Quote from futures_shark:
Like all tax matters it comes down to a definition. In this case, what do you call voting control? If you are the one making all the trades then technically you have 100% control even if you only own 9%.
But once again, how are they to know if you don't tell them?
Does this mean that a nyse company that had a foreign national as ceo making all the decisions, would technically be a foreign company?
