Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM) shares directly through Paasa. Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the Chemicals - Specialty 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 Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile share?
No. You can buy part of one Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile share and add to your position over time. One share is $66.08, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.
How are Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile trades on the New York Stock Exchange but is domiciled in Chile, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. What trades there is a depositary receipt over Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile shares rather than the ordinary share itself. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. 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 Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile 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.
