IRS Tax Form W-9
Do I Need A W-9 For My BriteBiz Service?
The short answer is No you don't. Read further to understand why.
What is Form W-9?
The US IRS tax form W-9 is used to collect and verify the necessary information from US-based independent contractors and vendors. When tax season approaches, employers issue these forms to their independent workers and keep the completed document in their premises. Note that employers/companies aren’t bound to submit the form to the IRS, but they need to have it.
What Companies Need To Collect W-9's?
Only US-based companies need to collect Forms W-8 or W-9. If a company is based outside of the US, there’s no need to collect them.
Do I Need To Collect A W-9 From BriteBiz?
No you don't. BriteBiz is a cloud-based application and all billing is managed through our Billing HQ offices in Ireland in Europe. Because our corporate billing entity is not US-based and there is no associated TIN number (Tax Identification Number), there is no need to collect a W-9 for your BriteBiz service.
