The US has revised and completed tax treaties with Canada, Sweden and France that are part of the Clinton administration's continuing effort to reduce barriers to international trade. Royalty and dividend withholding rates and branch profits tax rates have been reduced in the Canadian agreement, and restrictions to reduce treaty shopping have been put in place. The treaty with France leaves rates unchanged, but the royalty tax exemption list has been expanded. The dividend withholding and branch tax rules have been revised in the treaty with Sweden.
D. 9281, under Sections 882 and 884, states that foreign corporations engaged in a trade or business within the US are subject to tax on their income that is treated as effectively connected with the trade or business. Expenses related to that income are allocable and deductible against the effectively connected income to determine the foreign corporation's net US taxable income. Special rules apply to the allocable amount of interest expense allowed in determining the net US taxable income. Additional rules for foreign banking corporations are also applicable. Certain clarifications and conforming updates are also made to the 1996 final regulations under Reg. 1.882-5.
