Its shares can be purchased from NYSE (ticker symbol NVO) (Level 3 ADR) in USD or if you like, Nasdaq Copenhagen Stock Exchange in Denmark (you need to buy shares in Danish Krone however).

Some info of its shares in Google Finance: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/NVO:NYSE

PNB has stakes in it and it accounts for 0.26% of ASM3's fund NAV as of 30th of Sept. 2021.

How to buy Novo Nordisk in Copenhagen exchange? Seems IBKR don't have access?
*
Sorry, my apologies. Though you can buy NOVO-B on Nasdaq Copenhagen, you can't do so via IB. IB just don't provide service for Denmark onshore securities. laugh.gif

Level 3 ADR should be fine. It's officially listed on an exchange, so there should be liquidity over a pure OTC level 1 unlisted ADR.

If in doubt, have a look at the premium-discount chart provided by Deutsche Bank here: https://www.adr.db.com/drwebrebrand/dr-univ...m-discount-data

NVO on NYSE should trade closely with its NOVO-B parent share back in Copanhagen. The chart should provide you some comfort.

Last thing to note is: Novo-Nordisk, like Roche, has a dual-class share structure where the founder owns 70-80% of voting rights while the rest of us can only have the remaining 20-30% voting powers despite we (not the founding family) provide 70-80% of the share capital, and the founding family only provide 20-30% of the capital. So there is corporate governance risk to bear.

No. It's actually 0%. drool.gif (The tax-friendly treatment probably explains PNB's large position in this counter. Your friend in SG not so lucky, they still need to pay 10% WHT to Danish tax authorities.)

https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/denmark/corpor...thholding-taxes

This is the official Double taxation agreemen between Malaysian and Denmark, confirming that no WHT is withheld: https://phl.hasil.gov.my/pdf/pdfam/DenmarkDTA_06032018.pdf

In other words, you can claim back all the dividends withheld from Danish authorities. biggrin.gif

The Danish authorities are so nice that if the processing time takes longer than 6 months, they will pay you interest on top of the dividends withheld. laugh.gif

Thanks for sharing. This is fantastic and can be a viable long term investment. I have many Danish stocks that I like...

Just another noob question. Since we buy ADR so essentially the WHT is at the IBKR side. So the process is to request tax voucher from IBKR then proceed with the Claim procedure?
*
Can share which Danish stocks you like? biggrin.gif Lego is a private company, as much as I like to play Lego bricks. Maersk's Level 1 OTC ADR AMKBY is unsponsored, so can't do anything either. Same for Carlsberg's CABGY OTC L1 ADR too.

As for WHT, try writing to IBKR and inquire them about that. Consider contacting Danish tax authorities too. I wrote to IB to ask for my ADR refund for my Novartis ADR's dividend WHT refund but IB has not replied after 2-3 months, to date. Come to the worst, I will just email my tax specialist in Bern again and ask. laugh.gif

Have a look at the 20-F filing from Novo Nordisk with the SEC. https://www.novonordisk.com/content/dam/nnc...m-20-f-2021.pdf Use your browser's search function to search for "dividend withholding" and have a read from page 22 onwards (Item 10: Additional Information, Section E. Taxation.)

QUOTE
Withholding Tax
Generally, Danish withholding tax is deducted from dividend payments to U.S. Holders at a 27% rate, the rate generally applicable to non-residents in Denmark without regard to eligibility for a reduced treaty rate. Under the current Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income (the ‘Current Convention’), the maximum rate of Danish tax that may be imposed on a dividend paid to a U.S. Holder that does not have a ‘permanent establishment’ (as defined therein) in Denmark is generally 15% and, for certain pension funds, 0% (each, the ‘Treaty Rate’). U.S. Holders eligible for the Treaty Rate may apply to the Danish tax authorities to obtain a refund to the extent that the amount withheld reflects a rate in excess of the Treaty Rate (any such amount, the ‘Excess Withholding Tax’).

Any U.S. Holders of ADRs wishing to apply for a refund of Excess Withholding Tax will have to provide a Danish Claim for Refund of Danish Dividend Tax, a properly completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 6166 and additional documentation including: proof of dividend received; proof of ownership of the ADR and eligibility for the dividend received and proof that the dividend received was reduced by an amount corresponding to the Danish withholding tax. These documentation requirements may be expanded and may be subject to change. Refund claims must be filed within the three-year period following the date in which the dividend was paid in Denmark.

Information on tax reclaims, how they should be filed and the requisite tax forms may be obtained from:

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
c/o Globe Tax Services, Inc.
1 New York Plaza, 34th Floor
New York, New York 10004 USA
Phone: +1 (212) 747 9100

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding dividend withholding tax refunds.

Yes, Carlsberg and Maersk is on my watchlist. I checked level 1 OTC ADR means they are pink sheets, illiquid and not undergo full registration by SEC. And the accounting may not meets SEC requirement. There is no mentioning any difference in WHT treatment. I guess we can also claim the WHT refund just like a level 3 ADR right?

As for the IBKR tax voucher thing, I think IBKR may not be very supportive to the request of this type of administrative service involving a staff to carry out the manual paperwork. Hence this may not be the best way to go for long term.

Still the best for long term is to go for ADR like UL that is straightforward and give you dividend with no WHT so no need to run the errand to tax department for the claim...
*
For those ADRs, being Level 1 isn't the main issue for tax. The unlisted nature only concerns with liquidity and governance. The main issue is the unsponsored nature. If the ADR is not sponsored, the company has no vested interest to handle all these tax-related issues since it is the banks who offer them without the supervision from the parent company (you will find no mention of LVMUY on LVMH's official website, no mention of AMKBY on A/P Moller Maersk's official website etc.). And you bear significant counterparty risk with the bank holding these securities on your behalf without the company's knowledge/official involvement. For tax-related issues, you can only deal with the bank by inquiring them, and not the company. You may contact the tax authorities though. There is no guarantee that the refund will be the same as a Level 2/3 ADR since tax refunds depend on the tax domicile of the company. It could be that you need to contact the ADR bank to handle it for you, or you go straight to the authorities and seek refund from them.

Yes, if you want to avoid hassles just stick to counters whose tax-domiciled country has no WHT in first place, rather than having to go through the torture to reclaim it back later.

But honestly, I enjoy the process of dealing with these issues though. Learning to communicate with foreign tax authorities and understand foreign tax laws are not something everyone enjoy, but the payoff can be huge if you reinvest the proceeds from the refunds. This is because DTA agreements don't change very often. So one-time knowledge can be applied for decades to come. The opportunity cost is considerably higher if companies have increasing dividend payouts over the years.
