Inside This Issue

  1. REMINDER for QI/WP/WT Agreement Renewals (and QDD Applicants)

  1.  REMINDER for QI/WP/WT Agreement Renewals (and QDD Applicants)

The extended deadline of 5/31/17 for submitting a qualified intermediary (QI)/foreign withholding partnership (WP)/foreign withholding trust (WT) request for renewal is almost here. It is important that a QI/WP/WT submit its renewal application as soon as possible.

The Internal Revenue Service is granting an Effective Date of 1/1/17 for all properly submitted and approved renewal applications, including renewals containing a request for qualified derivatives dealer (QDD) status, submitted by 5/31/17.

Additionally, because a QDD is a new entity type, all new QI Applications that also contain a request for QDD status submitted by 5/31/17 and that are approved will be granted an Effective Date of 1/1/17.

For new WPs, new WTs and new QIs that are not applying for QDD status, the 3/31/17 new application deadline, for a 1/1/17 Effective Date, has passed.

Additional information, including the User Guide and FAQs, can be found on the QI/WP/WT System.
