Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service
In 1980, congress passed the
Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA)
which authorized the United States for the first time to tax foreign
person on the disposition of U.S. Real Property Interests. This law places
the responsibility on the purchaser of U.S. property owned by a foreign seller,
to withhold 10% of the gross
purchase price and remit to the IRS within 20 days of closing using
Form 8288 & 8288-A. It is important for members to know that it is
the purchasers responsibility to determine if the seller is a foreign person and
if withholding does not take place, that both the purchaser and his/her agent or
settlement officer may be held liable for the tax.
