Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Message Board

Double your "divies" should be ok. As long as you owned the company for 60 days before the dividend is paid out, they are "qualified" dividends for tax purposes.

Any share that you bought in Dec/Nov of 2011 would have gotten your "qualified" dividends for tax purposes.

Who knows if they will have special rates in 2013.

Sentiment: Strong Buy

Middle of the year I had sold most of my XIN, so it turns out to be short term capital gains. I purchased back more back in June and August, so I have a while until those shares are long term.

I do have 2k shares that will be long term November 18th, so I will be selling and probably buying back, to have the long term capital gains on my tax return just in case they are at higher rates after the first of the year.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
