Tax Reclaim Service
Acupay's Tax Reclaim Service
Acupay provides straightforward, easy to use, full-service tax solutions, helping the custodian’s banks, brokers, investment advisors and asset managers from start to finish. We make the process of obtaining the necessary documentation for cross-border tax relief simple and oversee the entire process—from filling out the correct documentation to collecting the withholding tax refunds. We continue working closely with the investor’s custodian bank(s), broker(s) and investment advisors as well as the relevant tax authorities throughout the life cycle of the tax reclaim.
The Acupay System can provide tax relief solutions via a number of channels:
Any investor holding an international portfolio of securities will be affected by withholding taxes on their investment income. Often this capital gains tax, or withholding tax on foreign dividends, as assessed by the nation where the issuer is domiciled, can be reduced by reclaiming it from the relevant foreign tax authorities.
Also known as “Immediate Refund,” this procedure can reduce the amount of excess withholding tax on foreign investments at the source of their issuance, allowing for reimbursement to the client on the same date of payment.
This process allows clients to apply for a refund of excess withholding tax on securities from the appropriate withholding agent, before it has been transferred to the relevant tax authorities.
The standard channel through which an application can be made to reclaim excess withholding tax from the relevant authorities, if full or partial tax relief has not been obtained through relief at source or quick refund.
