Your W-8BEN is expiring – if you previously completed a W-8BEN then we’re letting you know it will expire on 31 December. You’ll need to renew before then if you want to continue holding and trading US shares in your HL account.
or:
You’ve never completed a W-8BEN with HL – if this is the case you also need to complete a W-8BEN before 31 December to continue holding and trading US shares in your HL account. If you hold Canadian shares, this form is optional, but may allow a potential reduction in tax rates.
