Tax Treaty Renewal Deadline for 2021

December 7, 2020

(If a previously claimed tax treaty exemption has already being facilitated by Harvard in the current calendar year 2020)

Per IRS regulations, tax treaties must be renewed annually for employees that will continue their work for Harvard in the U.S. into January of the next calendar year. To meet these requirements and claim a tax treaty exemption for 2021 (if previously determined eligible in 2020), employees MUST complete the three steps below before 5pm on Friday, December 18th, 2020. The renewal process generally takes less than 15 minutes.

Please review important details on the Office of the Controller's website to learn more about the tax treaty renewal deadline, process steps, and GLACIER’s annual system outage schedule.
