Withholding of tax at source

An employer is required to withhold income taxes from the wages of employees. The tax to be withheld is computed under the percentage method or by use of wage-bracket tables. There is also withholding of tax at source in the case of nonresident aliens receiving fixed or determinable annual or periodic income from United States sources.
