.

What belongs in the handover

The membership handover is login, recovery, two-factor, the renewal date, the app list, and the members. Whether a banking profile already exists is a fact you can ask to see. It is not a promise that payouts will arrive or that a paid app will be approved.

Do not send documents first

Do not send a tax form, an ID scan, or a card photo in the first message. If the payment profile does not match the legal name or the legal entity, stop and write that mismatch. Do not assume the country of the bank can replace the country on the membership.

Questions

Will Guyi tell me which tax form to file?

No. That choice is outside this site.

Is a filled banking page part of every empty account?

Only if it is written in the spec. Empty does not imply a payout setup.
