Dividends paid on foreign securities are mainly taxed. For example, in the USA, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, better known by its abbreviation FATCA, was passed in 2010 and is directed against tax evasion by American citizens and residents. The adoption of FATCA had major external economic consequences, since it obliges foreign financial institutions to report to the US Internal Revenue Service on the movement of US taxpayers' funds. Otherwise, financial institutions expect sanctions in the form of 30 percent fines on the movement of funds from their correspondent accounts in US banks and even the closure of such accounts. Since our country and the company, in particular, are parties to this agreement, dividends of the company's clients are taxed at 15%.
