Should foreign investor pay taxes on capital gain or dividends?
Answer:
In general, an individual who is not a US citizen nor a tax resident of the US is subject to tax only on US source income. This will include most dividends paid by US corporations, but not most capital gains with respect to shares of US corporations. The corporation paying a dividend should withhold US tax at a 30 percent rate. However, if you are a resident of a country that has a tax treaty with the United States, that treaty should reduce the rate of tax significantly. You must provide the corporation with a Form W-8BEN to inform it of your eligibility for treaty benefits.
