Already Have a Tax ID?
If your business is already registered with the tax agency and you need Green Leaf to add the tax ID to your account, please submit a request to our Tax Department and select “Add or Remove Tax Jurisdiction” from the ticket-reason dropdown. Please include documentation from the agency confirming the tax ID and account information.

If your business is not yet registered, you may register directly with the applicable tax agency using the application links provided on this page.
