Field help: Do you have a tax statement from your foreign bank? (summary)

Select "yes" if you have a summarised tax statement from your foreign bank or foreign financial institution.

This tax statement usually contains total amounts for:

  • Distributions
  • Advance flat rates
  • Gains and losses from sales
  • tax deductions already withheld (e.g. capital gains tax, solidarity surcharge, church tax)

Tip: A summary is particularly useful if you have received a complete annual statement or a tax report with total values from your bank – e.g. from a foreign broker or online bank.

Typical examples of foreign brokers without German tax deduction are:

  • DEGIRO (Netherlands)
  • Interactive Brokers (USA)
  • Lynx Broker (Netherlands / IBKR)
  • etoro (Cyprus / Israel)
  • Trading 212 (UK / EU)
  • Revolut (UK)
  • Freedom24 (Cyprus)
  • flatex.at (Austria – no German withholding tax)
  • CapTrader (IBKR-based)
  • Banx Broker (IBKR-based)
