RE: new tax law
RE: new tax lawThe 15% is taken out by the Cdn. government on accounts owned by foreign residents. The US government will give you a credit of this amount against anymore tax that they think you should pay to the US government.
It works the same way in reverse for Canadians investing in the US. The US government withholds 15% tax and the Cdn. government gives us a credit of that amount against anymore tax that we will owe on these earnings.
I hope that clears it up.
