Dividends without Withholding

Dividends from some countries are paid in full to the stockholder with no withholding tax. So it may be prudent to look for high quality stocks in those countries.

  • United Kingdom
  • Brazil
  • Hong Kong
  • Singapore
  • Hungary
  • Estonia
  • Latvia
  • United Arab Emirates
  • Qatar
  • Malaysia
  • Vietnam

Singapore: Overseas-Chinese Bank (OCBC), Singapore, Y=6.37%, Payout ratio=62%

It would be important to research the strength of the countries' currencies. A growing dividend may be offset by a declining currency. According to Forbes, the strongest currencies in the world (in August, 2024) are from Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Britain and Switzerland.
