But I am happy to hold nonetheless for now!<br /><br />I agree it is a little unfair. However, I guess US companies recognise that UK investors (and other nationalities) are happy to take on a little more difficulty in order to invest in the US because of their status as the biggest economy (and stable democracy and market). There is probably little to gain from listing here. Sad, I agree. But understandable from the perspective of the board of directors across the Atlantic!<br /><br />Yes, the SIPP matter is very annoying. When we were talking about SIPPs before I was tempted to open one as my "overseas investment vehicle" so to speak. I still may, but as you say they are inconsistent in how they handle the foreign tax benefits of pensions.<br /><br />I will keep prodding and poking until I fathom what best to do! Thanks again for the helpful comments as always!Dividend Drivehttp://dividend-drive.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887408586168605394.post-75707070242879085972015-05-15T08:17:00.188+01:002015-05-15T08:17:00.188+01:00Don't forget, in to of the forex charges, you&...Don't forget, in to of the forex charges, you'll lose 30% of that new dividend in tax, unless you've signed all the appropriate forms to reduce the 30% to 15%<br /><br />I find it grossly unfair that English companies list on the NYSE, and thus US citizens can take advantage of their own American tax federal options, whereas US companies do not bother to list on the London markets. The only way around the tac is if you but US shares in your SIPP, then you can avoid the tax, but apparently a lot of brokers do not even help you at this up.
