Do I have US activities if...

    I live in Canada but my server are in the US.

    I was wondering cuz I see on the adsense stats:

    United States (U.S.) Activities involve having employees or owning equipment in the U.S. that are involved in any way with revenue earned through the AdSense program. U.S. Activities include, but are not limited to, owning a web server or owning a hosting service in the U.S., or having employees in the U.S. who are involved in either:

    setting up your web server, hosting service, or website
    developing content for your website
    marketing to create a user base for your site
    telephone support for your site
    buying products for your site
    maintaining your site

    Generally, using an unrelated third-party United States (U.S.) web hosting service to host your web pages, renting web servers that are located in the U.S. from an unrelated third party, or having your payment sent to a U.S. Post Office Box or mail forwarding address, do not of themselves constitute U.S. Activities.

    So for the tax information that I need to give to Adsense does I have activities in the us ?

    No, you need to select "Foreign publisher with no U.S. Activities ".

    If you are working from Canada and your money is being sent to Canada, where your server is located doesn't matter (you don't have to pay American taxes because of having a server in the states ;)).

    Location of web host doesn't matter, just where you live.
