Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Asian Star stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Asian Star (8946) shares directly through Paasa. Asian Star is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in the Real Estate - Services industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Do I need to buy a full Asian Star share?

Usually more than one, and not a fraction: the Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares. At ¥74.00 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.

How are Asian Star dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Asian Star does not currently pay a dividend, so there is nothing to withhold or declare today. If it starts paying one, japan withholds a preferential 10% on dividends for Indian residents under the India–Japan DTAA rather than the higher domestic rate, and the tax withheld can be claimed as a foreign tax credit in India, and dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Asian Star shares?

Japan generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the JPY/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.

What happens to my Asian Star shares if I pass away?

Japan levies inheritance tax on Japan-located assets such as direct stocks, with an exemption of ¥30 million plus ¥6 million per statutory heir. The rule looks at everything you hold there, not at Asian Star alone.
