Good morning. I'm working on a subaward on a National Institutes of Justice award to an Australian university. I'm hoping for advice on how to issue payment to the company without withholding taxes. They are required to get a DUNS number, right? Do we also need an EIN? I'm not great a interpreting IRS instructions but it seems that if they fill out form W-8BEN and indicate which tax treaty applies to the payment we won't need to withhold.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks for any assistance, I don't have much experience with international subawards on federal grants.
