Hello,
Im a company director with a self administered pension. I want to trade in US shares. Has anyone experience in filing with US tax authorities to minimise withholding tax on dividends and capital gains? Have heard I need to fill out W8BEN form. Tnx
 
As a non US resident/tax subject you need to file a W-8BEN to avoid/be exempted from certain witholding taxes on regular share investments. Presume the same applies to pension investments. Not sure if there are any other tax issues. You should probably get professional advice.
