Hi bro,

Appreciate if you could help me with my doubt here. For IB, if I hold says 20K USD worth of ETF & equities, but has only 5K fund left in account to purchase other ETF/equities, would IB ask to close my account?

Also another scenario where I hold 120K USD worth of ETF & equities, but has only 5K fund left in account to purchase other ETF/equities, would IB still charging me inactivity fees every month(assuming my monthly doesn't hit up to 10 USD).

Thanks.

Thanks bro!

Bro Ramjade

Are we able to buy US listed ETF(for example NYSEARCA: SPY) & equities(for example NASDAQ: FB) via SCB SG? How about LSE listed ETF & equities?

Appreciate your help

Hi all,

I'm trying to open Interactive Broker account. During the process, I was asked to fill in the following:

1. My Tax Residency
2. Employer Info

My questions:

I actually working in Europe and I pay tax in Europe. The obvious reason of I try to open up Interactive Broker account and plan to fund the account using SGD account in Singapore is to avoid the capital gain tax in Europe(the place I work). Can I fill in my Tax Residency country as Malaysia and use my Malaysia Tax Identification Number? On the other hand, can I provide my employer details with the contact info from my company Malaysia branch?

And what should I pay attention to to avoid trouble with W-8BEN?

Thanks.
