Information regarding withholding tax Information for nominee registered non-resident shareholders: According to a new guidance given by the Finnish Tax Administration (“FTA”) in March 2020, stricter conditions will be applied to withholding tax rates below 15 % on dividends paid to nominee registered non-resident shareholders. If the withholding tax levied on the dividend has been less than 15 % in the past years based on the applicable double taxation treaty, it is likely that no similar double taxation treaty benefits at source will be received starting 2020 due to the new FTA guidance. If a nominee registered non-resident shareholder is eligible for a lower withholding tax rate based on a double taxation treaty but a higher withholding tax is levied on the dividend, the shareholder can either apply for a so called quick refund from the custodian bank during the year of the dividend payment or apply for a withholding tax refund from FTA on a year following the dividend payment.
