The deadlines shown above are valid provided that the customer's instructions are complete, accurate and eligible for straight-through processing (STP) in CBL and in the local market. Customers must also ensure that any necessary provision is available. If any of these criteria are not met, CBL cannot guarantee timely settlement.
These Czech Republic CSD eligible ETFs and open ended investment funds will be made available for order routing in Vestima progressively over time. For information on availability, customers can refer to the supported funds list that is updated monthly or subscribe to the daily published funds list.
The withholding tax procedure applicable to ETFs/CSD eligible open-ended funds is the same as the procedure for equities published in the Market Taxation Guide – Czech Republic.
