Market Taxation Guide – U.S.A.
This Market Taxation Guide (U.S.A.) provides the following details:
- Reference information about all taxes applied at source to ordinary income from U.S. source debt securities/equities deposited in Clearstream1; and
- Instructions for obtaining relief at source or a refund of withholding tax, where these are available, through Clearstream.
Specific income type distributions (e.g. income classified as “other income” for U.S. tax purposes) are not covered in this market taxation guide. Should a tax relief at source or refund service be offered by Clearstream on those distributions, Clearstream clients will be notified accordingly via Swift.
New and improved tax information and procedures that become available will be included on an ongoing basis.
