Wie kann ich die US-Dividendensteuer vermeiden, da ich nicht ansässig bin?

Dividends paid on U.S. stocks are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax for non-U.S. residents. The standard withholding rate is generally 30%, unless a valid tax treaty rate applies.
To claim a reduced treaty rate, where applicable, the account holder must have a valid W-8BEN form on file. The W-8BEN form certifies the account holder’s non-U.S. tax status and may allow a reduced withholding tax rate if there is an applicable tax treaty between the United States and the account holder’s country of tax residence.
Please note that a valid W-8BEN form usually allows for a reduction of the withholding tax rate, not a full elimination of U.S. dividend withholding tax. W-8 forms are generally valid for the year in which they are signed and for the following three calendar years. If the form expires or is not valid, treaty rates may no longer apply and withholding may be applied at the standard rate.
Dividends paid on ADRs may be subject to different withholding tax treatment depending on the issuer’s country, the depositary structure and the applicable tax rules. The withholding tax applied may therefore differ from standard U.S. stock dividends.
MEXEM cannot provide tax advice. Clients should consult a qualified tax adviser to understand the applicable withholding tax rate, any available treaty benefits, and whether a refund or tax credit may be claimed in their country of tax residence.
