Changes to Withholding Tax on US Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) Securities
 
 

Please be informed that The US Internal Revenue Service has issued a new provision under Section 1446(f) of the Internal Revenue Code.

A 10% withholding tax will apply to:

1. Gross proceeds from the sale of a Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) securities

2. Certain PTP distributions


Exception applies.



How does it impact you

The new provision primarily impact non-US residents who invest in PTP securities on the Gross proceeds from sale of a PTP and certain PTP distribution.

With effect from 1 January 2023, this new withholding tax will be applied on trades of PTP Securities, over and above the existing withholding tax of 37% on PTP distributions.

In view of the above and in consideration of its impact to PTP holders:

  • We encourage those who have such holdings to sell by 28 Dec 2022 to avoid the 10% withholdng tax
  • New and further purchase of PTP is discouraged, in view of the additional tax
  • We will not accept PTP securities transfer in request from clients with immediate effect
