今回は日本に居住されている方の、外国証券投資に関する、
所得税についてまとめてお伝えいたします。
■Ⅰ■. 外国証券にかかる利子・配当の税率について
日本にお住いの方が、外国の株式や債券に投資を行う場合でも、
前回同様に、日本の税金だけではなく発行地国でも課税される場合があります。
このような場合は、租税条約が有効に活用されて、
二重に税金がかからないように配慮されています。
利子・配当については、下記の表のように発行国(源泉地国)で
課税することができる税率の上限を定めています。
しかし、国によっては制限税率を超えて徴収されることもあります。
この場合は相手国に直接還付請求して所得税を取り戻す手続きが必要になります。

■Ⅱ■. 外国証券の課税の全体像について
日本にお住いの方が所有される外国証券についても、日本株式と同じように
「株式、債券、投資信託、デリバティブ取引」など区分をして、
国内での所得の判断をし、それぞれに合った申告方法を選択することになります。
ご参考までに一般的は判定方法を下記に表しています。

さて、21世紀になり、経済においては世界のどこにいても、事業拠点がどこであっても、
いつでも企業は取引が行えるようになりました。
しかし、バンデミックの影響で、近年は国境の閉鎖や、
保護貿易主義が強くなり国境を越えた移動の有効性の急低下が顕著になってきています。
たとえば、海外旅行や留学生、移住の減少が含まれ、
同時に企業の海外進出や海外撤退を促しました。
これは世界貿易の複数のサプライチェーンの見直しや破壊をもたらしました。
このような脱グローバル化や国内回帰が今後も加速する傾向なのでしょうか。
おそらく、米国や中国、カナダのような巨大な国でない限り、
自国だけで経済が成り立つ国は少なく、国内回帰は非常に困難ではないかと思われます。
一方、企業の国内回帰やサプライチェーンの変化が進むほど、
個人の保有資産は安全性や投資効率を求めて、新たな国に移動するかもしれません。
デジタル技術の発展がそれを可能にし、
個人の志向にあった海外投資は一層活発化するのではないでしょうか。

◇ Topic "Global Income Tax -2-" -Foreign Securities Investment-
――――――――――――――――――――――
This time, we will tell you about income tax related to foreign securities investment for those living in Japan.
■Ⅰ■. Interest and dividend tax rates on foreign securities
Even if a person residing in Japan invests in foreign stocks or bonds, they may be taxed not only in Japan but also in the country of issue, as was the case last time.
In such cases, tax treaties are used effectively to avoid double taxation.
Regarding interest and dividend, the upper limit of the tax rate that can be taxed in the issuing country (source country) is set as shown in the table below.
However, in some countries, taxes may be collected in excess of the maximum tax rate.
In this case, it is necessary to apply for a refund directly to that country and recover the income tax.
≪ Taxation on interest and dividend in each country: as of May 2022 ≫
⇒ In these highlighted countries, tax is uniformly withheld for non-residents regardless of the tax treaty, so you will have to apply for refund with the respective governments for the amount exceeding the limit tax rate.
(a) The Amendment Protocol to the US-Japan Tax Treaty came into effect in August 2019 exempting tax from the original 10%.
(b) Government bond and Eurobonds will be 0%.
(c) Shanghai B shares, Shenzhen B shares, Hong Kong H shares
■Ⅱ■. Overall Picture of Taxation of Foreign Securities
As with Japanese stocks, foreign securities held by people residing in Japan are classified into categories such as "stocks," "bonds," "investment trusts," and "derivative transactions," and their domestic income is determined. You will have to choose the appropriate application method.
For your reference, the general judgment method is shown below.
≪ Taxation method for foreign financial instruments: 2022 (excluding reconstruction tax)≫
(A) Dividend deductions do not apply to dividends from foreign stocks or distributions from foreign stock investment trusts. If the tax is withheld in a foreign country, the withholding tax rate will be applied to the amount after deducting the foreign tax amount, and the foreign tax credit will be applied in the final tax return.
(B) If the tax is withheld in a foreign country, the withholding tax rate will be applied to the amount after deducting the foreign tax amount, and the foreign tax credit will be applied in the final tax return.
(C). If tax is withheld in a foreign country, the tax rate will be adjusted to 20% before adding the special income tax for reconstruction together with the domestic tax rate. (Difference collection method)

Now, in the 21st century, the economy allows companies to transact at any time, no matter where they are in the world or where they are based.
However, due to the impact of the pandemic, the closure of borders and the sharp decline in the effectiveness of cross-border movement due to stronger protectionism in recent years have become noticeable.
For example, it included a reduction in overseas travel, study abroad, and immigration, while at the same time encouraging companies to expand and exit overseas.
This has resulted in the restructuring and disruption of multiple supply chains of global trade.
Will this deglobalization and return to the domestic market continue to accelerate in the future?
Unless you are a huge country like the United States, China, or Canada, few countries can sustain their own economies, and it would be extremely difficult for them to return to their home countries.
On the other hand, as more companies return to Japan and changes in supply chains progress, personal assets may move to new countries in search of safety and investment efficiency.
The development of digital technology will make this possible, and I believe that overseas investment that suits individual tastes will become even more active.
