How do withholding tax and treaty relief work in Brazil for payments to non-residents?
I need the Brazil cross-border answer, not a generic treaty summary. Please explain Brazil's domestic withholding starting point for work, services and royalties, why treaty relief still matters, and why non-resident payments should be mapped before money is remitted abroad.

What is IRC 1441 withholding and when do my U.S. clients have to withhold 30% from payments to me?
I'm a South Korean graphic designer with a New Mexico LLC. A U.S. company I freelance for said they need to withhold 30% of my payments because I'm a foreign person and IRC 1441 requires it. Is this right? I provided a W-8BEN form. Does that change anything? I thought my LLC was a U.S. entity so withholding wouldn't apply. This would basically make the work unprofitable for me.
How does IRC 1442 withholding on foreign corporations differ from IRC 1441 withholding on individuals?
I have a holding company in the Netherlands that owns a U.S. LLC which elected corporate status. My U.S. accountant keeps mentioning both IRC 1441 and IRC 1442 — one for individuals and one for corporations. Since my Dutch company receives dividends from the U.S. entity, which withholding provision applies? And does the U.S.-Netherlands treaty help reduce the rate?
What is IRC 1446 withholding on foreign partners and why is the U.S. partnership withholding from my share?
I'm a German citizen who is a 40% partner in a U.S. LLC taxed as a partnership. The partnership operates a restaurant in New York. The managing partner told me the partnership has to withhold tax from my share of the profits under IRC 1446. I thought partnerships didn't pay tax — the income just passes through. Why is the partnership withholding from my distributions?
