Massive Edit: I'm putting this at the top as its that big of an info changer. The article linked is for value added tax being CHARGED to a business buying ads or services from google. Not YouTube partner program/adsense payouts. This is a VAT being charged to you for buying ads, since if your business is in Kuwait you purchase from YouTube Ireland. again NOT THE YOUTUBE PARTNER PROGRAM. All other information still valid
Ireland cannot charge her VAT if the billing address is outside the EU. so if she does use a kuwait address she would not be charged by Ireland. Kuwait has no such VAT or otherwise for her to calculate.
So, if the banking account is under Salah in Kuwait, they will have US taxes withheld from any ad views/memberships/super chats originating in the united states (most of her audience is US based). Canada can still make a claim that she is earning the income and also continue to rack up her Canadian unpaid taxes as well. By switching she basically puts herself inot the line of 2 sets of taxation instead of just Canada
Ireland is irrelevant to the US taxes. The new law is that if an ad view, super chat, or membership comes from the United States you owe US income tax on it regardless of where you are, or who serves you, unless you fall under a tax treaty. Kuwait has no tax treaties. If Canada somehow fucked up and ended its tax treaty with the US she would be paying those taxes if she still lived in the Villa and never went to Kuwait.I posted information about YouTube & Kuwait taxes. According to an article found on Google regarding Kuwait: Your account is served by Google Ireland Ltd., but Google can't charge VAT if your billing address is in a country that's not part of the European Union. Since her billing address will now be in Kuwait, does that mean she will not owe any taxes since Kuwait has 0 tax liability for its citizens?

-Edit: I should also add that if she only changed the billing address & the channel is still in her name, won't she still owe taxes to Canada?
