The UAE does not levy tax on dividends or capital gains, but you may be liable to pay tax in your home country. It is important you consult your own tax, legal and accounting advisors before you start trading with the Exinity Trader Pro professional account to understand the tax implications based on your personal circumstances.
For US Stocks specifically, US tax law requires the withholding of tax for non-US persons (non- resident aliens) at a rate of 30% on payments of US source stock dividends, short-term capital gain distributions and substitute payments in lieu. A client may be eligible for a reduced rate of withholding if there is a treaty in effect between the country of tax residence and the US.
Making sure that your funds are fully protected is our top priority. We keep clients’ funds in completely segregated Client Money accounts. We also offer our Exinity Trader Pro professional account holders negative balance protection.
