>>>Our accounting department requires us to have a W8ben or W9 on file for all of our vendors. However, we regularly encounter foreign vendors who do not understand or want to fill out the W8. We recently had a vendor from France who said that they sell to lots of other public universities in the US, yet they have never been asked to fill one out. It made me start wondering if other universities are actually required to do this?
Any information would be welcome!<<<
Thanks,
Christine
I have one question; does this W8-ben need to be filled out only the *first* time by the foreign vendor, or *each* time you make a purchase from said vendor? Thanks.
