such partnership shall pay a withholding tax under this section at such time and in such manner as the Secretary shall by regulations prescribe.
 
(b)
Amount of withholding tax
 
(1)
In general
 
The amount of the withholding tax payable by any partnership under subsection (a) shall be equal to the applicable percentage of the effectively connected taxable income of the partnership which is allocable under section 704 to foreign partners.
 
(2)
Applicable percentage
 
For purposes of paragraph (1), the term "applicable percentage" means -
 
(A)
the highest rate of tax specified in section 1 in the case of the portion of the effectively connected taxable income which is allocable under section 704 to foreign partners who are not corporations, and
 
(B)

(c)
Effectively connected taxable income
 
For purposes of this section, the term "effectively connected taxable income" means the taxable income of the partnership which is effectively connected (or treated as effectively connected) with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States computed with the following adjustments:
 
(1)
Paragraph (1) of section 703(a) shall not apply.
 
(2)
The partnership shall be allowed a deduction for depletion with respect to oil and gas wells but the amount of such deduction shall be determined without regard to sections 613 and 613A.
 
(3)
There shall not be taken into account any item of income, gain, loss, or deduction to the extent allocable under section 704 to any partner who is not a foreign partner.

Treatment of foreign partners
 
(1)
Allowance of credit
 
Each foreign partner of a partnership shall be allowed a credit under section 33 for such partner's share of the withholding tax paid by the partnership under this section.
