Personal income Tax
Hello I have a question on International tax laws. I do some trading and investing in the markets, and have been trading with a Firm that is over in Hong Kong China, and I am trying to make a withdrawal into my USA Bank account and I was told before I can receive the withdrawal I will have to pay a 2% Personal Income Tax on the withdrawal amount before receiving the withdrawal. I was just informed of this and I do not want to get taxed twice for this as all the trading was done from my PC in my home so I do not understand how they can say I owe them this tax as I asked my CS Rep with this trading firm and I was told that because the firm is in Hong Kong they can charge me this tax so is that correct or not as I do not want to have to pay taxes for a Country that I do not live in so please let me know if I am being scammed on this or if they are right, and what documents should I ask for so when I file my taxes on this in the US next year so I can prove I have already paid taxes on this so I do not have to pay taxes again in the US or at least pay a lesser amount on it since I will have already paid the Hong Kong Govt, this tax.
