Struggling with Tax Treaties?

Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance: A Practical Approach to Income Tax Treaties, Volume Two enables individuals with little or no tax background to make the best decisions about income tax treaty eligibility.

Many institutions continue to struggle with the complexities of the tax withholding and reporting regulations associated with payments made to nonresident aliens. Perhaps the most confusing piece of the tax puzzle is whether an income tax treaty applies. In fact, some institutions have even considered withholding the maximum amount of tax in lieu of facilitating an income tax treaty exemption, just to avoid trying to interpret the language of the tax treaty. Although doing so may be easier from an administrative standpoint, the negative impact to the individual may far out-weigh the administrative cost of an institution learning to "interpret" the tax treaties.

The Answer is Simple

From the Author of Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance: A Guide for Institutions Making Payments to Foreign Students, Scholars, Employees, and Other International Visitors, Volume One comes - Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance: A Practical Approach to Income Tax Treaties, Volume Two.
