Is there a US Withholding Tax on Long Term Capital Gains?

Post by taxxy »

Hi folks,

1) If a Canadian individual owns stock in a private US company (C-corp), and sells it for a long term capital gain (receives cash), is there any US withholding taxes on it?

2) If a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) owns stock in a private US company (C-corp), and sells it for a long term capital gain (receives cash), is there any US withholding taxes on it?

Appreciate your insight,
Taxy
