US Stocks - Important Documentation

If you wish to invest in US (United States) stocks and shares, you will need to complete a Form W-8BEN Substitute; this is appropriate for single / joint Trading and Trading Plus Accounts, and ISAs. If you have another account type (for example, a Company Account) you will need to complete a Form W-8BEN.

As part of our obligations to the IRS we are required to document all holders of US securities. Additionally, should you reside in a country that has a treaty with the US you may benefit from treaty relief in respect of dividend and interest payments.
