Señores depositantes,
Regarding the Documentation and Accounts Structure Protocol informed in circular 359, Depósito Central de Valores reiterates the need for all depositors, clients of the cross-border custody service that keep assets whose market of origin is the United States, to send to DCV the W8 forms that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States has provided for this purpose, either as holdings beneficiaries or as intermediaries of their clients.
- Intermediary depositors that keep custody of third parties must send the W8 IMY form.
- Depositors that keep their custody must send the W8 Ben, W8 Ben-E, W8 ECI, and W8 EXP forms, as appropriate.
- If depositors keep their holdings and those of third parties, they must deliver both W8 forms (IMY – BEN).
The corresponding document must be sent to [email protected]
according to the terms mentioned in the Protocol.
Likewise, we remind you that this documentation requirement is mandatory; therefore, non-compliance implies the review of the granting of the service in that market by DCV.
The deadline to send this form is May 31, 2024
Kind regards,
DEPÓSITO CENTRAL DE VALORES S.A.,
