What a company in from keeps back when it pays dividends, interest, royalties or technical fees to a recipient in to: OECD's standard withholding rates for the payer's country and, for the pair, the treaty rate where OECD publishes one, with the saving in points per income type. Direction is the payer's, never reversed; from equal to to is rejected. A pair with no published treaty rate reports the standard rate and says so — that is not the same as no treaty existing, and the treaty figure is the maximum the treaty allows (a residence certificate is usually needed). Without from, ranks all 41 by standard rate on type (dividends default). Standard rates for 41 of 41; treaty rates for about 1,300 payer–recipient pairs within the spine (the Philippines never appears as a payer). Published rates and facts on the dates shown, for information only — not tax, legal or immigration advice; every response says so first.
