What Canadian investors need to know about the Trump tax bill
If the first six months are any indication, the reign of U.S. President Donald Trump is going to be a rough one for Canadian investors. First, the stock market plunged earlier this spring as Mr. Trump's tariffs started a global trade war. Stocks have mostly recovered, but a new threat has emerged in the form of legislation that would allow Washington to ramp up the taxation of Canadians holding U.S. stocks. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is not yet law – it passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a single vote but must still pass in the Senate – and may change in scope. For now, it has the potential to more than double the tax applied to dividends from U.S. companies received by Canadian investors and corporations. The ultimate effect of the tax changes could be costly in total but perhaps not so bad on an individual basis. Regardless, it's too early to make changes in your investment portfolio. 'Currently, we're not making any moves, and I'm recommending everyone do the same thing and just wait to see what the information actually is,' said Justin Bender, a portfolio manager at PWL Capital. 'Then we can assess and see if there's any changes necessary.' Wealth managers brace for proposed U.S. tax bill's impacts on Canadian clients What's in Trump's big budget bill? From cuts to taxes and Medicaid, here's what to know Ultimately, Section 899 of the legislation could introduce a withholding tax of 20 to 50 per cent of dividends received by Canadians. There are estimates that this extra tax could cost individual investors, pension funds and others billions of dollars. The point of Section 899 is to give the U.S. a weapon to punish what it considers to be unfair taxes in other countries. Thought to be a target is our digital services tax, which mainly applies to U.S. tech giants generating revenue in Canada. Estimates from Mr. Bender show a worst-case additional drag on returns of 0.46 percentage points from U.S. stocks and U.S. equity exchange-traded funds when the higher withholding tax is fully phased in over four years. Think of this cost as being in addition to the management expense ratio of an ETF or mutual fund. If your return from a U.S. equity fund was a net 10 per cent with the management expense ratio (MER) included, then a higher withholding tax could ultimately leave you with as little as 9.54 per cent. Note that fund returns are always published on a net basis, with the MER included and, where applicable, foreign withholding taxes already deducted. Under existing U.S. tax law, there is a base withholding tax rate of 30 per cent for foreign investors holding U.S. stocks. A Canada-U.S. tax treaty generally reduces this rate to 15 per cent. No withholding tax applies to U.S. dividends paid into registered retirement savings plans and registered retirement income funds by U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs. There's no clear sense of whether this exemption would continue to apply under Section 899. In a non-registered account, you can offset the 15-per-cent withholding tax by claiming an offsetting foreign tax credit. In a TFSA, registered education savings plan, first home savings account or registered disability savings plan, the withholding tax cannot be recovered; it is also non-recoverable in RRSPs and RRIFs if you hold a Canadian-listed U.S. equity ETF. Canadian investors have a massive level of exposure to U.S. stocks directly and through funds. About $60-billion is invested in just four TSX-listed ETFs that track the S&P 500 index. But investing in the S&P 500, and the even more tech-focused Nasdaq, is much more about growth than dividend income. The dividend yield on the S&P 500 right now is about 1.3 per cent, half the level of the yield on Canada's S&P/TSX composite index. 'It's very low, which is why this tax maybe isn't as much of an issue as people are making it out to be,' Mr. Bender said. 'Some extra withholding taxes are probably not going to blow up your financial plan.' Mr. Bender added that the impact is further diminished by the fact that most investors have diversified their U.S. exposure with bonds and Canadian stocks, plus international markets in many cases. Investors who use ETFs for exposure to U.S. stocks can buy funds listed on U.S. exchanges as well as those located in Canada. Among Canadian-listed funds, there are those that hold U.S. stocks directly and those that are effectively a wrapper for a U.S.-listed fund in the same corporate family. Mr. Bender said each of these three ETF types would be affected similarly by higher U.S. withholding taxes. Are you a young Canadian with money on your mind?

U.S. stocks drift higher as trade talks start with China in hopes of avoiding a recession
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are drifting higher on Monday as the world's two largest economies begin talks on trade that could help avoid a recession. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% in afternoon trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was rose 100 points, or 0.2%, as of 2:05 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.4% higher. Officials from the United States and China are meeting in London to talk about a range of different disputes that are separating them. The hope is that they can eventually reach a deal that will lower each's punishing level of tariffs against the other, which are currently on pause, so that the flow of everything from tiny tech gadgets to enormous machinery can continue. Hopes that President Donald Trump will lower his tariffs after reaching such trade deals with countries around the world have been among the main reasons the S&P 500 has rallied so furiously since dropping roughly 20% from its record two months ago. It's back within 2.1% of its all-time high, which was set in February, and it's higher than it was before Trump shocked financial markets with his wide-ranging tariff announcement on what he called 'Liberation Day.' This may be the shortest sell-off following a shock of heightened volatility on record, according Parag Thatte, Binky Chadha and other strategists at Deutsche Bank. Typically, stocks take around two months to bottom following a spike in volatility and then another four to five months to recover their losses. This time around, stocks have basically made a round trip in less than two months. But nothing is assured, of course, and that helped keep trading relatively quiet on Wall Street Monday. Warner Bros. Discovery fell 1.7% after saying it would split into two companies. One will get Warner Bros. Television, HBO Max and other studio brands, while the other will hold onto CNN, TNT Sports and other entertainment, sports and news television brands around the world, along with some digital products. IonQ rose 3.5% after the quantum computing and networking company said it agreed to buy Oxford Ionics for nearly $1.08 billion. All but $10 million of the purchase price will come from IonQ's stock, and the hope is that the combined company will benefit from its complementary parts to produce computers that can perform better than classical machines. Tesla, meanwhile, drifted following some sharp swings. The electric vehicle company tumbled last week as Elon Musk's relationship with Trump broke apart, and it rose 1.2% Monday. The frayed relationship could also end up damaging Musk's other companies that get contracts from the U.S. government, such as SpaceX. Rocket Lab, a space company that could pick up business at SpaceX's expense, rose 5.3%. In stock markets abroad, indexes were modestly lower in Europe after rising across much of Asia. Chinese markets climbed even though the government reported that exports slowed in May, growing 4.8% from a year earlier after jumping more than 8% in April. China also reported that consumer prices fell 0.1% in May from a year earlier, marking the fourth consecutive month of deflation. Stocks rallied 1.6% in Hong Kong and rose 0.4% in Shanghai. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.47% from 4.51% late Friday. It fell after a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that consumers' expectations for coming inflation eased a bit in May. That provides some relief for the Fed, which has been keeping its main interest rate steady as it waits to see how much Trump's tariffs will raise inflation and how much they will hurt the economy. Economists expect a report coming on Wednesday to show inflation across the country accelerated last month to 2.5% from 2.3%. ___ AP writer Jiang Junzhe contributed. By Stan Choe

Mastercard's Global Transactions Roaring: Can It Sustain the Growth?
Mastercard Incorporated MA is surfing a wave of strong global momentum, driven by accelerating transaction volumes and robust consumer spending. The rise in cross-border transaction volumes is proving to be a significant growth driver for the company. In the first quarter of 2025, it reported a 15% year-over-year increase in its cross-border volumes on a local currency basis, reflecting robust growth in international activity. MA's total international transactions rose 9% year over year in the first quarter of 2025, followed by 15% year-over-year growth in 2023 and 12.2% year-over-year increase in 2024. The company's payment network's net revenues increased 14% year over year in first-quarter 2025, which includes 12% growth in payment network rebates and incentives. Growth in Payment network rebates and incentives was primarily driven by an increase in key drivers and new and renewed deals. We expect the trend to continue and payment network net revenues to witness a nearly 13% year-over-year jump in 2025. One of the primary drivers of growth is Mastercard's strategic emphasis on digital payments and fintech collaborations. Its collaboration with Corpay will provide an enhanced suite of corporate cross-border payment solutions. MA is working on acquiring FinTech Newway to enable the option to settle payments in stablecoins for their merchants. The company's consumer payment technologies allow it to capture the significant secular opportunity and expand into new markets. However, keeping up this momentum is going to be a challenge due to rising operating costs. How Are Competitors Faring? Some of MA's competitors in the payments solutions space are Visa Inc. V and American Express Company AXP. Visa reported a 13% year-over-year increase in cross-border volumes in the first quarter of 2025. Over the first half of fiscal 2025, Visa witnessed 14.2% growth in payment volumes. The company estimates net revenues to witness high single-digit to low double-digit growth on an adjusted nominal-dollar basis in fiscal 2025. American Express reported 13% year-over-year growth in international card services billed business, though its premium customer base shows strong spending resilience in first-quarter 2025. The Global Merchant and Network Services segment's pre-tax net income fell 3% year over year in the quarter. American Express anticipates revenues to increase between 8% and 10% in 2025.
