Taxation
Anheuser-Busch InBev has historically paid an annual cash dividend. Any cash dividends paid to ADR holders on behalf of Anheuser-Busch InBev will be paid in U.S. dollars and are generally taxable, just like dividends on U.S. shares. Further, cash dividends paid by Anheuser-Busch InBev are subject to 25% withholding tax under Belgian law.
Under the income tax conventions between the United States & Belgium and Canada & Belgium, United States and Canadian residents are eligible for reduced Belgian withholding tax (for most people, at a rate of 15% rather than the standard 25%).
ADR holders eligible for the refund must be residents of the United States or Canada in accordance with the aforementioned Convention. Contact your broker or tax advisor for more information and any applicable U.S. tax forms.
