What is the tax deduction for foreign countries?

In some cases, the tax authority of another country would apply withholding tax on our invoices. Your payment may be treated as a royalty fee due to a misunderstanding. Please note that a Bluetooth Qualification Fee is not an actual purchase of a license or royalty. Details on Bluetooth Qualification Process can be found on our website.

Please see attached TRC for a letter of U.S. residency certification to assist with tax relief. Bluetooth SIG requires all invoices to be paid in full.
