So I am movin to the next forum - I have got the acceptance mail and I am "in" 🙂
Probably will not read this part of forum again.
Here are my notes from this stage - maybe it helps somebody.
registering for EIN at IRS (ITIN may be a bit harder and costlier depending wherever you are located)
EIN - companies , ITIN - individuals - there are tax issues for both - have a consultation at you local tax advisor.
plan ahead - it does take time - it may take as little as 2 weeks - in reality it takes 2 months.
Do the initial registration at IRS over phone - it saves nerves - people are sufficiently good and patient there.
Save money and call through SKYPE - it took me 2 eur for 2 hour (total) conversations with the IRS - you just need sufficient inet speed.
have some moderate to good English speaking person doing the talking - it speeds things up.
As per some other posts in this forum - state to the IRS person""I am calling from country XXXX. I need to register for EIN for tax witholdin purposes as I am applying to book distribution through Apple iTunes"
have an alphabet prompt before you (non English speaking persons usually just stalls at this) - so you are able to spell everything like for example ALBANIA = Apple, Lion, Bat, Apple, New, iMAc, Apple (or whatever 🙂 )
you will get the EIN recited back to you by the polite person on the other end of phone at the end of registration - at that moment and probably till you receive the letter (snail mail through your local post office) the EIN may just be unusable for you. It is not a problem - it is just how the system works.
Peace and patience.
