This document contains final regulations under sections 871 and 881 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) relating to the exclusion from gross income of portfolio interest paid to a nonresident alien individual or foreign corporation. These regulations clarify how the portfolio interest rules apply with respect to interest paid to a partnership (or simple or grantor trust) that has foreign partners (or beneficiaries or owners). These regulations also retroactively remove the rule in Treasury Regulation Sec. 1.1441-1(b)(7)(iii) that would impose interest under section 6601 when no underlying tax liability is due.
