Originally posted by @Nicholas Aiola:@Jonathan Bren The portfolio income tax exemption allows non-US investors to lend to US borrowers and not pay US tax on or file US tax returns as a result of the associated interest income.That said, there are a lot of rules and pitfalls to be aware of.This excerpt from a website (https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/the-portfolio-in...) sums it up pretty well:...as a general matter, if (i) a non-U.S. lender (which is unrelated to the U.S. borrower, is not a bank, is not a CFC, and is not engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business), (ii) lends money to a U.S. borrower pursuant to (iii) a registered debt instrument, (iv) which pays a fixed rate of interest, and (v) the non-U.S. lender provides adequate documentation as to its non-U.S. status, then the interest payable pursuant to the loan should qualify for the portfolio interest exemption and, in such a case, no U.S. tax would arise with respect to such interest.I would recommend consulting with an attorney and CPA familiar with US/foreign tax laws to ensure all of the correct steps are being taken.

I went through the setup process meticulously like 5 times, and it says everything is fine, support thinks everything is fine, but I don't get any booking.com messages in Hospitable, nor do the automated messages get sent out.It seems like quite the hack/workaround they have set up with booking.com so I'm wondering if it really works reliably at all.
