Certain kinds of tax are susceptible to withholding: taxes on interest and dividend payments, for example, as these are neatly determinative and may be clipped a pre-specified rate without any pause for thought. Other taxes are less suitable for withholding: General income tax obligations, the net levels of which depend on one's whole income over a year, for example. These can’t realistically be claimed by withholding, but that won’t stop tax attorneys [[For the avoidance of doubt|avoiding non-existent doubts]] about the risk that some revenue authority, somewhere in the world, contrives some way of doing it. | Certain kinds of tax are susceptible to withholding: taxes on interest and dividend payments, for example, as these are neatly determinative and may be clipped a pre-specified rate without any pause for thought.
