Withholding Tax
Does the U.S. withhold any tax?
The U.S. withholds tax on dividends paid to shareholders of U.S. securities. There is no tax withheld on the selling of shares.
Non-U.S. residents with a completed W-8BEN (or W9 for U.S. tax residents) tax form are subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividend payments; without a lodged tax form, that’s 30%.
When you sign up and fund your Stake Wall St account for the first time, we digitally complete the W-8BEN (or W9 if you’re a U.S. tax resident) on your behalf and cover the administrative fee (usually US$5).
Please note, this information is correct at the time of publication and is not intended to be advice. We recommend you obtain independent and professional advice regarding your personal tax implications.
