I was informed by my broker that there has been a change to the rules with regard to derivatives in the US where tax is now deducted, this is maybe what is causing it.

Does the W-8BEN-E apply to companies or just individuals?
I have one for US stocks held in my SIPP, but that's in my name.
Sounds like a cock-up, give them a ring.

But I would expect that your broker would have been able to tell you that.
I have raised a second ticket with them with detailed information (after they tried to fob me off initially). Let's see what they say.Last edited by OneManBand; 17 May 2017, 06:54.

LSE listed ETFs hit by US dividend tax
I hold ETFs in an investment account owned by my Ltd co.
For some reason, this year my broker has started withholding full 30% of US taxes on dividends. This has never happened before, and I have always diligently filled in my W-8BEN-E. I have tried to get an answer from the broker, but pulling out my own teeth is easier than getting a straight answer from them, and my accountant is clueless about foreign taxation.
Anyone else experiencing this, and does anyone know exactly how to fill in W-8BEN-E to avoid this?
The worst thing is, the ETF in question is listed in London Stock Exchange, in GBP --- I didn't even buy a US stock!
Thanks.
