Effective 6/3, the collection and upload of W-8s for foreign entities (foreign corporations,
partnerships, governments, exempt organizations, private foundations, etc.) will be supported in the
new Buy-to-Pay Supplier Portal. W-8 forms are used as part of setting up foreign entities for payment; and most foreign suppliers will have them readily available, similar to how the W-9 form is provided by U.S. suppliers. General W-8 reference materials will be available by 6/3.
For questions about W-8 forms, please contact Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance team at: nratax_ufs@harvard.edu
For general questions regarding supplier set-up, please contact the Vendor Set-Up team at: vendorsetup_ufs@harvard.edu
