欢迎你的回复,看的出来是有做研究。不过这个推论确实不对的。
Effectively Connected Income与否确实是决定nonresident报税的一个基础,Generally, when a foreign person engages in a trade or business in the United States, all income from sources within the United States connected with the conduct of that trade or business is considered to be Effectively Connected Income (ECI). 这里的重点是这个“that”,是把范围限制到了“这一个”trade or business:Personal service是一个trade or business,The taxable part of any U.S. source scholarship or fellowship grant received by a nonimmigrant in "F," 也是一个trade or business,但是炒股就不是了。不能一并而论。
其实很好理解,如果根据你的推论,那么所有的留学生的所以收入都可以变成Effectively Connected Income,都将和resident的处理方法一样,则nonresident的tax return还有什么意义呢?
另外,Note的那句话的重点是在于通过U.S. resident broker or other agent炒股是不足以证明你是Effectively Connected的。Publication 519 Effectively Connected Income下Investment Income条目有给出两条tests的:
1. Asset-use test
2. Business-activities test
这才是判断Capital gain是否为Effectively Connected Income的方法,而非把所有收入一概而论。
以上,对于大多数留学生是不可能满足的。不过真的多谢探讨。 |
