Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Bridgestone stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Bridgestone (5108) shares directly through Paasa. Bridgestone is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in the Auto - Parts 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 Bridgestone share?
Usually more than one, and not a fraction: the Tokyo Stock Exchange typically trades in units of 100 shares. At ¥3,839.00 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.
How are Bridgestone dividends taxed for Indian investors?
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. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Bridgestone’s current yield is 3.06%. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment, which is what you need when you file.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Bridgestone 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 Bridgestone 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 Bridgestone alone.
