Tax Treaty TablesThe United States has income tax treaties (or conventions) with a number of foreign countries under which residents (sometimes limited to citizens) of those countries are taxed at a reduced rate or are exempt from U.S. income taxes on certain income received from within the United States. Three tables follow: Table 1 lists the withholding rates on income other than personal service income. Table 2 lists the different types of personal service income that are entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding. Table 3 shows where the full text of each treaty and protocol may be found in the Cumulative Bulletins if it has been published.
Income that is exempt under a treaty is not subject to withholding at source under the statutory rules discussed in this publication. |
