Apple is trading at 150/152 and you are of the view that Apple’s latest product release will boost sales. You decide to purchase 100 shares of AAPL. For each contract, one point (a price movement of 1) is equal to $1 USD.
With 100 contracts, every point that the bid quote on AAPL rises above 152 you will make a profit of $100 USD, and for every point the bid quote falls below 152 you will lose $100 USD.
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires all non-US resident holders of US equity derivatives – (this includes CFDs ) to be taxed on dividend adjustments.
What does it mean for me?
When trading any US listed equities with IC Markets, the Dividend adjustments on your long positions are credited to your account, and the applicable withholding taxes are automatically deducted.
How much will be deducted?
The deduction rate varies depending on the underlying market, but where a treaty between Australia and the relevant market exists, the rate may be reduced to 15%. Please note that the withholding tax deduction doesn’t apply to short positions.
What Should I do?
If you are an INDIVIDUAL and want the applicable reduced rate, please fill out “Form W-8BEN” and upload it to your Client Area.
If you are an ENTITY and want the applicable reduced rate, please fill out “Form W-8BEN-E” and upload it to your Client Area.
