Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US stocks? Here's what US estate tax means for you.
US-listed shares held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.
There are two ways to plan for it: keep the right estate documentation in place, or get your financial services exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Safeguard Acquisition stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Safeguard Acquisition (SAC) shares directly through Paasa. Safeguard Acquisition is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the Financial - Conglomerates 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 Safeguard Acquisition share?
No. You can buy part of one Safeguard Acquisition share and add to your position over time. One share is $10.10, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.
How are Safeguard Acquisition dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Safeguard Acquisition does not currently pay a dividend, so there is nothing to withhold or declare today. If it starts paying one, the US withholds 25% tax on dividends before they reach you; Paasa files Form W-8BEN for you, and the tax withheld can generally be claimed as a credit when you file in India, and dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Safeguard Acquisition shares?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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 USD/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 Safeguard Acquisition shares if I pass away?
US-listed shares held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. There are two ways to plan for it: keep the right estate documentation in place, or get your financial services exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
