Hello.I have offshore company(IBC) registered in Belize. My company isn't liable to any taxation in Belize on any international profits( generated outside of Belize, which includes US). I will use this company to open trading account with US-registered broker. I'll be trading primarily forex, but also currency futures and ETFs. This will be my only US activity. I'm predominantly a day-trader, so short-term capital gains. My company WILL NOT have permanent establishment in US(so, income not effectively connected). It will not be a US resident. I'm a citizen of Lithuania and a resident of Poland.Will I be liable to any capital gains taxation in US? My broker will only withhold taxes on dividends and interest(no tax treaty between US and Belize), not on cap. gains. If so, would I need to obtain a TIN or file any tax forms notifying IRS of my cap. gains? W-8BEN ,1040NR? Or both? Will there be any backup withholding on my capital gains? What can I do to avoid it? Thanks.
