SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: General Revision of Regulations 

Relating to Withholding of Tax on 

Certain U.S. Source Income Paid to 

Foreign Persons and Related Collection, 

Refunds and Credits; Revision of 

Information Reporting and Backup 

Withholding Regulations; and Removal 

of Regulations Under Part 35a and of

Treaties. 

OMB Number: 1545–1484. 

Regulation Project Number: REG–

242282–97 (formerly INTL–62–90; 

INTL–32–93; INTL–52–86; INTL–52–

94). 

Abstract: This regulation prescribes 

collections of information for foreign 

persons that received payments subject 

to withholding under sections 1441, 

1442, 1443, or 6114 of the Internal 

Revenue Code. This information is used 

to claim foreign person status and, in 

appropriate cases, to claim residence in 

a country with which the United States 

has an income tax treaty in effect, so 

that withholding at a reduced rate of tax 

may be obtained at source. The 

regulation also prescribes collections of 

information for withholding agents. 

This information is used by withholding 

agents to report to the IRS income paid 

to a foreign person that is subject to 

withholding under Code sections 1441, 

1442, and 1443. The regulation also 

requires that a foreign taxpayer claiming 

a reduced amount of withholding tax 

under the provisions of an income tax 

treaty must disclose its reliance upon a 

treaty provision by filing Form 8833 

with its U.S. income tax return. 

Current Actions: There is no change to 

this existing regulation. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, individuals or 

households, not-for-profit institutions, 

farms, and Federal, state, local or tribal 

governments. 

The burden for the reporting 

requirements is reflected in the burden 

of Forms W–8BEN, W08ECI, W–8EXP, 

W–8IMY, 1042, 1042S, 8233, 8833, and 

the income tax return of a foreign 

person filed for purposes of claiming a 

refund of tax. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a collection 

of information must be retained as long 

as their contents may become material 

in the administration of any internal 

revenue law. Generally, tax returns and 

tax return information are confidential, 

as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
