OPINION

HOLMES, Judge:

The Code puts a 30-percent tax on "fixed or determinable annual or periodical" income received by foreign corporations from sources within the United States. Vitro, S.A. is a Mexican corporation that charged one of its U.S. subsidiaries a fee to guarantee the subsidiary's debt to U.S. lenders. The question presented in this case is whether that fee is from a source within the United States.
