From the supplier: US shareholders of companies considered passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) can be subject to harsh tax effects on the dividends they receive, but may be able to mitigate the effects through a deemed sale and the election of qualified electing fund treatment. PFICs have certain percentages of income derived from passive activity and are distinguished from controlled foreign investments. PFIC income is taxed on distribution, and excess distribution can result in interest charges deemed to have started many years before dividends were distributed. PFICs are also denied the benefits of tax-free exchanges and capital gains treatment.
