Gross-Up Payment Amount Clause Samples
The Gross-Up Payment Amount clause requires one party to increase a payment to the other so that, after the deduction of any applicable taxes or withholdings, the recipient receives the full amount originally intended. In practice, if a payment is subject to tax withholding, the payer must calculate and pay an additional amount to offset the tax, ensuring the net payment remains unaffected. This clause is essential for ensuring that tax obligations do not reduce the agreed-upon payment, thereby allocating the risk of tax deductions to the payer and maintaining the financial expectations of both parties.
