Will I get dividends from the US Stocks I invest in on Pluang?
Yes — if the US stock you invest in distributes dividends, you will receive them. Dividends are distributed to your account after the company's record date. Both non-leveraged and leveraged positions are eligible, though different withholding tax rates apply. See the Corporate Action section for full dividend details.

Who Gets Dividends?
You receive dividends if: 1. The US stock issuer you invest in has declared and distributed dividends to shareholders 2. You hold the stock on or before the record date set by the company
Not all US stocks pay dividends — growth-stage companies often reinvest earnings rather than distributing them. Dividend eligibility depends entirely on the issuer's policy.
Dividend Tax
US stock dividends are subject to withholding tax at source:
| Position Type | Withholding Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Non-leveraged positions | 15% |
| Leveraged positions | 30% |
You will not receive a tax slip for this withholding tax. You are responsible for self-reporting via your annual SPT Tahunan (annual tax return).
