Frequently asked questions
Can I buy ZW Data Action Technologies stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy ZW Data Action Technologies (CNET) shares directly through Paasa. ZW Data Action Technologies is listed on NASDAQ, in the Advertising Agencies 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 ZW Data Action Technologies share?
No. You can buy part of one ZW Data Action Technologies share and add to your position over time. One share is $2.05, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.
How are ZW Data Action Technologies dividends taxed for Indian investors?
ZW Data Action Technologies trades on NASDAQ but is domiciled in Hong Kong SAR China, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. 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 ZW Data Action Technologies 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.
