What is the dividend withholding rate between Egypt and Romania?
Under the Egypt-Romania tax treaty, the withholding rate on dividends is 15% for portfolio investors (general rate). A reduced rate of 15% applies when the beneficial owner is a company holding a qualifying ownership stake (typically 10% or more of voting stock). Note that the reduced rate requires the recipient to file the appropriate treaty benefit claim form before payment. This 15% rate compares to a median of 15% across Egypt's 28 active treaty partners, and 15% across Romania's 30 active partners.
