- I just spoke with Vanguard and they say
-
- taxes on short-term capital gains and dividends are witheld
- at source, regardless of the nationality of the investor
-
- This means that it's quite painful for someone abroad to get into
- NYSE index funds using Vanguard, because he'll have to go through
- a great deal of trouble to deal with the tax irritations.
-
- Does a solution come to mind?
-
- Thanks,
-
- -ans.
