Since 1995 Windstar Technologies’ International Tax Navigator® has
helped organizations meet IRS immigration and tax compliance rules and regulations. As
part of the effort, the company has developed annotated tax treaties that
make it easier for clients to understand the differences and similarities
in applying the treaties.
Windstar is posting these tax treaties for informational use. Please note that these treaties include only the treaty articles relevant to non-U.S. citizens who are performing services in the United States and do not include all of the treaty articles.
The treaties are organized for ease of use:
- Treaty articles are presented in the same order for all treaties
- Headings are applied consistently
- Whenever a treaty does not include a particular article, it is noted
- The term "Contracting State" is followed by the country name in brackets
- Paragraphs from Protocols that add to or modify an article are noted after the article
- Some comments from the U.S. Treasury Explanation are noted following the articles
