Global investment portfolio analysis
Combining automated investment income analysis with a dynamic withholding tax rate database, Protocol instantly analyzes any global investment portfolio for custody withholding tax service gaps and incremental reclaim opportunities. Service gaps are differences between tax rates expected to be applied based on the withholding tax service agreement with the custodian and tax rates actually applied by the custodian.
