Hi Anon,

Assuming your investments are listed in the US for US stocks, and you're an SG investor, capital gains tax = 0%, dividend withholding tax = 30%.

For AU stocks, if they are listed in AU and you're an SG investor, capital gains tax = 0%, dividend withholding tax = 15% (not too sure about this).

Hope this helps!

Regards,
