What International Property Investors Should Know When Buying Property in the U.S.
Unless a tax treaty exists between the U.S. and a specific country, international property investors, including estates, corporations, nonresident aliens, and partnerships, pay a flat 30 percent withholding tax on the rents produced by their U.S. real estate investments. This tax applies unless foreigners’ investments are connected with a U.S. trade or business or the foreign owner has made an election with the Internal Revenue Service to be taxed on a net basis. (Having rental income taxed on a net basis after deductions for costs or operations, maintenance, and carrying charges usually results in a lower overall tax for the foreign owner.)
This 30-percent withholding tax is calculated on the gross amount of the rents generated by the property without allowable deductions for interest, depreciation, repairs, management and association fees, insurance, real estate taxes, or other expenses of owning and operating the property.
Avoiding the Withholding Tax: Foreign Owners
Because of this potential tax liability, The Realty Medics request that the foreign investor’s apply for the Individual Tax Payer Identification Number or ITIN W-7 Form. Once this number has been provided to The Realty Medics we can disperse the funds without any withholding’s. This will save you approximately 30%.
W-8ECI Form. Nonresident aliens and other foreign Investors must complete the Form W-8ECI, which certifies a foreign person Income Is Effectively Connected With the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States. (Real Estate).
The Realty Medics will collect the rent from the tenants, pay the maintenance, HOA and related costs with the rental income, and we will remits the balance to the owner. We are very familiar with the International Investment laws. Please Contact Us with any questions.
