Withholding Tax

US tax laws impose the obligation to withhold taxes on the US person(s) making the payment. For example, did you pay interest to a foreign lender? Did your company pay foreign contractors or employees? Are you a domestic partnership with foreign partners? If so, you may need to pay withholding taxes.

We can assist you with your withholding tax obligations. We will analyze the types of payments you are making and see if any tax treaties are available to lower the withholding tax rates. At your request, we will also assist with the necessary tax compliance associated with withholding tax.

We also have FATCA experts that can help you navigate the FATCA requirements.
