FIRPTA was enacted due to Congress’s concern that foreign persons were investing in U.S. property and selling it but not paying tax on gains.
FIRPTA was passed in order to treat gains on dispositions of U.S. real property interests as effectively connected income to a U.S. trade or business. It was enacted to ensure at least one level of U.S. tax imposed on sale of USRPI by foreign persons as foreign persons are generally not taxed on U.S. source capital gains other than U.S. real property. This video reviews U.S. real property interests and holding companies and discusses withholding taxes and certificates.
