Recipients are required to submit tax information before receiving payments. This is collected during onboarding and kept on file for future payments.

​
What’s required

U.S. recipients: W-9 form and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) International recipients: W-8 form and country-specific tax details

​
How it works

During onboarding, you’ll enter your information and electronically sign your tax form. Karat then verifies your details, which may include identity checks, sanctions screening, and TIN matching for U.S. users. Payments may be delayed if your tax information is incomplete or incorrect. Tax forms are updated automatically if your information changes. Recipient tax information onboarding
