Can I reduce the tax that is deducted from my dividends?
Last updated: 12 August 2026
Since 1 September 2022, etoro has started offering Tax Treaty Benefits for residents of some countries who receive dividends from US stocks and ETFs. The tax rate varies according to the treaty agreed by each country. These rates will change if and when the corresponding tax treaty is modified.
These benefits apply to BUY (long) positions on US stocks and ETFs – whether opened manually or copied. They are currently available for etoro personal investment accounts and not for corporate accounts.
We are rolling out this feature gradually in phases and will soon offer it to more users. Please keep a look out for an email when it becomes available to you.

If your country is not listed, this means that there are no tax treaty benefits and the withholding rate remains 30%.
To access tax treaty benefits, you must have signed the W-8BEN form and entered your Tax Identification Number (or equivalent) in your etoro investment account.
