Frequently Asked Questions

What are NR301 and NR302 forms used for?

From January 2012 there will be a change in Regulation for holders of Canadian securities for certain account types. The regulations require we hold a permanent address on file for all our customers who have one of the following accounts types, who hold shares in companies that have their primary listing on a Canadian Market.

These accounts are:

  • Trust Account

  • Company Account,

  • Investment Club Account,

  • Power of Attorney

  • Estate of Account,

  • or have a Care Of (C/O) or a PO box address.

Where the account is registered to a PO Box address we require you to send us a separate letter detailing the reasons why the country you reside in only has a PO Box address system.

What will happen if I do not complete the form?

If you do not complete and return the form to us your withholding tax will change from 15% to 25%.

Please note we are unable to offer tax advice, if you are unsure as to the correct completion of the forms, please speak to an independent tax advisor.
