The US Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have finally released long-awaited proposed regulations relating to the 871(m) statute and “dividend-equivalent” withholding. 

Section 871(m) was enacted as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (Hire) Act, and provides that dividend-equivalent payments to foreign entities will be treated as a dividend from sources within the US and subject to withholding.
