Information on Irish withholding tax on interest income

The Irish Revenue Commissioners require IBKR to deduct a withholding tax on interest (not dividends) earned in Ireland. This withholding tax is 20% and must be deducted from the interest paid into your account. To avoid this direct tax deduction, you can use the form described on this page. This must be completed once and is valid for five years (as at 21.12.22).

Definition

Residents of the EU (with the exception of Ireland) or persons who are resident in a country with a double taxation agreement (DTA) with Ireland have the option of reducing or reclaiming Irish withholding tax. For this purpose, form 8-3-6 must be completed and signed or confirmed by the competent tax authority.

Please note that the applicable withholding tax rate depends on the relevant double tax treaty between Ireland and your country of residence. Further information can be found on the website of the Irish supervisory authority:

https://www.revenue.ie/en/tax-professionals/tax-agreements/rates/index.aspx

The withholding tax does not apply to company accounts if they are located in member states of the European Union (with the exception of Ireland) or for companies in countries that have a double taxation agreement (DTA) with Ireland.

Please note that the withholding tax applies to all customers who are Irish Residents (hold their securities account in Ireland), whether they are individuals (including partnerships) or companies. The withholding tax does not apply to clients who are companies in countries that are members of the European Union (other than Ireland) or to companies in countries that have a double taxation treaty (DTA) with Ireland.

For other customers in the EU (excluding Ireland) or if you are not in Ireland but in a country with a Double taxation agreement (DTA) are tax resident with Ireland, you may file Form 8-3-6, which will reduce or zero out your withholding tax. After you have completed the form, please have the local tax office complete and stamp Part 2.

Please note that the withholding tax rate depends on the DTA between Ireland and your country of residence for tax purposes, which you can view on the Irish Revenue website: https://www.revenue.ie/en/tax-professionals/tax-agreements/rates/index.aspx
