What Is Withholding Tax?
Tax deducted from a payment to a supplier or worker and remitted to authorities.
Detailed Explanation
Cross-border services often trigger it. Contracts should state who bears the gross-up.
Example
A client withholds 15% from your invoice per treaty rules.
Why It Matters
Cash received can be far below the invoice total.
