The One Big Beautiful Bill Act Adds IRC Section 899: How It Would Work?

As if the world of investing isn’t complex enough, then US investing could be getting more complex. A potential increase of dividend withholding tax from 15% to 35% for US dividends. This could get passed. So you either suck it up, go EX US, or if I am thinking correctly.. synthetic swap-based Etfs. Has anyone had any musings on this topic? :folded_hands:

Good luck to the US selling any treasuries if they invoke this. They’ll just have to find another way to fund that juicy deficit.

Yes I agree, it may/ may not go thru..but with Trump and his crooked lawyers I wouldn’t rule this out. It could be very serious.
