 foreign currency calculated by reference to the applicable exchange rate on the day the U.S. holder receives the distribution, regardless of whether the foreign currency is converted into USD at that time. Any foreign currency gain or loss a U.S. holder realises on a subsequent conversion of foreign currency into USD will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If dividends received in a foreign currency are converted into USD on the day they are received, a U.S. holder should not be required to recognise foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs
Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” below, a U.S. holder will generally recognise capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realised from such sale or exchange and the U.S. holder’s adjusted basis in the ordinary shares or ADSs, each amount determined in USD. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in an ordinary share or ADS generally will be equal to the USD cost of such ordinary share or ADS. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such ordinary share or ADS exceeds one year as of the date of sale or other disposition. Long-term capital gain realised by a non-corporate U.S. holder is generally eligible for preferential reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to certain limitations. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. holder recognises generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to certain dividends, rents, interest or royalties received from its affiliates and taking into account its proportionate share of the income and assets of its 25% or more owned subsidiaries, either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income”, or (ii) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross assets is attributable to cash in excess of working capital requirements or assets that produce “passive income” or are held for the production of “passive income”.
