TITLE 26--INTERNAL REVENUE
CHAPTER 1--INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
(Continued)
PART 520--SWEDEN--Table of Contents
Subpart--General Income Tax
Sec. 520.116 Reciprocal administrative assistance.
(a) By Article XV of the convention, United States and Sweden adopt
the principle of exchange of information and assistance in the service
of documents incident to the collection of taxes. It is agreed that such
fiscal cooperation shall be carried out in accordance with the laws of
the respective countries and hence only such information as is available
to the Commissioner under the revenue laws may be used as a source from
which to secure the information required to be submitted to the Finance
Minister of Sweden.
(b) Pursuant to such principle, withholding agents shall, in the
preparation of withholding returns, Form 1042, report on such returns,
in addition to the items of income upon which tax has been withheld at
the source, those items of income paid to a nonresident alien individual
resident in Sweden or to a Swedish corporation or other entity upon
which tax has not been withheld at the source. (See Sec. 520.109.) Such
return shall show the same information with respect to such items of
income upon which tax has not been withheld at the source as is shown
with respect to items of income upon which the tax has been withheld at
the source.
(c) All information and correspondence relating to exchange of
information and to service of documents may be transmitted by the
Secretary directly to the Finance Minister of Sweden.
