Taxation on Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

Hi,

I'm in similar situation. US Citizen, OCI holder living in India now. I have some old RSUs which were granted a few years ago. Part of their vesting happened when I was still a US employee. Now, I moved to Indian subsidiary of the same company. The remaining part of the vesting period is spent in India. How is the taxation calculated in this case. I sell all my RSUs immediately on the day of vesting. Would the income from sale of RSUs be proportionately distributed as US and India income since part of my vesting period was spent in the US?

Hi anumahesh - did you get further resolution to the issue that W-8BEN says its not for US Citizens.
