What are the key dates relating to stock Dividends?
Übersicht:
Key dates relating to stock dividends are as follows:
1. Declaration Date - date at which company's board of directors approves dividend payment and designates the Payment Date and Record Date.
2. Record Date - the date which determines which stockholders are entitled to receive the dividend payment. You need to own the shares as of the close of the Record Date in order to receive the dividend.
3. Ex-Dividend Date - the date on or after which the stock will be traded without the right to receive the dividend. Because most stock trades in the US settle regular way; that is, two business days after the trade, an individual must purchase the stock two business days before the Record Date to qualify for the dividend. The Ex-Dividend Date is therefore one business day before the Record Date.
4. Payment Date - the date on which the declared dividend is paid to all stockholders owning shares on the record date.
* Please note these key dates may be different for special dividends. Please reference KB 3043 for information regarding special dividends.
Are non-US residents subject to withholding for tax purposes?
Übersicht:
Information relating to tax obligations is reported as required to the tax authorities within your country of residence as well as other countries if trading products subject to any local withholding requirements. Unless specifically directed by a taxing authority, IBKR does not withhold taxes on proceeds from security sales. We are required by US tax law, for example, to withhold US taxes on dividends paid by US corporations to foreign persons at a rate of 30%. This rate may be lower if the US has entered into a tax treaty with your country. In addition, investment interest income is not subject to US withholding. All withholdings for non-US persons and most entities will be reported on Form 1042-S at the close of each year. For further information refer to IRS publication 901 and/or your tax advisor.
