Cross-border

Cross-border withholding tax calculator

A cross-border withholding tax calculator shows how much tax the paying country deducts from dividends, interest or royalties sent abroad. TaxOrch identifies which country withholds, shows its domestic rate and the published treaty rate side by side, and states the conditions — residence, beneficial ownership, holdings — that decide which applies.

How TaxOrch does it

  1. Who withholds

    Withholding is charged by the country the payment leaves. TaxOrch reads the direction from the question or the form.

  2. Domestic and treaty rates

    Both the domestic rate and the published treaty rate are shown, each with its source.

  3. Conditions stated

    The facts that decide eligibility for the treaty rate are listed, never assumed.

  4. Ask with the amount

    Include the payment amount in the question to see what is withheld under each rate.

Questions buyers ask

Which rate applies, domestic or treaty?

The treaty rate applies only when its conditions are met; otherwise the domestic rate does. TaxOrch shows both and the conditions.

Which payments are covered?

Dividends, interest and royalties between countries where published rates are available.

Does it replace a treaty analysis?

No. It gives the published rates and conditions to check; eligibility is a professional judgement.

Decision support, not tax advice. A professional reviews before anything is filed.
