(Applies to Foreign Service Nationals Only)
A post should not assume any obligation or responsibility to withhold taxes levied by the host government, except where, and in a manner, specifically approved by the Department. One basic consideration involved in handling requests to withhold taxes is that neither the host government nor the FSN’s should be given the mistaken impression that the U.S. Government wishes to preclude or discourage the FSN employees of its establishments from complying with the laws of their countries.
