There are a few specifics you need to consider as you read the following answer.Dividends will generally be considered FDAP Income (Fixed, Determinable, Annual Periodic), taxed at a fixed rate for a non-resident.Effectively Connected Income (ECI) will be taxed differently than straight income from investments. Assuming you are just an investor, you probably don’t have ECI, but need to consider the possibility.Capital gains may be FDAP or may not depending on the nature of the underlying assets.Your resident home country may have a tax treaty with the US, which may or may not lower your effective tax rate for US sourced income and gains. If not then 30% is generally the statutory rate.Fixed, Determinable, Annual, Periodical (FDAP) IncomeFixed, Determinable, Annual, or Periodical (FDAP) income is all income, except:Gains derived from the sale of real or personal property (including market discount and option premiums, but not including original issue discount)Items of income excluded from gross income, without regard to the U.S. or foreign status of the owner of the income, such as tax-exempt municipal bond interest and qualified scholarship incomeIncome is fixed when it is paid in amounts known ahead of time. Income is determinable whenever there is a basis for figuring the amount to be paid. Income can be periodic if it is paid from time to time. It does not have to be paid annually or at regular intervals. Income can be determinable or periodic, even if the length of time during which the payments are made is increased or decreased.Tax Treatment of FDAP Income Which is Not Effectively Connected Income (ECI)Tax at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate applies to FDAP income or gains from U.S. sources, but only if they are not effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business.

Couple of things:Avoid afternoon sunshine. It really isn't about Vitamin D.Don't be ‘overcool' with the elderly. People here are not used to metropolitan culture.Avoid getting out after 12 at night. PCR vans are not the most friendly lot.Avoid getting into argument with local political workers. Although Bhubaneswar is relatively peaceful, they can prove to be quite errand.Even if you're an atheist, avoid making insinuating remarks against Lord Jagannath. He's a revered deity here.Inviting your girlfriend over to your place? Well think again.Most of the shops close before 10 PM. Schedule your grocery shopping accordingly.Liquor is readily available (not all the brands though). But planning to openly drink on the terrace or balcony? Poor soul. You'll be kicked out of the society 9 out of 10 times if you're a tenant.Search for Dahi Vada without Alu Dum. It's difficult to find one.On a lighter note, avoid associating Rossogolla to Bengal. It is Odisha's gift to the taste buds (according to local folklore).P.S. These are based on real life experiences. No hard feelings please.Edit 1: My first 100 upvotes. Thanks folks!
