When doing business with Government entities, is there a suggestion on how departments can get a signed W9?
All Commonwealth Cities, Towns Counties and regional school districts currently reside in the vendor/customer file (VCUST). For out-of-state entities, check the file first and if not registered provide a copy of the W9 form to your vendors and have them complete it through their own channels. The Commonwealth routinely receives these as well. Then return the form to the Comptrollers Office as soon as possible. When doing business with Commonwealth departments or agencies, please use interdepartmental billing functions. The seller agencies will have already been established by CTR for your use as a buyer agency, W9s are not required for intergovernmental business.
