PART 509--SWITZERLAND--Table of Contents
 
                       Subpart--General Income Tax
 
Sec. 509.122  Swiss partnerships.

    (a) General. Whether an individual, corporation, or other entity, a 
member of a partnership created or organized under Swiss laws, is 
subject to United States tax upon such person's distributive share of 
the income of such partnership depends upon both the status of the 
partnership and the status of such member.
    (b) Citizen partner. A citizen or resident of the United States, or 
a domestic corporation, is subject to United States tax upon such 
person's distributive share of the income of such partnership as though 
the convention had not come into effect, but subject to the provisions 
of Sec. 509.118; even though other members, by reason of benefits 
granted by the convention, are not subject to United States tax upon 
their distributive share of such income.
    (c) Noncitizen partner. In any case in which income is derived from 
sources within the United States by a partnership created or organized 
under Swiss laws, any member of such partnership who has a permanent 
establishment in the United States or who is either a nonresident alien 
not a resident of Switzerland or is a foreign corporation which is not 
Swiss is not entitled, with respect to such member's distributive share 
of such income, to any benefit granted by the convention solely to 
nonresident aliens residing in Switzerland, or to Swiss corporations or 
other

entities, having no permanent establishment in the United States. 
Conversely, any member of such partnership who individually complies 
with the requirements for obtaining any such benefit will be entitled 
thereto with respect to such member's distributive share of such income. 
A member of a Swiss partnership which has a permanent establishment in 
the United States shall likewise be considered to have a permanent 
establishment in the United States.
