In particular, the new protocol includes significant changes to foster the efficiency of reciprocal direct investment in the U.S. and Spain and brings withholding treaty rates and other provisions in line with the tax treaties in force between the U.S. and the most significant European Union member States. In most cases, the new protocol reduces or even exempts from taxation at source, enhancing the commercial and financing relationships between the U.S. and Spain.
