We are located in India and am a proprietorship and we sell videogame codes to company in US ,they are asking us to fill W8-BEN form before making wire transfer payment in USD to our bank ,we wish to know if we become liable to pay any tax to the US govt for this or if we are exempt/ 0 % tax ?

The W-8BEN is an IRS mandated form to collect correct Nonresident Alien (NRA) taxpayer information for individuals for reporting purposes and to document their status for tax reporting purpose. Information collected to know residential status for taxation purpose. Mostly you will be exempt being non resident.

You will not be liable to pay any tax to the US government directly. If your buyer is not deducting any tax on your payment it's exempt.
