Description
Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, U.S. Income Tax Treaties – The Limitation on Benefits Article, discusses in detail the limitation on benefits (LOB) article of U.S. income tax treaties.
This Portfolio covers provisions in U.S. income tax treaties relating only to individuals and, where possible, the policy considerations that explain the variations from treaty to treaty. Particular attention is paid to widely-held notions of international tax fairness as reflected in U.S. model treaties and other model treaties, and to the provisions of the various bilateral income tax treaties to which the United States is a party. The ultimate goal of this Portfolio is to educate practitioners about the benefits available under provisions in U.S. income tax treaties that relate only to individuals, and the practical contexts in which they arise.
With respect to estate and gift tax treaties, see 837 T.M., Non-Citizens — Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Taxation (Estates, Gifts, & Trusts Series), and 6896 T.M., U.S. Estate and Gift Tax Treaties.
