Requirement to Withhold Clause Samples
The Requirement to Withhold clause obligates one party to withhold certain amounts from payments made to another party, typically to comply with tax laws or regulatory requirements. In practice, this means that if a payment is subject to withholding tax, the paying party must deduct the appropriate amount before remitting the balance to the recipient, and may also be responsible for remitting the withheld amount to the relevant tax authority. This clause ensures compliance with legal obligations and prevents potential penalties for failing to withhold required amounts, thereby allocating the risk of non-compliance and clarifying each party's responsibilities.
Requirement to Withhold. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such deduction or withholding is required in order for the payer to obtain relief from Tax) by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party ("X") is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (the "DEDUCTING PARTY"):
(1) will promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) will pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any Gross Up Amount (as defined below) paid by the Deducting Party to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) will promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and
(4) if X is Party A, X will promptly pay in addition to the payment to which Party B is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount (the "GROSS UP AMOUNT") as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Party B will equal the full amount which Party B would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
