📌 The US House just passed a new bill called *The One Big, Beautiful Bill* (H.R. 1).
It includes a new provision: a *3.5% tax* on money transfers abroad by non-US citizens.
But what does this mean for Indians investing in US stocks? 👇
First: *No, this does not affect* Indian residents investing in US stocks from India.
This 3.5% tax targets remittances (sending money to family/friends) and *not investment withdrawals*.
👉 *What is “The One Big, Beautiful Bill”?*
It’s a sweeping 1,100+ page tax reform package reflecting Donald Trump’s economic vision.
This includes tax cuts, spending shifts, and this new tax on outward remittances by non-citizens.
👉 *The new rule*
A *3.5% tax* will be collected by banks/remittance services when non-US citizens send money abroad.
Even *H-1B visa holders* and green card holders are included.
US citizens/nationals are *exempt* (if verified via official channels).

✅ This is considered investment repatriation
❌ Not subject to the 3.5% excise tax
*What’s next?*
The bill has passed the US House, but it’s not law yet. It must still go to the Senate, and then be signed by the President.
*Only then will it come into effect*
