In order to entitle for 8% WHT, you need to submit Certificate of Residence (COR), also known as Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), as a supporting document. This is to prove that Google, LinkedIn is a Singapore tax resident and Facebook is an Ireland tax resident.

Do take note that COR is only valid for a year so you need to have the copy for every year if you are claiming for 8% WHT.
