A non-US tax resident (the investor) is subject to US tax on his/her US source income. Most types of US source income received by the investor is subject to US tax of 30% (or lower rates under applicable tax treaties or exemptions), and this includes dividends of US listed securities. Such tax will be withheld from the payment made to the investor and is therefore known as the withholding tax. Some companies that listed on SGX/ HKEX, but are incorporated outside of the respective exchanges country (Singapore and Hong Kong) might subject to withholding tax as well.
