This agreement applies to all services performed outside the United States by each U.S. citizen or resident alien employed by any of the foreign

affiliates named. However, the agreement applies only to the extent that payments to each employee for the services would be considered wages

if paid by the employer for services performed in the United States. This agreement does not apply to any service that is considered employment

for purposes of the employee tax and the employer tax under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act.

For an original agreement, an amendment to an agreement that was entered into after April 20, 1983, or an election to apply the rules in effect after

April 20, 1983, to agreements in effect on that date, the American employer declares that it owns at least a 10% interest (directly or through one or

more entities) in the voting stock or profits of each foreign entity named above. It also declares that Code section 3121(l) does not prevent this agreement.

For an amendment to an agreement in effect on April 20, 1983, without making the election to apply the new rules in effect after that date, the

domestic corporation declares that (a) it owns at least 20% of the voting stock of each foreign corporation named above, or (b) it owns at least

20% of the voting stock of a foreign corporation that owns more than 50% of the voting stock of each foreign corporation named above. It also

declares that Code section 3121(l) does not prevent this agreement.

The American employer agrees:

1. To pay amounts equal to the taxes that would be imposed by Code sections 3101 and 3111 if the payment for the services were considered

wages;

2. To pay, on written notification and demand, amounts equal to the interest, additions to taxes, and penalties that would apply if the payment

for the services were considered wages; and

3. To comply with the applicable regulations under Code section 3121(l).

This agreement (or amended agreement or election) is entered into under the provisions of section 3121(l) of the Internal Revenue Code and the

applicable regulations.

Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act

Notice. We ask for the information on this form

to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the

United States. We need it to figure and collect

the right amount of tax. Section 6109 requires

you to provide your taxpayer identification

number (SSN or EIN). Section 3121 of the

Internal Revenue Code allows employees of

foreign affiliates to be covered under social

security. Routine uses of this information include

giving it to the Social Security Adminstration for

use in calculating social security benefits, the

Department of Justice for civil and criminal

litigation, and cities, states and the District of

Columbia for use in administering their tax laws.

We may also disclose this information to Federal

and state agencies to enforce Federal nontax

criminal laws and to combat terrorism. We may

also give the information to foreign countries

under tax treaties. If you want this coverage, you

are required to give us this information. If you fail

to provide this information in a timely manner, or

you provide incorrect or fraudulent information,

you may be denied this coverage and you may

be liable for penalties and interest.

Completing Form 2032

Complete Form 2032 in triplicate. Each copy of

the form must be signed and dated by the

individual authorized to enter into the agreement,

amendment, or election. Attach to each form

evidence showing the authority for such

individual to sign the form. For example,

corporations must include a certified copy of the

minutes of the board of director’s meeting.

For this agreement, an American employer is

an employer that is (a) the United States or any

instrumentality thereof, (b) an individual who is a

resident of the United States, (c) a partnership if

two-thirds or more of the partners are residents

of the United States, (d) a trust if all the trustees

are residents of the United States, or (e) a

corporation organized under the laws of the

United States or of any state.

You are not required to provide the

information requested on a form that is subject

to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form

records relating to a form or its instructions must

be retained as long as their contents may

become material in the administration of any

Internal Revenue law. Generally, tax returns and

return information are confidential, as required

by Code section 6103.

After the director of the Internal Revenue

Service Center signs and dates the form, it

constitutes the agreement, amendment, or

election authorized by section 3121(l). The IRS

will return one copy of Form 2032 to the

American employer, send one copy to the Social

Security Administration, and keep one copy with

all related papers.

Where To File

Original agreements. Check the box on line 1.

Also check the applicable box on line 1a or b to

designate when the agreement will take effect.

File three copies of this form with the Internal

Revenue Service Center shown below for the

state where the American employer’s principal

American employer already filing Form 941,

Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, should

file Form 2032 with the Internal Revenue Service

Center where the employer files Form 941

(generally their principal place of business). Also,

enter on Form 2032 the employer identification

number as shown on Form 941. This will help

the IRS process your form faster.

Amending agreements. You may amend an

agreement at any time to extend coverage to

any foreign affiliate not covered by an existing

agreement. File Form 2032 in triplicate, and

check the box on line 2. If you amend an

agreement entered into on or before April 20,

1983, without making the election to apply the

rules in effect after that date, the agreement and

amendments will continue to be governed by the

rules in effect before April 21, 1983.

After April 20, 1983, any American employer

(no longer limited to a domestic corporation) can

enter into this agreement to cover U.S. resident

aliens as well as U.S. citizens employed by a

foreign affilliate. For this agreement, a foreign

affiliate is any foreign entity (no longer limited to

a foreign corporation) in which the American

employer owns at least a 10% interest in the

voting stock or profits. This interest must be

owned directly or through one or more entities.

Election to apply post-April 20, 1983 rules. A

domestic corporation having an agreement in

effect that was entered into before April 21,

1983 (old agreement), may elect to have the

rules in effect after April 20, 1983, apply to the

old agreement. File Form 2032 in triplicate, and

check the box on line 3.

A domestic corporation having an agreement

in effect that was entered into before April 21,

1983, can elect to apply the post-April 20, 1983,

rules to such agreements. If a domestic

corporation makes this election, social security

coverage will be extended to U.S. resident alien

employees of any foreign subsidiary for which

U.S. citizens are currently covered by an existing

agreement. In addition, the election allows a

domestic corporation to extend social security

and Medicare coverage to U.S. citizens and

resident aliens employed by a foreign entity that

did not qualify for coverage under the old 20%

ownership rules, but that now qualifies under the

10% ownership rules.

If you make this election, it will be effective for

all foreign entities covered by the agreement. By

making the election, U.S. resident alien

employees as well as U.S. citizen employees will

be covered by the agreement.

To extend coverage to any foreign affiliate not

covered by an agreement, indicate the name and

address of the foreign affiliate on line 4 in the

space provided and check the box on line 2 for

the amended agreement, and the box on line 3

for the election.

Note: The United States has social security

(totalization) agreements with specific countries.

These agreements ensure that social security

taxes are paid to only one country. However,

these agreements may affect the withholding

requirements resulting from filing Form 2032. For

more information, see Social Security and

Medicare Taxes in Pub. 54, Tax Guide for U.S.

Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad.

Effective date. Generally, the election will be

effective on the day following the quarter in

which the election is signed by the service

center director.

No Termination of Agreement

Once you enter into an agreement, you cannot

terminate it, either in its entirety or with respect

to any foreign affiliate. However, the agreement

will terminate for a foreign entity at the end of

any quarter in which the foreign entity, at any

time in that quarter, ceased to be your foreign

affiliate.

Purpose of form. An American employer uses

this form to (a) enter into the agreement

specified in section 3121(l) to extend coverage

under Title II of the Social Security Act to U.S.

citizens and resident aliens employed abroad by

foreign affiliates, (b) amend a previous

agreement, or (c) elect to apply the rules in

effect after April 20, 1983, to agreements in

effect on that date.
