France - Personal Services Income
Income that residents of
France receive for performing personal services as
independent contractors or self-employed individuals (independent personal
services) in the United States is exempt from U.S. income tax if they do not
have a fixed base regularly available to them in the United States for
performing the services. If they have a fixed base available in the United
States, they are taxed on the income attributable to the fixed base.
Income that residents of Finland receive for labor or personal services
performed in the United States as employees (dependent personal services) is
exempt from U.S. income tax if the residents meet three requirements.
- The resident is present in the United States for no more than 183 days in any
12-month period.
- Their income is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of
the United States.
- Their income is not borne by a permanent establishment, fixed base, or
trade or or business that the employer has in the United States.
The exemption does not apply to pay received by a resident of France who is an
employee and member of the regular complement of a ship or peraircraft operated
in international traffic by a resident of the United States.
These exemptions do not apply
to income residents of Finland receive as public entertainers (such as
theater, motion picture radio, or television artists, or musicians), or
sportsmen from France who earn more than $10,000 in gross receipts, including
reimbursed expenses, from their entertainment activities in the United States
during the tax year. Regardless of these limits, income of French entertainers
or sportsmen is exempt from U.S. tax if their visit is principally supported by
public funds of France.
These exemptions do not apply to directors� fees and similar payments received
by a resident of France as a member of the board of directors of a company that
is a resident of the United States.
