§ 521.7 - Addressee not actual owner.  


Latest version.
  • (a) If the recipient in Denmark of any dividend from sources within the United States is a nominee or representative through whom the dividend flows to a person other than a person described in § 521.2(a) as being entitled to the reduced rate of 15 percent provided in Article VI of the convention, such recipient in Denmark will withhold an additional amount of United States tax equivalent to the difference between the United States tax which would have been withheld had the convention not been in effect (30 percent as at the date of approval of this subpart) and the 15 percent withheld at the source with respect to such dividend pursuant to § 521.2.

    (b) In any case in which a fiduciary or a partnership with an address in Denmark receives, otherwise than as a nominee or representative, a dividend from a United States corporation, if a beneficiary of such fiduciary or a partner in such partnership is not entitled to the reduced rate of tax provided in Article VI of the convention, the fiduciary or partnership will withhold an additional amount of United States tax with respect to the portion of such dividend included in such beneficiary's or partner's net distributive share of the income of such fiduciary or partnership, as the case may be. The rate of the additional tax is calculated in the same manner as under paragraph (a) of this section.

    (c) The amounts so withheld by the withholding agent in Denmark will, on or before the 15th day after the close of the calendar year quarter in which such withholding has taken place, be deposited with the Danish National Bank (Danmarks Nationalbank) without converting such amounts into dollars. Each withholding agent making such deposit will accompany such deposit with the appropriate Danish form executed as required by the Danish National Bank. The Danish National Bank has arranged to remit, on or before the end of the calendar month in which such deposit is so made, by draft in United States dollars, the amounts so deposited to the District Director of Internal Revenue, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., forwarding with such draft the appropriate Danish form filed by the withholding agents.
