What is the dividend withholding rate between Tunisia and United States?

Under the Tunisia-United States tax treaty, the withholding rate on dividends is 20% for portfolio investors (general rate). A reduced rate of 14% 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 20% rate compares to a median of 20% across Tunisia's 1 active treaty partners, and 15% across United States's 64 active partners.

Important: Treaty rates require proper claim forms (e.g., IRS Form W-8BEN for U.S. treaties, HMRC DT-Individual for U.K. treaties, CRA Form NR301 for Canadian treaties) filed before payment. Limitation on Benefits (LOB) provisions may restrict eligibility. A 0% withholding rate does not mean no tax β€” the residence country may still tax the income. This is not tax advice.
