Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Grafton stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Grafton (GFTU) shares directly through Paasa. Grafton is listed on the London Stock Exchange, in the Industrial - Distribution 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 Grafton dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Grafton trades on the London Stock Exchange but is domiciled in Ireland, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the UK. 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 Grafton shares?
Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed shares. 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 GBP/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.
Is there stamp duty when I buy Grafton shares?
The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it.
