The Internal Revenue Service and the Department of the Treasury are issuing proposed regulations under sections 1441, 1461, 1471, 1472, 1473, and 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The proposed regulations provide rules that aim to reduce taxpayer burden with respect to certain requirements under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code.

Specifically, the proposed regulations eliminate withholding on payments of gross proceeds, defer withholding on foreign passthru payments, eliminate withholding on certain insurance premiums, and clarify the definition of investment entities. The proposed regulations also include guidance on certain due diligence requirements of withholding agents and clarify procedures for refunds and credits of amounts withheld.
