the revenue act of 1913 reduced the average import tariff rates from approximately 40 percent to approximately 26 percent. it also restored a federal income tax for the first time since 1872 (the federal government had also adopted an income tax in the 1890s, but that tax had been struck down by the supreme court before taking effect). the revenue act of 1913 imposed a one percent tax on incomes above $3,000, with a top tax rate of six percent on those earning more than $500,000 per year. approximately three percent of the population was subject to the income tax. the bill also included a one percent tax on the net income of all corporations, superseding a previous federal tax that had only applied to corporate net incomes above $5,000. the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the income tax in the cases of "brushaber v. union pacific railroad co." and "stanton v. baltic mining co."

any amounts received under an npc must be recognized by the taxpayer in accordance with the rules governing the recognition of such payments in the treasury regulations, which may override the taxpayer's normal method of accounting for u.s. federal income tax purposes. (treas. reg. § 1.446-3(e)(2)(i)). in general, amounts paid or received under an npc are treated as ordinary income (and not capital gain) for u.s. federal income tax purposes, and are sourced by the residence of the recipient (e.g., if a non-u.s. resident receives a payment under an npc, that payment is, in general, treated as non-u.s. source income for u.s. federal income tax purposes). the usual result of this treatment is that non-u.s. persons can receive payments on an npc without outbound u.s. federal income tax withholding tax being applied. however, the u.s. federal income tax rules governing npcs, withholding tax and the taxation of financial products, in general, is an intricately complicated subject, and taxpayers as a general matter almost always seek the assistance of a competent adviser to assist them in these matters.
