U.S. Withholding Tax Documentation Analysis

U.S. withholding tax documentation is the foundation for most U.S. withholding tax decisions that a U.S. withholding agent is required to make. Valid and complete withholding tax documentation generally allows the withholding agent to apply an exemption or reduced rate of withholding tax. The U.S. withholding agent may be responsible for any under-withheld tax, interest, and penalties associated with incomplete or invalid withholding tax documentation from a foreign income recipient.

Issues to Consider

When is the withholding tax documentation

 needed?

Can my fund or company make these

efforts in conjunction with our Common

Reporting Standard ("CRS") efforts?

What are the best practices to prevent expired

documentation?

The foreign income recipient is no longer associated with my fund or company. I cannot obtain valid withholding tax documentation.

 Can I use alternative

documentation?

I received a notice from the U.S.

Internal Revenue Service. Do I need

tax authority representation?

Should Form W-8BEN-E,

Form W-8IMY, Form W-8EXP,

Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI,

or W-9 be used?

Does my fund or company have valid

and complete U.S. withholding tax

 documentation for all foreign

income recipients?
