Withholding Tax Indicators: 'W' - dividend paid to a resident of a country where a double tax agreement is in force. 'X' - dividend paid to a resident of any other country. 'Y' - interest paid to all non-residents.

Where applicable, the amount of withholding tax is to appear in character positions 113-120. Note: Accounts of non-residents. Where withholding tax has been deducted, the appropriate Indicator as shown above, is to be used and will override the normal Indicator."
