FAQ
The U.S. tax treaty with the People's Republic of China has provisions that are available to both nonresident and resident aliens.
To be eligible as a “person” under the treaty (either a company or individual), that person will normally be classed as a dual resident. In other words, each country in question will have registered the individual or company as a resident for tax purposes under their domestic law.
The payee must file a U.S. tax return and Form 8833 if claiming the following treaty benefits: A reduction or modification in the taxation of gain or loss from the disposition of a U.S. real property interest based on a treaty. A change to the source of an item of income or a deduction based on a treaty.
Secretary of State authorizes negotiation. U.S. representatives negotiate. Agree on terms, and upon authorization of Secretary of State, sign treaty. President submits treaty to Senate. Senate Foreign Relations Committee considers treaty and reports to Senate. Senate considers and approves by 2/3 majority.
The ratification process varies ing to the laws and Constitutions of each country. In the U.S., the President can ratify a treaty only after getting the “advice and consent” of two thirds of the Senate. Unless a treaty contains provisions for further agreements or actions, only the treaty text is legally binding.
Therefore, a U.S. citizen or U.S. treaty resident who receives income from a treaty country and who is subject to taxes imposed by foreign countries may be entitled to certain credits, deductions, exemptions, and reductions in the rate of taxes of those foreign countries.
The payee must file a U.S. tax return and Form 8833 if claiming the following treaty benefits: A reduction or modification in the taxation of gain or loss from the disposition of a U.S. real property interest based on a treaty.

The W-8BEN form lets you benefit from the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) treaty rate with the UK. This lowers the withholding tax for qualifying dividends and interest from US shares from 30% to 15%.
The Internal Revenue Service requires W-8BEN because foreign individuals are normally subject to a 30% tax withholding, but they may qualify for a reduced rate of taxation. W-8BEN helps to establish this eligibility, although other factors also play a role, such as type of income.
If you are Chinese and in the U.S. solely for the purpose of your education, you may be able to exclude up to $5,000 of income that you receive from work performed in the U.S. Under the U.S.-China treaty, taxable scholarships and fellowships are also excluded from income.
