To do this, create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/create-account-statement\/\">Annual deposit statement<\/a> in the account management. This contains all transactions, profits and losses, fees, dividends and much more. The annual custody account statement therefore includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/contents-of-the-account-statement\/\">All tax-relevant data<\/a>that you may need for your tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opening a securities account within the EU:<\/strong> As your securities account is held with Interactive Brokers Ltd. in Ireland, it is not subject to German tax law.

This means that investment income in the form of a withholding tax is subject to a tax deduction of 25%. In addition, a solidarity surcharge of 5.5% is levied on the amount of withholding tax. Capital gains are therefore taxed at a flat rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While other German online brokers pay the withholding tax for each individual trade directly to the German tax authorities, CapTrader offers you the advantage of not having to settle and pay the withholding tax yourself until December 31 of each year. You can assess your profits and losses yourself as part of your income tax return at the end of the year. Taxation is carried out at a flat rate and not at the higher income tax rate. <strong>This means that your accumulated trading profits are fully available for reinvestment throughout the year, which provides additional leverage for your custody account.<\/strong> This is possible because the securities account is managed via CapTrader with our cooperation partner Interactive Brokers (IB) abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bordered-paragraph\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tax of 26.375% is withheld on dividend payments from German stock corporations. This rate is made up of a capital gains tax of 25% and a solidarity surcharge of 5.5% on the capital gains tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the source state has withheld more than the tax rate stipulated in the relevant double taxation agreement, the difference can be reclaimed from the competent tax office in that state.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of dividend payments, the respective clearing houses are obliged to pay the tax directly to the relevant tax office. Therefore, you will not be paid the full dividend amount, as the tax due will be withheld immediately. This allows you to see immediately what amount you have left and you can see this directly in your custody account statement. You can state on your tax return that the dividend payments have already been taxed, with your custody account statement serving as valid proof. In addition, you can apply for withholding tax certificates for withheld capital gains tax on corporate actions or fund distributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading anchor-target\" id=\"quellensteuerbescheinigung\">Apply for a withholding tax certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capital gains tax on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/glossary\/taxation-of-dividends\/\" data-type=\"glossar\" data-id=\"45260\">Dividend payments<\/a> are paid directly by the clearing houses.
