How First Busey Corp is taxed for Canadian investors
For a Canadian holding a US-listed stock like BUSE, two taxes matter. Capital gains on a sale are 50% taxable in Canada (see capital gains tax). Dividends paid by a US company face a 15% US withholding tax under the Canada–US tax treaty (with a valid W-8BEN on file). Prices here are quoted in USD, so currency movements between the USD and the Canadian dollar also affect your real return.
Can you hold First Busey Corp in a TFSA or RRSP?
Yes — US-listed stocks are qualified investments for both. But the accounts are not equal for US dividends: inside an RRSP, US dividend withholding tax is waived under the treaty, while inside a TFSA the 15% withholding still applies and can't be recovered. For US dividend-payers, the RRSP is usually the more tax-efficient home.
