EDS/6 - Elective Dividends - US Tax Withholding

As a U.S. tax withholding agent, DTC:

  • Issues settlement statements that will reflect the gross dividend amount, tax amounts withheld at each designated rate and net dividends paid

  • Remits tax funds to the IRS on a quarter-monthly schedule

  • Prepares and sends the appropriate year-end 1042-S tax forms to non-U.S. participants
