Section 871(m) establishes a withholding tax on dividend-equivalent payments to non-US people under equity derivatives, in response to certain non-US financial institutions using well-timed equity derivatives to dodge the up to 30 percent withholding tax on payments from US equities to non-US citizens.

The data management implications of the law require banks and brokers to monitor which instruments fall into the scope of the tax mandate, and implement withholding and reporting if needed
