University of California, San Francisco
Tax Identification Number

UCSF’s tax identification number is 94-6036493

Procedures for utilizing the tax identification number

EXAMPLES:

A doctor teaches a seminar and payment is being made to UCSF.  The company paying UCSF will request a W-9 so Federal and State Income taxes do not have to be withheld from the payment.  A request to the Controller’s Office for a W-9 would be appropriate.
A department purchases supplies/services from a company.  The company requests a tax exemption number in order to avoid charging taxes on the invoice.  This would NOT be an appropriate request for W-9.  

Please contact Jeffrey Yepsen to discuss the particular situation in your department if you believe your department may need to establish a separate tax identification number.
Please note the tax identification number is NOT a sales and use tax exemption.  If you are making a purchase and have a question on sales and use tax please contact Lihua Gu.
