1% withheld on 17% withholding
Dear Members
I have an issue in withholding Tax, I have to deduct 1% withheld on 17% withholding tax at the time of vendor payment in f-53. System calculates the tax on total invoice amount, not on 17%.
Kindly tell me how i configure the above scenario.
Regards
HI
Maintain Tax rate in 0.17% or write an user exit for changing of With Holding base amount whaen they are using the same With holding tax code and maintain this user exit in Substitution your problem will solve.

Is there a need to activate Withholding tax functionality when creating or reporting 1099 vendors if there is no tax withheld?
Can we just create the 1099 by filling the fields of tax numbers ? Is there anything else that is reqquired for creating 1099 vendor?Hi
for details on this 1099 MISC reporting. SAP Note No. 363650 clearly explains how to configure this. As not everyone seems to be having access to this note, I thought of reproducing it here. At the end, vendor master maintenance for 1099 vendors also is covered, which is not a part of the SAP Note.
A) How to configure extended withholding tax to get correct 1099MISC reporting?
1) Define a type:Go to IMG path:-> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholdng Tax -> Calculation -> Withholding Tax Type -> Define Withholding Tax Type for Payment Posting
Define one withholding tax type for 1099 federal reporting. If state withholding tax needs to be withheld, a second withholding tax type needs to be created to allow two withholding tax postings for one vendor.
2) Define a code:
Go to IMG path: -> Financial Accounting Global Setting -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholdng Tax -> Calculation -> Withholding Tax Code -> Define Withholing Tax Code
Define one code for each box of the 1099MISC form where a base amount needs to be reported.
The codes must have the following numbering to get correct reporting:
TYPE CODE DESCRIPTION W/T PERCENTAGE
FE 01 Rents 0%
FE 02 Royalties 0%
FE 03 Other Income 0%
FE 05 Fishing boat proceeds 0%
FE 06 Medical and health care payments 0%
FE 07 Nonemployee compensation 0%
FE 08 Substitute payment in lieu of dividends 0%
FE 09 Direct Sales to a buyer for resale 0%
FE 10 Crop insurance proceeds 0%FE 3b or 13 Excess golden parachute 0%
FE 3c or 14 Gross proceeds to an attorney 0%
FE 7b Section 409A income 0%
FE 15 Section 409A deferrals 0%
Base amount, percentage to tax : 100 %
Postings, Post.indic. 1
Calculation, With/tax rate: leave blank
If tax must be withheld, a new code must be created starting with an F. Example F1 for rents. In this case fill the followig field as follows:
Calculation, With/tax rate: 30%
The codes for tax rate 30% should look as follows:
TYPE CODE DESCRIPTION W/T PERCENTAGE
FE F1 Rents 30%
FE F2 Royalties 30%
FE F3 Other Income 30%
FE F5 Fishing boat proceeds 30%
FE F6 Medical and health care payments 30%
FE F7 Nonemployee compensation 30%
FE F8 Substitute payment in lieu of dividends 30%
FE F9 Direct Sales to a buyer for resale 30%
FE F0 Crop insurance proceeds 30%
FE Fb Excess golden parachute 30%
FE Fc Gross proceeds to an attorney 30%
FE Fd Section 409A deferrals 30%
FE Fe Section 409A inocme 30%
If state tax must be withheld, assign a second type to the company code as follows:
TYPE CODE DESCRIPTION W/T PERCENTAGE
ST 16 State tax withheld depending on state
3) Assign Withholding Tax Types to Company Code:
Go to IMG path: -> Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholding Tax -> Company Code -> Assign Witholding Tax Types to Company Code
Switch on: Vendor data, With/tax agent and fill the validity period.
4) Assign an Account:
Go to IMG path: -> Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Wtihholding Tax -> Postings -> Account for Withholding Tax -> Define Accounts for Withholding Tax to be paid over
B) How to configure classical withholding tax for 1099MISC reporting
1) Define a code
Go to IMG path: -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax -> Withholding Tax -> Calculation -> Maintain Tax Codes
Define one code for each box of the 1099MISC form where a base amount needs to be reported.
The codes must have the following numbering to get correct reporting (2001 reporting):
CODE DESCRIPTION
01 Rents
02 Royalties
03 Other Income
05 Fishing Boat Proceeds
06 Medical and health care payments
07 Nonemployee compensation
08 Substitute payments in lieu of dividends or interest
09 Direct Sales to a buyer for resale
10 Crop Insurance proceeds
13 or 3B Excess Golden parachute
14 or 3c Gross proceeds paid to an attorney
7B Section 409A income
15 Section 409A deferrals
Percentage subject to tax : 100 %
Mark box :Posting with the payment.
If tax must be withheld, a new code must be created starting with an F, Example F1 for Rents. In this case fill the fields as follows:
CODE DESCRIPTIOn
F1 Rents
F2 Royalties
F3 Other Income
F5 Fishing boat proceeds
F6 Medical and health care payments
F7 Nonemployee compensation
F8 Substitute payment in lieu of dividends
F9 Direct Sales to a buyer for resale
F0 Crop Insurance Proceeds
FB Excess golden parachute
FC Gross proceeds to an attorney
FD Section 409A deferrals
FE Section 409A income
Percentage subject to tax: 100%
Withholding tax rate: 30% (or valid rate for reporting year)
Mark box: Posting with payment
To flag a vendor in SAP as a 1099 vendor, two fields need to be populated.
1. On the Control screen of the vendor master, populate either "Tax Code 1" field with vendor's Social Security Number or ITIN if it is an individual or "Tax Code 2" field with his corporate tax ID for corporate vendors. The format for SSN/ITIN is xxx-xx-xxxx and corporate tax ID is xx-xxxxxxx.
2. On the Accounting Info. screen, populate the "W.tax code" field under the "Withholding Tax" box.
Any posts done before this changes were implemented will not show on 1099. You will need to run program RFWT0020 to flag 1099 items retroactively.
If the withholding tax base amount and/or the withholding tax code needs to be changed after an invoice has been cleared please follow the procedure below:
1) Change Document Change Rules
Go to IMG -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Line Item -> Document Change Rules
Go to account Type K field name BSEG-QSSHB and click off Line item not cleared.
Go to account Type K field name BSEG-QSSKZ and click off Line item not cleared.
2) Change Document Change Rules for extended withholding tax
Go to IMG -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Line Item -> Document Change Rules
Go to account Type K field name
Go to field WITH_ITEM-WT_QSSHB and click on 'Field can be changed'
Go to field WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD and click on 'Field can be changed'
3) Change Witholding Tax Code
Go to IMG -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax -> Withholding Tax -> Calculation -> Check witholding tax codes
Go to the respective withholding tax code and click off Posting with payment.
4) Change the payment document of the invoice which needs to be changed.
5) Your changed documents will be selected with report RFW1099M

Withhold taxes not withheld - F110 Program
Hi SCN members,
When the users performed the F110 program and generated the txt file to the bank (That is who print the bank slip.), the bank noticed that the gross amount was printed in the bank slip without subtract the taxes.
These documents were generated from billing process VF04.
Apparently, the issue is in the billing documents and not in F110 process because with the user, we have reversed a payment of one document and we have tried to pay it on F110. The result was the same.
All taxes are not been subtract and not only the taxes withheld in F110. The IRRF tax is withheld in billing process and also is not been subtract.
I’ve never seen something like that. Have you seen?
Thanks so much!Hi ,
have you configured Withholding tax on Payment .
System deduct the withholding tax In f110 when you configure Withholding tax type for payment and assign to you comapny code . and then Mainatin in Vendor/ customer master.
Please check the setting and let us know . -
Purchase Order Pricing Condition and Withholding Tax
Hi
We have investigated Extended Withholding Tax functionality, which appears to be FI specific.
The problem is that we want to have the Purchase Order pricing conditions reflect that some amount is being withheld for tax purposes.
At invoice time, the vendor would invoice for the entire amount (i guess) (ie. 100$) but we would pay the vendor only 80$ and 20$ would go to a withholding tax account...or something like this would happen ...
I have some pricing config knowledge...but limited
Can anyone tell me
a) if this is possible?
b) any hints on how to go about this?
Also noticed a 'withholding tax code' field on MEK1 - Create Condition Records. .... which appears as display only depending on how i configure my condition type - haven't figured out how to use this field or what is means...
Thank-you !!!Hi,
If you are using the standard PO Print then check in M/08 and check for that Condition Type whether Print Indicator is "X"? If it is is Z-Print Program then take help of ABAPer. -
Withholding tax and Gross amount determination
Dear all
First of all, I would like to underline that before to post in this forum I have read all the documentation (official and not official) related to the Withholding Tax configuration in SAP, but in the end I have some doubts and so I kindly ask you cooperation to better understand the logical of the system.
In our country (ITLAY) the withholding tax (WTH tax) must be withheld at the payment invoice to the vendor, so our system should automatically calculate and posts the amount to the right tax account; my question is: which setting we have to use in order to have the right calculation of the base amount?
When you enter the invoice, the system determines the base amount for withholding tax and stores it in the document (INVOICE ENTRY SIDE). You can also enter the base amount directly. When the invoice is paid, the tax amount is calculated from the base amount and your specifications for the tax code. If the tax amount is to be paid to the tax authorities, the system automatically posts the amount to the tax account. The system reduces the payment amount to the vendor by the withholding tax to be paid (INVOICE PAYMENT SIDE).
At the Invoice Entry SIDE when entering documents, if the withholding tax is to be calculated at the time payment is made, only the base amount is calculated when the invoice is posted, this is what we are looking for, so my question is:
How does the system calculate the base amount of WTH tax?
Maybe an example could be better to explain our request:
Invoice received from a Tax adviser that is liable to Withholding tax.
1. Invoice Total Amount 1372
2. Fees (Tax Base amount and WHT Tax base amount) 1000
3. Specific Italian Contribution (Tax Base amount and NO WHT Tax base amount) 20
4. Social Security Contribution (Tax Base amount and WHT Tax base amount) 40
5. Expenses reimbursement (NO Tax Base amount and NO WHT Tax base amount) 100
6. VAT Basis (point 2 + 3 + 4) 1060
7. VAT Amount (20%) 212
8. Withholding Tax Basis (point 2 + 4) 1040
9. Withholding Tax Amount (20%) 208
Is it possible to manage this flow under the Invoice Verification FLOW? It means:
1. Issue a Purchase Order to the TAX consultant
2. post the GR for services
3. post the IR, in this step the System should calculate the WTH base amount 1040
4. post the payment and the WTH TAX
Accounting flow is:
Point 2) post the GR for services
Credit Balance Sheet GRIR services account -1040
Debit P&L Account for services 1040
Point 3) post the IR
Credit Vendor Account -1372
Debit Balance Sheet GRIR services account 1040
WTH TAX BASE AMOUNT
Debit P&L Account Expenses reimbursement 100
NO TAX BASE AMOUNT AND NO WHT TAX BASE AMOUNT
Debit P&L Account Specific Italian Contribution 20
TAX BASE AMOUNT AND NO WHT TAX BASE AMOUNT
Debit Balance Sheet Tax Account 212
Point 4) post payment to the vendor
Debit Vendor Account 1372
Credit Balance Sheet WTH TAX ACCOUNT -208
Credit Balance Sheet Bank Account -1164
I have just one doubt: for the calculation of the WTH TAX base amount the system consider the amount/value of the GR, so in this case 1040 or the system will take in consideration all the item for the VAT TAX BASE AMOUNT, so in this case 1060?
I am asking this because I found on the SAP documentation, when it explain the Withholding Tax Type Calculation Setting:
Gross amount - The withholding tax base amount equals the line item gross amount.
Tax amount - The withholding tax base amount equals the tax amount of the line item.
I know my request is not so clear, and I have to apologize with you because it is very long, but please someone can help me
Regards
Marcothanks for all folks

Extended withholding tax deduction from customer credit
hi all
configured the extended withholding tax for deducting tds from customer credit line items.
deduction is required only after the amount accumulation 2500/- (this is also configured)
1.is the recipient type and country is not required for the customer tds..? (it is not visible in the customer master, but is in vendor master)
2.in the amount accumulation for 2500/- consider the following scenario.
>>first bill amount 2450/- (no tax deduction)
>>second bill for Rs.100/- from which i need to deduct tax for 2550/-, since Rs.100 is not enough to deduct 10% tax from tax base 2550.00 it is throwing error.
pls help
with best regards,
sallu c.mathewHi Ajeesh,
As already mentionned in standardf help from sap, you use J1INCUST which is a report to record the with. tax certificates sent to you by your clients. In doing so, the system clears the wi. tax to a G/L account that records how much tax your customers have withheld on your behalf, known as the customer tax creditable account. You can offset this tax against your income tax payable at year-end.
And you run the report immediately you receive a certificate from a customer.
Then system creates an accounting document to transfer the withholding tax from the G/L account for the withholding tax deducted by your customers to the customer tax creditable account.
Best regards,

Hi Guys
My client has sales employees in KY.
1. The Employee lives under zip code 41011
2. Work Tax area : KY0F u2013Kenton ( County)
3. Residence Tax Area : KY2Y u2013 Park Hills (city)
4. When I run payroll of this employee, only Kenton County withholds tax, but Park Hills does not
As per the rule: Park Hills must withhold 1% tax. Kenton should withhold 0.7097% on wages up to $25,000 and then change to 0.1097% for any wages over that.
Park Hills is in the county of Kenton and since they live and work from these addresses, both taxes need to be withheld; a local tax for the residence and a county tax for the work in. But as I said, only the work tax for Kenton is withheld and system does not withhold any tax for Park Hills.
The BSI Support Team says that it's an SAP thing and not BSI issue. They suggest that if I somehow allocate 100% in IT0207 ( Residence Tax Area) Just like we have 100% allocation in the IT0208( Work Tax Area) , it would work and their many other clients have this setting where clients can allocate %age worked in the Residence Tax infotype.
I am not sure if this is doable.
Can anyone please suggest.
thanks

How to Withhold on Vendor due to receiving second B notice using Classical
We are using Classical Withholding in vendors. For 1099's we use RFIDYYWT.
We received a 2nd B notice and must begin withholding 28% from a vendor. How do we set this up in SAP accounts payable? How do we change vendor master record appropriately and how do we tell SAP to withhold the 28% from the vendor payment. What is the process then for the withheld amount?you can create a new witholding tax code for your specific country with the witholding tax percentage and assign it to the vendor.
While invoicing,( total amount) will be subjected to witholding tax on the invoice, unless there are any discounts on the invoice.
you could either withold on the invoice or use it for reporting purposes and then when you run the report, the amount will show based on the witholding tax code, country combo and the config associated with it. -
Automatic withholding tax calulation in MIRO
Hi Expert,
Please help me .............
How can I do configure the system to calculate withholding tax on MIRO?
At present I entered withholding tax details in vendor master data
but when I create MIRO the system don't calculate withholding tax .
Thanks,Hi
After maintaining withholding tax settings and in vendor master, you can decide when this tax is to be excluded from total amount (at time of MIRO or payment run). You can set this in financial accounting - withholding tax - extended withholding tax - calculation - withholding tax type - define tax types for invoice posting. If you do not maintain for IV and maintain for payment then you cannot withheld the amount. Check with your FI consultant.
If everything is set right then choose tax type in IV under withholding tax data (you can change data here).

Hi: My company uses PeopleSoft for payroll and taxes, and I would like to know if there is a way to force no NYC income tax withholding within the PeopleSoft system. The situation is that I am a non-resident of New York State for income tax purposes, despite having a NYC address, and therefore should have no NYC income tax withheld for all of 2013 (according to NYS rules). I'm assuming there must be a way to do this, and just want to confirm so I can help the people do the correct withholding. Thx.

Mobile number withheld recently
Hi,
I have a Samsung Tocco Lite using PAYG with Vodafone. Until recently there was no problem calling home to my BT landline, with my number being displayed OK. Now, when I call, the number is displayed as withheld.
I know that the number is being sent by the Tocco/Vodafone because when I call my husband's mobile he sees that it is me.
Even stranger is that my husband has the same Tocco Lite, only PAYG with Orange, and the number is not withheld when he calls home.
I am very confused and wonder if there can be some way of sending out a number that can be identified differently by landline and mobile phones. These don't seem to be any settings in the actual mobile to withhold numbers, rather a code is dialled before the desired number.
I really need to get this fixed because we block withheld calls and it's not much good if I can't even call home.
Cheers,
JoanIs the number stored on your phone prefixed with 141? this would withold the number when you dial home.
There should be no difference calling a mobile to a landline as far as witholding a number.

Error in numbering of withholding tax certificate
Hi ,
I am getting this error, and i have done the certificate certificate number range, and also the number group, but no result came....
Its giving me this error....
please help asap....I will assign points.
Error in numbering of withholding tax certificate
Message no. 7Q626
Diagnosis
An error has occurred during withholding tax certificate numbering.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings for withholding tax certificate numbering
ThnaksCheck SAP Note No. 127352. Just in case if you cannot, here is what it says.
Solution
Check your Customizing settings:
In the IMG check the settings for
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> ...:
Settings for the company code:
... -> Company Code -> Activate extended withholding tax:
1. Is the extended withholding tax activated for the company code?
(Indicator: Extended withholding tax - yes )
Caution!
If the extended withholding tax is not activated, you should not activate this under any circumstances in the current, productive system. Since the classical and the extended withholding tax functions are independent of each other and also the respective withholding tax data is kept in the database in different tables, there is a need for a separate change process (migration) for the migration from the classical to the extended withholding tax functions. The migration defines a mapping of the withholding tax data (Customizing data, master data and transaction data) of the old withholding tax functions on the data of the extended withholding tax function and creates this. However, no tool is made available by SAP that allows a return to the classical withholding tax functions.
Settings for the extended withholding tax functions:
... -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholding Tax -> ...:
... -> Calculation -> Withholding Tax Codes ->
-> Define withholding tax codes
2.1 Is a percentage rate entered for the withholding tax codes?
2.2 If the checkbox Withholding tax formula is activated in the withholding tax code, a scaling must be defined under
... -> Calculation -> Withholding Tax Codes -> Define withholding tax formulas
... -> Company code -> Assign Withholding Tax Types to Company Codes
3. Are the withholding tax types assigned to the company code?
3.1 Is the company code defined as withholding tax obligated from for withholding tax type? (Indicator: Withholding tax obligated from - yes).
3.2. Is the current callup point within the validity period for the obligation?
3.3 For withholding tax on the debit side: is company code defined as subject to withholding tax? (Customer data Subject to withholding tax - yes )
... -> Postings -> Accounts for withholding tax -> ...
4.1 An account must be defined both on the debit side and on the credit side for withholding tax to be paid over.
... -> Define accounts for Withholding Tax to be Paid Over
4.2 For withholding tax codes which are posted with 'Grossing up', an account must be defined for the 'Grossing up' offsetting entry.
... -> Define Accts for W/hold.Tax for "Gross.up" Offsetting Entry
4.3 For withholding tax on the debit side: If the withholding tax type (only for withholding tax during payment) allows self-withholding agent and the company code is authorized to self-withholding agent, an account must be defined for self-withheld withholding tax.
... -> Define Accounts for Self-Withholding Tax
4.4 For withholding tax codes which should be posted with offsetting entry, an account must be defined for offsetting entry.
... -> Define Accounts for Withholding Tax Offsetting Entry
Depending on the rules which are selected for the account determination of the above-mentioned accounts an account must be defined for every withholding tax type or for every combination withholding tax type/tax code. Furthermore, you can also control to debits/credits indicator.
Posting ->, ... Certificate numbering for withholding tax
5. If for withholding tax type ( ...Calculation -> Withholding Tax Type) the option 'no certificate numbering' is not selected, you must carry out all corresponding settings.
Check the settings of the field status groups:
6. The withholding tax for reconciliation and posting accounts must be set to as not suppressed (required or optional).
Check the settings of the vendor or customer master data:
7. The withholding tax types and indicators must be defined as
'liable'.
8. The dialog box does not work if the current callup point is
within the exemption period and no collapsed withholding tax rate
was maintained or if this is equal zero. -

NRA withholding for payments to Foreign vendors
Hi
I would like to discuss with configurators from other US companies as to how they have implemented NRA withholding.
In particular, how they handle varying tax rates for certain countries under tax treaties.
Thanks
DeepaHow to determine the amount to be withheld
Question 16: If a payment to a foreign person (foreign vendor) is determined to be FDAP and U.S. sourced, how much should be withheld?
Answer 16: The statutory withholding rate is generally 30%. This rate should be generally applied to the gross amount of the payment. See Q&A-19 below concerning this rate.
Question 17: When should the tax is withheld?
Answer 17: Withholding is required at the time that the payment is made. A payment is considered to be made when the beneficial owner of the payment realizes income. There does not need to be a transfer of cash or other property.
Question 18: When should the tax withheld be deposited?
Answer 18: The amount of tax that the US withholding agent and is required to withhold determines the frequency of the deposits. The frequency could be annual, monthly, or quarter-monthly. Publication 515 details the specific rules for making deposits including the deposit due dates, which forms to use, electronic deposit requirements and penalties for failure to make deposits timely.
Question 19: Can the statutory rate (30%) be reduced?
Answer 19: If the foreign vendor is a resident in a country that has a tax treaty with the United States, the rate may be reduced. Each treaty has specific provisions which determine the reduced withholding rate. These provisions reduce the withholding rate based on the type of income and the status of the recipient.
Question 20: Is there a listing of treaties and rates to be applied?
Answer 20: Publication 515 provides a listing of tax treaties and the withholding tax rates to be applied to various types of income under each treaty. The Publication 515 is located on the IRS website which is www.irs.gov.
Question 21: How can a foreign vendor certify its foreign status?
Answer 21: The foreign vendor must provide the withholding agent with form
a properly completed W-8 or Form 8233 (see FAQ section 5 for further information).
5. How should the withholding agent properly document the foreign status or treaty claim of a foreign person
Question 22: Must we obtain documentation from a foreign person to support its claim of foreign status or treaty eligibility?
Answer 22: In order to reduce the amount that is required to be withheld on a payment of U.S. sourced FDAP income to a foreign person (foreign vendor), or to exempt such a payment from withholding tax, the withholding agent must have documentation from the foreign vendor to certify its non-U.S. status and, if applicable, its eligibility for the treaty benefits claimed. Such documentation must be submitted by the foreign vendor in the form of a Form W8-IMY Form W-8 or Form 8233.
Question 23: Which forms would be most commonly used by foreign vendors?
Answer 23: Form W-8BEN (Beneficial Owner), Form W-8IMY (Intermediary), Form W-8ECI (Effectively Connected Income) and Form 8233.
Question 24: When should Form W-8BEN be used by foreign vendors?
Answer 24: Form W-8BEN should be used by the foreign vendor to certify that it has non-U.S. status. If a treaty claim is made by the vendor Part II of the
W-8BEN must be completed to be eligible for the treaty benefits.
Question 25: When should Form W-8ECI be used by our foreign vendors?
Answer 25: Form W-8ECI should be used by a foreign vendor to certify that the payment is income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. No withholding is required on such income. Rather, such income must be on some cases, a W8-BEN can be provided by a U.S. Branchu2019s income tax.
Question 26: When should Form 8233 be completed by a foreign vendor?
Answer 26: If you make a payment to a non-resident alien individual as compensation for personal services performed for you in the United States, that individual may have to provide you with Form 8233 instead of Form W-8. See Form 8233 and its instructions for further information.
Question 27: Are we responsible for the validity of the documentation presented to us by the foreign vendor?
Answer 27: In order to rely on the documentation, it must be valid. In order to be valid, the documentation must meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation 1.1441 and must be completed in accordance with the applicable Form instructions (see Instructions for the Requester of Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and W-8IMY).
In addition, in order for the documentation to be valid, the US withholding agent or multi-national must not know, or have reason to know, that the information provided on the documentation is unreliable or incorrect. If the US withholding agent (multi-national) has such knowledge, or if the documentation is invalid for any reason, the withholding agent must apply the presumption rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441, 1.
Question 28: When should the Form W-8 or Form 8233 be obtained from the foreign vendor?
Answer 28: In general, the documentation must be in the possession of the withholding agent at the time of payment.
6. How to report NRA payments and withholding
Question 29: What forms should we use to report payments to foreign persons (foreign vendors) of FDAP income that is U.S. sourced and any amounts withheld on such payments?
Answer 29: Forms 1042, 1042-S and 1042-T are the forms that a withholding agent (multi-national) must use to report payments to foreign persons of FDAP income that is U.S. sourced and any amounts withheld on such payments.
Form 1042, Annual Withholding Tax Return for U.S. Source Income of Foreign Persons should be submitted to the IRS in order to report the total aggregate NRA payments, withholdings and deposits made by the withholding agent during the applicable year.
Form 1042-S, Foreign Personu2019s U.S. Source Income subject to Withholding is an information return. The withholding agent should submit these information returns to the IRS and the payee in order to report the payments and withholdings made during the year that are specific to the payee, the type of income paid and the withholding rate. Form 1042-T, Annual Summary and Transmittal of Forms 1042-S should be used to transmit paper Forms 1042-S to the IRS.
7. What to expect from an IRS audit regarding NRA reporting and withholding responsibilities
Question 30: If upon audit, it is determined that there has been under reporting and under withholding, will the IRS assess penalties and interest in addition to the under withholding amounts due?
Answer 30: If deficiencies in reporting, withholding and depositing with regard to NRA payments are found on audit, the IRS will consider all applicable penalties, including, but not limited to the following:
Failure to file (IRC Section 6651)
Failure to pay (IRC Section 6651)
Failure to deposit (IRC Section 6656)
Failure to file information returns (IRC Sections 6721-6723)
Negligence (IRC Section 6662)
In addition, interest will be assessed on the under withholding.
Question 31: If upon audit, it is determined that there has been under withholding, on account of a failure to document any vendors, as described above what recourse does the withholding agent have in order to reduce the under withholding?
Answer 31: The withholding agent can obtain certification of foreign status and the treaty claim from the foreign vendor. This is accomplished by the vendor completing a valid Form W-8. A valid Form W-8 will allow a reduction in the under withholding from the 30% statutory rate for the type of income paid.
Since the documentation is being obtained after the payment is made, the foreign vendor should provide an additional statement indicating that all facts and elections made on the Form W-8 were true, correct and complete at the time of the payment. Documentation other than this statement might be considered based on the facts of the particular case.
Question 32: If the under withholding has been u201Ccuredu201D by obtaining a
Form W-8 or other applicable documentation after a payment, according to
Q&A-31 above and such documentation is found sufficient is there any remaining liability to the withholding agent?
Answer 32: In general, there is no remaining liability for tax, interest and penalties. Exceptions to this apply in case in which the withholding agent is relieved from the tax liability by showing that the underwithholding tax was paid by the payee. In those cases, the withholding agent may still be liable for interest and applicable penalties. In other cases, reporting-related penalties might still apply where no underwithholding results on account of the cure, but the filed Form 1042-S reflected incorrect information. -
