RE: withholding tax

[p4w2000]

From Yesterday CC

"We have been getting questions from a number of non-Canadian resident shareholders about potential withholding tax under U.S. IRS Code 1446. AHIP is not engaged in a trade business in the U.S. for tax purposes. We have issued a qualified notice in this regard and the purpose of this notice is to notify brokers and others that no withholding will apply.

In a limited number of cases where withholding was incorrectly applied, it was quickly reversed. More information on this is available on our website under the Tax section or you can reach out to us directly."
