On June 28, 2023, the IRS released a draft version of the Form W-8EXP. Note that the Rev. date is October 2023, so organizations should start to plan for any changes, including collecting and validating the new Form W-8EXP. As expected, there are updates related to the FIRPTA withholding (Sec 1445), with new sections added and revisions made to the Certification section of the form. Draft instructions have not been released at this time.
