    From the perspective of the Internal Revenue Service, if you sell your foreign stock at a gain, you will have to pay tax in the same manner as if you had taken a profit on an American stock.

     

    If you hold your stock for less than a year before selling it, your profit will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rates. If you hold your stock for a year or more before you sell it, such gains will be able to qualify for a lower capital gains rate.
