How does Sprintax Dividends help?
If you earn income through overseas investments – be it via a company ESOP, pension fund or trading platform – you may be subject to double taxation, first by foreign withholding tax and then by domestic income tax. Fortunately, depending on tax treaty agreements between the issuing country and your country of residence, you may be able to reclaim much or all of this tax, further boosting your investment return.
Sprintax Dividends is the simple software solution for reclaiming Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT). With built-in tax logic that accounts for treaty benefits and domestic laws, we calculate your estimated tax refund and prepare your ready-to-file application.

What is a Dividend Withholding Tax?
Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT) is a tax deducted at source from dividend payments before they reach investors.

Investors — including individuals, ESOP holders, and institutions — can apply for a refund by filing a claim with the relevant tax authority.

However, in certain cases it may take longer depending on the country and the specific tax office handling your request.
