Considerations for Canadian institutional investors
December 2020
On October 7, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department (Treasury) and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released final regulations under U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1446(f) with respect to the withholding tax on a transfer by a non-U.S. person of an interest in a partnership that carries on a trade or business in the U.S. or otherwise realizes income effectively connected with such a trade or business (ECI).
The final regulations retain the overall approach and structure of the proposed regulations issued in May 2019, with certain revisions based on comments received.
