Tax forms for suppliers

IBM requires all suppliers to provide a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) before any service-related payments can be processed. To avoid delays, suppliers must ensure their tax forms are accurate and share the latest version with their IBM contact or upon request from the IBM supplier maintenance team.

The exemption certificates should only be used for purchases that are exempted by the law or that are intended for resale (lease) by IBM or IBM Credit LLC. IBM does not currently issue blanket exemption certificates; therefore, all exemption certificates on this website refer to individual purchases.

If you are a supplier who needs different settings or specific requirements regarding the contents of our exemption certificates, please contact a buyer. Buyer information can be obtained by visiting How to become a supplier.
