In terms of fees it's slightly cheaper for me to buy domestic stocks but now by much. I pay €6 for a domestic order so if I purchase €1.100 worth of stock, that's an expense rate of 0,5% per order. For foreign orders my costs are about $10 per order, so if I purchase $1.500 worth of stock, my expense rate is about 0,67%. It's not the best but these costs are incurred only once, instead of yearly costs with ETF and mutual funds.<br /><br />Taxes are a difficult matter. I believe (but am not sure) that with a W8-form I pay a regular tax rate of 15% on dividends received. It's the rate USA/NL agreed upon in their tax treaty. In most situations I would be able to get back this tax with each year's tax return. In NL only wealth is taxed, not the return on capital.A Dividend Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096338627604632904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636904618697845551.post-57664097427667784702014-12-30T16:19:00.114+01:002014-12-30T16:19:00.114+01:00Hi Robin

Unilever is one of my core holdings. How easy it is to invest in the US markets from NL? What kind of fees to you have to pay? What are the consequences on your dividend taxes? <br />Best returns in 2015<br />LTILong Term Investing https://www.blogger.com/profile/09378661043152466882noreply@blogger.com
