Questions about IBKR taxes

Hello! I’m from Portugal and I opened an account IBKR, but then I noticed that this company is based in the United Kingdom (UK). Can anyone tell me if I have more expenses when using IBKR because it is based in a country outside the European Community? In terms of taxes and fees, do I pay the same as when using XTB, for example? I don't know if this makes sense, but given the doubts I ended up never using it! By the way, I filled out the W-8BEN form through XTB. If I start investing through IBKR, do I need to fill out this form again or will the first time I filled it out be enough? Thank you in advance for your help! submitted by /u/Lord3_finances [link] [comments]
