Sweden and the United States have signed a protocol amending the 1994 tax treaty between the countries. The amendments entail the elimination of the withholding tax on dividends payments from a subsidiary in one state to a parent company in the other state. Pension funds will also be exempted from withholding taxes on dividends from the other country. The protocol will enter into force during the spring of 2006 at the earliest. You can access the protocol from the Swedish site for the Ministry of Finance.
