Global payments platform Tipalti has launched a comprehensive W-8 tool to facilitate the tax filing process for firms with foreign or undocumented service providers.
Integrated on Tipalti’s platform, the new tool starts out by selecting the W-8 collection paperwork required in each individual scenario.
It then verifies that the SSN and EIN numbers inputed match the IRS’s database, produces tax withholding instructions and automatically adjusts to filing requirement changes through its cloud-based system.
The W-8 tool has been reviewed by KPMG and found to be IRS-compliant, the company stated in a Tuesday press release.
