以下所有資訊皆來自 Publication 519 (2012), U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens
想探討的是一般台灣投資人(nonresident alien)在股息(dividend)方面的稅務
先說結論
1.股息屬於 non effective connected income (Non ECI)
美國來源(US source)的股息(dividend)有30% tax
美國公司(如Vanguard)所發行的境外ETF(如VWO)的股息
是否為美國來源,則還沒有確定的答案
2.公司發的股息可粗分為四種
美國公司發的股息屬於美國來源收入(30%稅)
美國公司發的股息不屬於美國來源收入(免稅, 非美國來源收入, from第四章)
外國公司發的股息屬於外國來源收入(免稅, 非美國來源收入, from第四章)
外國公司發的股息屬於美國來源收入(免稅, from第三章)
只要是外國公司發的股息則免30%的稅!
以下為法條來源
直接跳到第二章-Nonresident Aliens-Dividends
--------------------------------------------
In most cases, dividend income received from domestic corporations is U.S.
source income. Dividend income from foreign corporations is usually foreign
source income. Exceptions to both of these rules are discussed below.
在大多數情況下(有例外,網路上大部分的討論並沒有提到有例外)
美國公司發的股息屬於美國來源收入
外國公司發的股息屬於外國來源收入
First exception
Dividends received from a domestic corporation are not U.S.
source income if the corporation elects to take the American Samoa economic
development credit.
例外一
美國公司發的股息"不屬於"美國來源收入的條件為

Second exception
Part of a dividend paid by a foreign corporation is U.S. source income
if at least 25% of the corporation's gross income is effectively connected with
a U.S. trade or business for the 3 tax years before the year in which the
dividends are declared.
例外二
外國公司發的股息"屬於"美國來源收入的條件為
股息declared的前三年,這家公司的total gross income 有25%以上與美國有關
(effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business)
第三章
The following dividend income is exempt from the 30% tax.
以下的股息收入免30%稅
Certain dividends paid by foreign corporations.
There is no 30% tax on U.S.source dividends you receive from a
foreign corporation.
外國公司所發的股息屬於"美國來源",則免30%的稅
PS. 如果沒有這個但書,外國公司所發的股息也有可能被課稅
第四章
The 30% Tax
Tax at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate applies to certain items of income or gains
from U.S. sources but only if the items are not effectively connected with your
U.S. trade or business.
