Frequently asked questions
Can I buy China International stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy China International (BEH) shares directly through Paasa. China International is listed on the Singapore Exchange, in the Regulated Water industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
How are China International dividends taxed for Indian investors?
China International trades on the Singapore Exchange but is domiciled in Hong Kong SAR China, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of Singapore. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell China International shares?
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax on the sale of shares, ETFs or REITs. 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 SGD/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.
