Best case, if the whole payout is designated as interest-related or short-term-gain dividends and your broker applies the US exemption (IRC 871(k)): 6.33%.

  • Source country assumed: 美國 (from the issuer’s data). Depositary receipts and companies listed outside their home country may be taxed by that home country.
  • US rate 15 % assumes a W-8BEN form is on file with your broker (US–Cyprus treaty); without it the US withholds 30 %.
  • US funds (ETFs, closed-end funds, BDCs) may designate part of a payout as exempt for non-US investors (IRC 871(k)); whether your broker applies it shows on your Form 1042-S.
  • GeSY 2.65 % applies to dividends and interest of every Cyprus resident, domiciled or not, up to €180,000 of income a year.

Cyprus resident, domiciled: 5.36%

What dividend safety is made of

0–100 points: payout versus earnings and cash flow, debt, cut history, growth streak and how stretched the yield looks.

A high yield is not a high return: payouts can come from your own capital and can be cut. Dividend calculator →
