We may charge a $50 fee on accounts which have not supplied a mandatory W-8BEN or W-9 form prior to the dividend ex-date of a qualifying trade on a US-incorporated share CFDs. We do not apply this fee to accounts with up-to-date documentation or accounts which have not entered into qualifying trades. We will notify you if you have entered into a qualifying trade and need to complete a form.
