Examples of Eligible Investors in a sentence
Holding the Bonds through the Clearing System enables Eligible Investors to receive gross interest income on their Bonds and to transfer the Bonds on a gross basis.
Bondholders who are non-residents of Belgium for Belgian tax purposes, who are not holding the Bonds through a permanent establishment in Belgium and who are not investing in the Bonds in the course of their Belgian professional activity, will normally not incur or become liable for any Belgian tax on income or capital gains by reason only of the acquisition, ownership, redemption or disposal of the Bonds, provided that they qualify as Eligible Investors and that they hold their Bonds in an X- account.
The holding of the Convertible Bonds in the NBB securities settlement system permits most types of investors (the "Eligible Investors", see below) to collect interest on their Convertible Bonds free of Belgian withholding tax, and to trade their Convertible Bonds on a gross basis.
However, payments of interest and principal under the Bonds by or on behalf of the Issuer may be made without deduction of Belgian withholding tax if and as long as, at the moment of payment or attribution of interest, the Bonds are held by certain investors (the Eligible Investors, see below) in an exempt securities account (an X-account) that has been opened with a financial institution that is a direct or indirect participant (a Participant) in the Clearing System.
There are no ongoing certification requirements although Eligible Investors must update their statement should their eligible status change.
