  • WTax

    WTax

    WTax, the industry leader in fully outsourced foreign withholding tax recovery services, currently works with over 5,000 funds globally to provide withholding tax recovery services over and above those of the standard custodian bank. Due to the custodian’s inability to provide tax advice, they are often unable to utilize all available reclaim methodologies, which inadvertently leaves value on the table. With tax-filing requirements becoming increasingly complex, and foreign tax authorities’ rising scrutiny of investors eligibility for tax recovery, the demand for a sophisticated outsourced recovery specialist has never been higher. By utilizing WTax’s services, investors can reduce the withholding tax rate down to as low as 0% on certain investments, and on average, a WTax client will experience a fund performance increase of 5 basis points per year.

    More information on their services can be found at wtax.co.
