Yale Tax Office has updated 2008 forms for non-U.S. citizens
Non-U.S. citizens who are currently claiming a reduced federal income tax
withholding rate (including a full exemption from withholding) on payments
pursuant to a tax treaty may need to complete updated tax forms for the calendar
year 2008.
The Form 8233, “Exemption from Withholding on Compensation for Independent
Personal Services of a Nonresident Alien Individual,” is only valid for
the tax year for which it is filed. Current Forms 8233 will expire Dec. 31.
The Form W-8BEN, “Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for
United States Withholding,” is effective for three calendar years. Forms
W-8BEN filed in the calendar year 2005 will expire Dec. 31.
The Form W-9, “Request for Taxpayer Identification,” is used to claim
tax treaty benefits by a resident alien for tax purposes. When the form is used
to claim tax treaty benefits, the form must be updated annually with respect
to wages and every three years for fellowship or stipend payments.
All individuals who are currently claiming a reduced withholding rate pursuant to a tax treaty and whose exemption forms
will expire Dec. 31, will be notified by letter or e-mail in mid-November. The
notification will instruct individuals about the steps required to claim a reduced
withholding rate for calendar year 2008. Renewed treaty forms must be submitted
to the International Tax Office by Dec. 19 and will be effective for payments
made on or after Jan. 1, 2008.
Individuals may schedule appointments by visiting the International Tax Office
website at www.yale.edu/tax/int/appointments.html. Appointments will be held
Nov. 20-Dec. 19. For more information, call (203) 432-5530 or (203) 432-5597,
or send e-mail to jodie.stewart-moore@yale.edu or daysi.cardona@yale.edu.
