Dividends with ADR stocks

Hi All,

For foreign stocks traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ which pay dividends, how much does the stock holder receive? Is it the amount listed on Google/Yahoo Finance, or is it less due to foreign taxes or fees or whatnot?

Thanks!

 

In my experience they hold back 20%.

1245

 

Thanks

 

Depends on the US's agreement with the particular country. You can look up the treaty rules on the IRS website. 15-30% is typical.
