Tax Identity

Tax Identity, a solution developed by Lilaham, Inc., helps organizations manage tax identification processes and reduce risks related to withholding and information-reporting penalties. Its applications support both payees and back-office staff in collecting and validating tax identity information against relevant IRS W-8 and W-9 series documentation. Payees can submit their information through a secure extranet login, where an interview-style process guides data entry and validation.

Alternatively, they can mail a completed W-8 or W-9 form for entry into the Tax Identity back-office module. The company states that its solutions meet the requirements of IRS Publication 515. Tax Identity also provides information and resources related to tax identification numbers, FATCA model intergovernmental agreements, and the OECD Common Reporting Standard.

Its broader compliance offerings include content on FATCA, CRS, DAC 7, and KYC, alongside FAQs and information about the company. By combining digital submission options with back-office tools, Tax Identity is designed to help organizations establish rules-based procedures for gathering and reviewing payee tax information
