Capital Gains in Tokutei Account

[Tk_working_mom]

Hi there,
very simple question.
For those who own US stocks and receive dividends from them, I know I need to file Kakutei Shinkoku to get a refund of the 10% tax that is withheld by the US govt.

What about capital gain tax upon the sale of stocks? Does the US govt withhold anything that I subsequently need to claim a refund for via Kakutei Shinkoku? My stocks are held at Tokutei Rakuten account so I assume Japanese govt will have collected the 20% tax on the realized gains I made when I sold some stocks.

Thanks in advance!

If you hold the US stock in a foreign accound (e.g. in your Nomura or Rakuten account) the US doesn't withhold anything for capital gains. It only does that for dividends.
