" Hello,

This is an automated notification that is being sent to you because you may be eligible to claim tax treaty benefits which may reduce your tax withholding on royalty payments from the standard withholding tax rate of 30% to a reduced rate in accordance with US Tax treaty and your country of tax residence. In order to be eligible for treaty benefits, you are required to provide either a US Tax Identification Number (TIN) or your country of tax residency Foreign TIN. If you believe you are eligible for treaty benefits / reduced rate of tax withholding, please complete the tax interview and provide either your US TIN or Foreign TIN. In the meantime, we are required to begin deducting the maximum amount of US tax from your royalty payments.

To help protect the security of your taxpayer identification information, please do not respond to this e-mail with your tax identity information or share it over the phone. To correct your information, please log onto your Steam account, go to “Your Workshop Files” page and click “Enter or Update Your Payment Info” in the right-hand column where you can retake the tax interview.

Please note that Valve uses Lilaham, a third-party tax provider, to gather tax information.

Important Notice: Information in this document does not constitute tax, legal, or other professional advice. If you have other questions, please contact your tax, legal, or other professional advisor.

Thank you for your assistance.

That looks legit, as they are not asking you to click a link or open an attached file. Instead they ask you to fill out a form on Steam, again, without providing a link, instead instructions on how to find it.
