What are CFDs on Stocks?

A stock CFD is the contract-for-difference of a specific stock that allows traders to speculate the direction of the stock price and open a position accordingly, long/buy position if they believe the price will rise, short/sell position if the speculation is that the price will fall.

US STOCK TRADING

The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires all non-US resident holders of US equity derivatives – (this includes CFDs ) to be taxed on dividend adjustments.

What does it mean for me?

When trading any US listed equities with CopyTradingClub , the Dividend adjustments on your long positions are credited to your account, and the applicable withholding taxes are automatically deducted.

How much will be deducted?

The deduction rate varies depending on the underlying market, but where a treaty between Australia and the relevant market exists, the rate may be reduced to 15%. Please note that the withholding tax deduction doesn't apply to short positions.
