    Suppliers Located outside of the United States PLEASE READ
    U.S. Federal Withholding Tax Information for Foreign Suppliers
    The United States government, through the United States Treasury which is the U.S. governmental agency responsible for tax collection and tax law enforcement, generally requires United States companies making payments to non-U.S. persons or companies to withhold 30% of payments subject to Non-Resident Alien (NRA) withholding.

    Not all payments are subject to withholding and the withholding rate may be reduced under certain tax code provisions or tax treaties. Any reduction of the 30% withholding tax is dependent upon obtaining a valid W-8 series form or 8233 identifying your status and declaring that you are eligible for an exemption or reduced withholding rate due to an income tax treaty between your country and the United States, if applicable. These forms will be required prior to engaging in business with Lilly or when a supplier’s existing form has expired.

    Lilly cannot provide income tax advice to you; however, we do want to make the U.S. tax compliance process as straightforward as possible. You can also review a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding the requirements and process. If after reading these instructions and reviewing the FAQs you have additional questions, we recommend that you consult your tax professional or you may refer to the website of the IRS which provides the appropriate forms and instructions you may need and informative publications that may be helpful to you. Of note, Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities and Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, may be beneficial.

    Taxpayers located outside the United States may also contact the IRS by mail, phone, or fax at the U.S. contact information below. Also, international offices are available and are listed here.
