SUBJECT: Payments to B-1 and B-2 Visa Holders
This notice is to update and add to the policy regarding the tax treatment of payments made to B-1 and B-2 visa holders. This change is effective immediately and supersedes previous notices on this subject.
Holders of B-1 and B-2 visas are subject to the following payment limitations THIS HAS NOT CHANGED:
B-1 Visa (Visitors for Business)
________________________________
B-1 visa holders may be reimbursed for incidental traveler, meals , and lodging expenses; however, a B-1 visa holder is not allowed to receive any salary or other remuneration from any University source.
B-2 Visa (Visitors for Pleasure)
________________________________
B-2 visas may not receive payments of salary or other remuneration, including reimbursement for incidental expenses from any University source.
The change is to the sanctions now imposed under Executive Order 12989 which states that an employer not in compliance with the above policy of the Immigration and Naturalization Act may be debarred from receiving Federal contracts. Just to emphasize the importance of compliance, violation of this order would jeopardize the ability of UCSD to receive Federal research awards. Therefore, all university personnel must be in compliance with the limitations stated above when making commitments and when requesting payments to B-1 and B-2 visa holders.
Additionally, we should also be reminded that under sections 274A(a)(1)(A) and 274A(a)(2) of the Act, it is unlawful to knowingly hire an unauthorized alien.
