Important Facts:
Vendor:
A vendor is an entity or a person who will receive payment from UWF for goods or services. All vendors must be registered and entered in UWF's Banner system in order for payment to be processed to the vendor.
Foreign Vendors:
Due to Intenal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements, a foreign vendor must also provide UWF their applicable IRS W-8 Form. If a Foreign Vendor is being registered:
- It is the UWF Employee's responsibility to either obtain the applicable IRS W-8 Form from the Foreign Vendor (and then forward the IRS W-8 Form to Procurement).
Student Vendor Registration:
The following information is not required, but helpful in processing Student Vendors:
- FEI/TIN (9-digit Tax Identification Number) OR SSN (if Individual or Sole Proprietor);
- Student UWF ID (9-digit number beginning with 97);
- Telephone Number; and,
- Email Address - Note: Although the email address is not required, it is very important, especially for foreign vendors to provide an email address. If you do not provide the foreign vendor's email address, you (UWF Employee) are then responsible for trying to obtain that foreign vendor's required IRS W-8 form.
