Taxbox

In Germany, private investors are liable to a flat tax on investment income. Statutory provisions require that in the event of a securities account transfer, the domestic custodian banks provide the institution receiving the accounts with the tax-related acquisition details and, where applicable, the originator’s allocation pots. The custodian banks are therefore also responsible for keeping, maintaining, and processing data relevant to the German flat tax on investment income.

Taxbox is the solution we developed for the automatic transfer of tax-related data in the event of a securities transfer.
