What if I have to pay someone before they arrive in the U.S?.

You can set up an international payee ahead of time only if the individual is receiving a travel grant payment, which may be necessary to arrange their travel to Harvard. This process can be initiated through B2P by selecting the Advance Travel Grant "ADVTR" visa option, which will result in the maximum tax withholding of 30% until the individual completes their Sprintax Calculus profile. The Calculus process can be started shortly before their arrival to the U.S., but the required I-94 document can only be accessed upon arrival to complete the Calculus processThis option cannot be used for advance processing of honoraria or service related payments due to tax and immigration compliance requirements Harvard must adhere to. Please note that tax treaty benefits or reduced withholding cannot be claimed on payments made prior to the completion of Sprintax Calculus.
