Hi,
I moved recently to Canada from US. When I was in US, I was granted some stocks that have vested recently. I wanted to sell them but I was asked to fill out a W-8BEN. Two questions please.
1.) As a Canadian permanent resident (not a citizen), am I eligible for the tax withholding ?
2.) Could anyone please tell me by how much the taxes will be reduced if I am eligible ?
