Foreign Corporations
A foreign corporation, for US tax law purposes, is any corporation not organized under the laws of the United States.

Foreign Controlled US Corporations
A 25% foreign shareholding makes a corporation 'foreign-controlled'.

Partnerships

Partnerships

A foreign or domestic partnership that has income effectively connected with a US trade or business (or income treated as effectively connected) must pay a withholding tax on the effectively connected taxable income that is allocable to its foreign partners.

A foreign partner can be a nonresident alien individual, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, or foreign estate or trust.

A publicly traded partnership must withhold tax on actual distributions of effectively connected income, unless it chooses to withhold on effectively connected income allocable to its foreign partners. This withholding tax does not apply to income that is not effectively connected with the partnership's US trade or business. Income that is not effectively connected income is subject to withholding tax at 30% or a lower treaty rate.

The withholding tax that a partnership is required to pay for the partnership's tax year is based on its effectively connected taxable income that is allocable to its foreign partners for that tax year.

The amount of a partnership's effectively connected taxable income that is allocable to a foreign partner is the foreign partner's distributive share of the partnership's gross effectively connected income reduced by the partner distributive share of partnership deductions for the year.
