§ 1.861-3 Dividends.

(a) General-(1) Dividends included in gross income. Gross income from sources within the United States includes a dividend (as defined by section 316 and the regulations thereunder) described in subparagraph (2), (3), or (4) of this paragraph.

(2) Dividend from a domestic corporation. A dividend described in this subparagraph is a dividend from a domestic corporation other than a domestic corporation entitled to the benefits of section 931, and other than a domestic corporation less than 20 percent of the gross income of which is shown to the satisfaction of the district director (or, if applicable, the Director of International Operations) to have been derived from sources within the United States, as determined under the provisions of sections 861 to 864, inclusive, and the regulations thereunder, for the 3-year period ending with the close of the taxable year of such corporation preceding the declaration of such dividend, or for such part of such period as the corporation has been in existence.

(3) Dividend from a foreign corporation. A dividend described in this subparagraph is a dividend from a foreign corporation (other than a dividend to which subparagraph (4) of this paragraph applies) unless less than 50 percent of such foreign corporation's gross income for the 3-year period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding the declaration of such dividend, or for such part of such period as it has been in existence, was derived from sources within the United States, as determined under the provisions of part I (section 861 and following), subchapter N, chapter 1 of the Code, and the regulations thereunder;

but only in an amount which bears the same ratio to such dividend as the gross income of the corporation for such period derived from sources within the United States bears to its gross income from all sources. However, for purposes of sections 901 to 905, inclusive, and the regulations thereunder, relating to the foreign tax credit, a dividend from a foreign corporation shall be treated as income from sources without the United States to the extent exceeding the amount of the deduction allowable under section 245 in respect of such dividend.

§ 1.861-4

Compensation for labor or personal services.

(a) General. Gross income from sources within the United States includes compensation for labor or personal services performed in the United States regardless of the residence of the payer, of the place in which the contract for service was made, or of the place of payment; except that such compensation shall be deemed not to be income from sources within the United States, if—

(1) The labor or services are performed by a nonresident alien individual temporarily present in the United

States for a period or periods not exceeding a total of 90 days during the taxable year;

(2) The compensation does not exceed $3,000 in the aggregate; and

(3) The compensation is for labor or services performed as an employee of, or under a contract with

(i) A nonresident alien, foreign partnership, or foreign corporation, not engaged in trade or business within the United States, or

(ii) A domestic corporation, if the labor or services are performed for an office or place of business maintained in a foreign country or in a possession of the United States by that corporation.

(b) Amount includible in gross income. If a specific amount is paid for labor or personal services performed in the United States, that amount (if income from sources within the United States) shall be included in the gross income. If no accurate allocation or segregation of compensation for labor or personal services performed in the United States can be made, or when such labor or service is performed partly within and partly without the United States, the amount to be included in the gross income shall be determined by an apportionment on the time basis; that is, there shall be included in the gross income an amount which bears the same relation to the total compensation as the number of days of performance of the labor or services within the United States bears to the total number of days of performance of labor or services for which the payment is made.

(c) Coastwise travel. Except as to income excluded by paragraph (a) of this section, wages received for services rendered inside the territorial limits of the United States and wages of an alien seaman earned on a coastwise vessel are to be regarded as from sources within the United States.

§ 1.861-5 Rentals and royalties.

Gross income from sources within the United States includes rentals or royalties from property located in the United States or from any interest in such property, including rentals or royalties for the United States, patents, copyrights, the use of, or for the privilege of using, in secret processes and formulas, goodwill, trade-marks, trade brands, franchises, and other like property. The income arising from the rental of property, whether tangible or intangible, located within the United States, or from the use

of property, whether tangible or intangible, within the United States, is from sources within the United States. § 1.861-6 Sale of real property.

Gross income from sources within the United States includes gain, computed under the provisions of section 1001 and the regulations thereunder, derived from the sale or other disposition of real property located in the United States. For the treatment of capital gains and losses, see subchapter P (section 1201 and following), chapter 1 of the Code, and the regulations thereunder.

§ 1.861-7 Sale of personal property.

(a) General. Gains, profits, and income derived from the purchase and sale of personal property shall be treated as derived entirely from the country in which the property is sold. Thus, gross income from sources within the United States includes gains, profits, and income derived from the purchase of personal property without the United States and its sale within the United States.

(b) Purchase within a possession. Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this section, income derived from the purchase of personal property within a possession of the United States and its sale within the United States shall be treated as derived partly from sources within and partly from sources without the United States. See section 863 (b) (3) and § 1.863-2.

(c) Country in which sold. For the purposes of part I (section 861 and following), subchapter N, chapter 1 of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, a sale of personal property is consummated at the time when, and the place where, the rights, title, and interest of the seller in the property are transferred to the buyer. Where bare legal title is retained by the seller, the sale shall be deemed to have occurred at the time and place of passage to the buyer of beneficial ownership and the risk of loss. However, in any case in which the sales transaction is arranged in a particular manner for the primary purpose of tax avoidance, the foregoing rules will not be applied. In such cases, all factors of the transaction, such as negotiations, the execution of the agreement, the location of the property, and the place of payment, will be considered, and the sale will be treated as having been consummated at the place where the substance of the sale occurred.

§ 1.861-8

Computation of taxable income from sources within the United States.

(a) General. From the items of gross income specified in §§ 1.861-2 to 1.861-7, inclusive, as being income from sources within the United States there shall be deducted the expenses, losses, and other deductions properly apportioned or allocated thereto and a ratable part of any other expenses, losses, or deductions which cannot definitely be allocated to some item or class of gross income. The remainder, if any, shall be included in full as taxable income from sources within the United States. The ratable part is based upon the ratio of gross income from sources within the United States to the total gross income.

Example. A taxpayer engaged in trade or business receives for the taxable year gross income from all sources in the amount of $180,000, one-fifth of which ($36,000) is from sources within the United States, computed as follows:

Interest on bonds of a domestic cor

[blocks in formation]

The remainder of the gross income is from sources without the United States, as determined under § 1.862-1. The expenses of the taxpayer for the year amount to $78,000. Of these expenses the amount of $8,000 is properly allocated to income from sources within the United States, and the amount of $40,000 is properly allocated to income from sources without the United States. The remainder of the expenses ($30,000) cannot be definitely allocated to any item or class of gross income. A ratable part thereof, based upon the relation of gross income from sources within the United States to the total gross income, shall be deducted in computing taxable income from sources within the United States. Thus, there are deducted from the $36,000 of gross income from sources within the United States expenses amounting to

$14,000, representing $8,000 properly apportioned to the income from sources within the United States and $6,000 of the expenses (one-fifth thereof) which cannot definitely be allocated to any item or class of gross income. The remainder ($22,000) is the taxable income from sources within the United States.

(b) Personal exemptions. The deductions for the personal exemptions allowed by section 151 or 642(b) shall not be taken into account for purposes of paragraph (a) of this section but shall be allowed as deductions from the taxable income computed thereunder, if and to the extent that such deductions are allowable for purposes of computing the taxable income of the taxpayer. See sections 642(b), 873 (d), 904 (c), and 931(e), and the regulations thereunder.

(c) Special deductions. The special deductions allowed in the case of a corporation by section 241 (relating to the deductions for partially tax-exempt interest, dividends received, etc.), section 922 (relating to Western Hemisphere trade corporations), and section 941 (relating to China Trade Act corporations) shall be taken into account for purposes of paragraph (a) of this section.

(d) Exempt income. No deduction shall be allowed under this section for the amount of any item or part thereof allocable to a class or classes of exempt income. See section 265 and the regulations thereunder.

[T.D. 6500, 25 F.R. 11910, Nov. 26, 1960, as amended by T.D. 6892, 31 F.R. 11144, Aug. 23, 1966]
