USA Dividends


Hammerian

Question

Hi all, Just for clarification, if USA dividend payments are received is the total amount received decreased due to conversion rates If you are UK based? Or are there any charges that would decrease the amount expected? Thanks in anticipation.

Hi @Hammerian,

In the US the dividend withholding tax rate is normally 30%. However, in terms of the double tax agreement between the US and UK (if you are a UK resident), the amount of withholding tax can be reduced to 15% by completing form W-8BEN, issued by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

If the base currency of your account is GBP we will convert the dividend from $ to £.

Thanks,

Jakub

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
