That way you can recoup the taxes paid as a credit on your tax return. Otherwise, you will lose that money if you pay foreign taxes in a tax deferred account.
Depending on the country the company is domiciled in. I believe some don't withhold taxes on dividends if the stock is held in a tax-advantaged account.
