Important changes regarding Publicly Traded Partnership Securities (“PTPs”) in the United States of America (the “US”)

The US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a notice pursuant to Section 1446(f) of the US Internal Revenue Code regarding the transfer of benefits to non-US investors in PTPs. This provision applies to the sales, transactions, or transfers (with consideration) of PTPs that occur after January 1, 2023 (inclusive). With effect from 1 January 2023, such investors will incur a 10% withholding tax on gross proceeds from disposals and an additional 10% withholding tax on cash distributions. You may refer to the Addendum: Section 1446(f) rules applicable to the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/partnership-withholding for more details. This is a major amendment to the relevant regulations and as a result, Huatai Financial Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited (“Huatai”) no longer accepts any buy or sell order for PTPs.
