Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Highlight Communications stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Highlight Communications (HLG) shares directly through Paasa. Highlight Communications is listed on XETRA, in the Media & Entertainment 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 Highlight Communications dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Highlight Communications trades on XETRA but is domiciled in Switzerland, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of Germany. 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 Highlight Communications 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 EUR/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.
