Withholding of a certain amount of investment income (e.g. interest, dividends) by banks and other businesses under conditions such as missing Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or under directions from the IRS. Also see: TEFRA, W-8, W-9.

Back-Up Withholding

The garnishment of both regular income and investments for tax purposes. In most developed countries, a certain percentage of wages and salaries are withheld from the employee and paid directly to the tax authority. The same applies with many investment profits, including, but not limited to, dividends, commissions, and fees. It does not generally apply to real estate transactions. Governments instituted this regulation to avoid the possibility that a taxpayer may spend all his/her money before it is due to the tax authority, leaving it with the difficult process of collecting. In the United States, back-up withholding originated before the Civil War and was reinstituted in the 1940s.
