Hello,

 

If the US corp has two foreign shareholders and one shareholder sells his/her shares to the other shareholder and there is a gain/loss, no tax is payable in the US by the foreign shareholder.

 

The US does not tax foreign shareholders capital gains of US securities. It does however require withholding on dividends and certain interest payments to non U.S. persons.

 

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
