What are US Stocks?

US Stocks are shares of publicly listed companies in the US. For an Indian investor, buying US stocks involves participating in the US stock market by purchasing shares of American companies. Investing in US stocks allows Indian investors to diversify their investment portfolios geographically and gain exposure to the performance of the US economy and global markets. One notable aspect of investing in US stocks from India is the difference in currency. Since the share price of American companies is denominated in US dollars, the value is comparatively higher than that of Indian listed entities. To enable Indian investors to invest in US Companies with limited or minimal capital, Motilal Oswal offers the option of 'fractional investing.' Fractional investing allows investors to buy and own a fraction of a share rather than a whole share. This feature is useful when the share price of a US stock is high, as it enables investors to invest small amounts of money while still gaining exposure to the stock.

What tax considerations should I be aware of when investing in US stocks?

Following are some of the tax implications that an investor should be aware of before starting investments in US stocks.

Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG):If you hold U.S. stocks for more than 24 months, the gains are classified as LTCG and are taxed at a lower rate in India. You'll pay a flat 20% tax on the LTCG amount, plus any applicable surcharge and cess. However, note that India does not allow indexation benefits for LTCG on U.S. stocks, meaning you can't adjust the purchase price for inflation.

Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG):If you hold U.S. stocks for less than 24 months, the profits are considered STCG and are taxed based on your income tax slab in India. Consequently, depending on your overall income, the tax rate for STCG could be higher than that for LTCG.
