Catapult is a U.S.-based company, and we follow all U.S. laws to keep things running smoothly. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires us—and all U.S. companies—to collect tax information from anyone we pay, whether you’re an individual, business, or non-profit. That means every Catapult account needs to submit this tax info to receive payments.
If you're a U.S. citizen or resident alien, we’ll ask for details to complete a Form W-9. If you're not a U.S. citizen, it’s a Form W-8BEN instead. Don't worry—it's straightforward!
We've made the process super easy. Just head to your Catapult Dashboard, and we'll guide you through submitting your tax details electronically. Need a hand? Check our support articles for tips, or reach out to a local tax professional for personalized advice.
*Per IRS regulations, Forms W-8BEN expire every three years, so a new one will need be submitted again after that time period for non-US citizens.
