Operative text

Section 1441 is the core U.S. withholding rule for many payments of U.S.-source fixed or determinable income to nonresident alien individuals and certain foreign partnerships. In the baseline case, the withholding agent must deduct and withhold 30 percent unless an exception, effectively connected income rule, or treaty-backed reduction applies.
