Agreements, tax, and banking overview

To sell subscriptions on Apple Podcasts and receive payments from Apple, a Legal user with the authority to sign documents on behalf of your company must complete the Apple Podcasters Program agreement by submitting the required forms.

Your organization’s legal entity, tax, and banking information must be provided, as well as contact information for employees in your organization who can address legal, financial, or marketing issues that may arise. U.S. tax forms are required, and tax forms for additional countries may be required.

In Apple Podcasts Connect, verify the Action column in Agreements, Tax, and Banking to see if there’s any more information we need to complete your agreement. If you need to accept any agreements and it has been more than 30 minutes since you signed in to Apple Podcasts Connect, you will be prompted to verify your identity again via two-factor authentication. Keep in mind, you must complete these steps to receive payments directly from Apple.

Invoices

The Invoices tab in Agreements, Tax, and Banking displays monthly recipient-created tax invoices available for download in select countries or regions. Recipient-created tax invoices are not applicable in all countries or regions. If you do not see any invoices in this tab, you do not have any recipient-created tax invoices available for download in your country or region.
