A W-8BEN form is used by investors who wish to invest in US domiciled instruments (such as most shares on the US Stock Exchanges) and want to benefit from the double taxation agreement that is available in many countries. For most European countries the Tax Treaty is 15% as opposed to 30% in Non Tax Treaty countries. It is important to update your W-8BEN Form every 3 years.
