看下图,有段话。" B ^6 s; G2 p% U; j/ q7 ?
It is not necessary to have a tax identification number (TIN) in order to determine if you are a U.S. or non-U.S. person for U.S. income tax purposes. However, any reduction of the 30% statutory withholding tax rate applicable to your U.S. source payments will not apply until you can provide a TIN.* \2 p5 e4 b$ l8 h. o1 g, j/ d
我译了一下,不知是否正确: J' l1 ?2 L& ~' K) M+ F
从税收目的出发,为了鉴别你是一个美国人或不是美国人,不必有一个纳税识别号。然而,30%的法定税率将加在你的来自美国的收入上,至到你提供一个纳税识别号才能中止。+ Y8 |4 S' J9 E* p
