Do you submit to Fotolia only? Many other sites require you to fill in taxforms as well (SS, DT, Veer, BigStock,...).
How to fill it in depends a bit on where you live and whether you operate as individual or company. The Shutterstock forums has a tax-section in which it gets described clearly how to fill in the forms (per country). Maybe you can take a look there:

Hi Artemis
I live in Ipswich,so thats uk and joined as an indivdual. I submit to mediastock.co.uk and they have NO tax forms.
Thanks for your help tho.

I believe the UK has a tax treaty with the US so if you fill in the W-8 form no taxes should be witheld from your sales. This link probably is handier than digging through the taxforum on SS:

Its from Shutterstock, but taxforms are the same for all agencies and you can find detailed info here on how to fill it in correctly.
