RE:RE:RE:RE:TFSA and dividends 40% not subject to withholding..confirmed
RE:RE:RE:RE:TFSA and dividends 40% not subject to withholding..confirmedLet me clarify:
- IRS (US) withholding tax is 15% of the taxable component of the monthly distribution (currently estimated at 60% of the total distribution; you will observe that you are receiving your monthly distribution in two components in a 60:40 split)
- The annual tax slip T5013 will show the total of US tax paid - which is claimable as a Foreign Tax Credit on the Canadian tax form
- The T5013 will also show the total annual Return of Capital - which should be used to reduce your ACB (annually)
- Upon sale of HOT.UN units, the sale proceeds are not repeat not subject to IRS withholding tax. Rather your capital gain (= net sale proceeds minus the updated ACB) will be reported on your Canadian tax form and will be taxed at whatever your marginal tax rate is (income dependent).
Clear now?
