A non-resident who is the beneficial owner of domestic source income under Article 119 and intends to apply the reduced tax rate stipulated in a tax treaty shall submit a written application for the application of the reduced tax rate and documents proving that they are the beneficial owner of domestic source income (hereinafter referred to as "application documents, etc." in this Article) to the withholding agent under Article 156 (1) (hereinafter referred to as "withholding agent" in this Article), as prescribed by Presidential Decree. <Amended by Act No. 16157, Dec. 31, 2018; Act No. 17763, Dec. 29, 2020; Act No. 18634, Dec. 31, 2022>

If the withholding agent receives the application documents, etc. from the beneficial owner or the offshore investment vehicle under paragraph ① or ②, they may request supplementation of any missing or incomplete items in the submitted application documents, etc. If the withholding agent fails to receive the application documents, etc. or the offshore investment vehicle's report from the beneficial owner or the offshore investment vehicle, or if the beneficial owner cannot be identified through the submitted documents for reasons prescribed by Presidential Decree, the withholding agent shall not apply the reduced tax rate and shall withhold tax at the rates specified in each subparagraph of Article 156 (1). <Amended by Act No. 18634, Dec. 31, 2022>
