(2024): Investmentfonds ohne inländischen Steuerabzug


Was ist die Vorabpauschale?

Die sogenannte Vorabpauschale soll sicherstellen, dass eine bestimmte Mindestbesteuerung auf Anlegerebene stattfindet - auch in Fällen, in denen ein Fonds keine oder eine zu geringe Ausschüttung vornimmt. Die Höhe der Vorabpauschale bezieht sich immer auf das Vorjahr. Wenn die Anteile tatsächlich veräußert werden, werden die bis dahin versteuerten Vorabpauschalen vom Ergebnis des Veräußerungserlöses abgezogen (Veräußerungserlös minus Anschaffungsdaten minus Vorabpauschale).

Das bedeutet, dass sich ein Veräußerungsgewinn mindert (und damit auch die Steuerlast). Bei einem Veräußerungsverlust erhöht die bereits berechnete Vorabpauschale Ihren Veräußerungsverlust. Eine doppelte Besteuerung ist also ausgeschlossen.

Die Vorabpauschale wird erstmals Anfang 2019 erhoben und auch besteuert - für das Steuerjahr 2018 spielt sie steuerlich noch keine Rolle.

Was ist die Teilfreistellung?

Bei Publikums-Investmentfonds erfolgt für bestimmte inländische Erträge eine zusätzliche Belastung durch die Körperschaftsteuer auf Fondsebene. Um diese Vorbelastung auf Fondsebene auszugleichen, werden Ausschüttungen des Fonds, die Vorabpauschale sowie Veräußerungsgewinne aus dem Verkauf von Fondsanteilen steuerlich teilweise freigestellt? Daher spricht man von einer "Teilfreistellung".

Die Höhe des fondsspezifischen Teilfreistellungssatzes richtet sich nach der Art des Fonds (Stand Oktober 2018):

  • 30 % bei Aktienfonds (laut Anlagebedingungen fortlaufend mind. 51 % Aktienanteil)
  • 15 % bei Mischfonds (laut Anlagebedingungen fortlaufend mind. 25 % Aktienanteil)
  • 60 % bei Immobilienfonds (laut Anlagebedingungen fortlaufend mind. 51 % in Immobilien oder Immobiliengesellschaften)
  • 80 % bei Immobilienfonds mit Auslandschwerpunkt (laut Anlagebedingungen fortlaufend mind. 51 % in ausländische Immobilien oder Auslands-Immobiliengesellschaften)

Die Zuordnung eines Fonds zu einer Fondskategorie erfolgt auf Basis der Anlagepolitik durch die Fondsgesellschaft (Kapitalanlagegesellschaft). Diese teilt die Qualifizierung des Fonds (z.B. Aktien- oder Mischfonds) mit.

(2019): Was ist die Teilfreistellung?


Welche Fonds sind von der Vorabpauschale betroffen?

Grundsätzlich können alle inländischen und ausländischen Investmentfonds (dazu zählen auch ETFs) von der Vorabpauschale betroffen sein.

Bei ausschüttenden Fonds wird eine eventuell vorgenommene Ausschüttung bei der Berechnung der Vorabpauschale berücksichtigt. Bei einer entsprechend hohen Ausschüttung führt dieses dazu, dass keine Vorabpauschale anfällt. Es ist also davon auszugehen, dass in der Hauptsache thesaurierende Fonds durch die Vorabpauschale betroffen sind.

Wird die Abgeltungsteuer auf die Vorabpauschale bei einem späteren Verkauf angerechnet?

Ja, bei einer späteren Veräußerung der Fondsanteile werden alle schon besteuerten Vorabpauschalen des Fonds anteilsbezogen vom Veräußerungserlös abgezogen.

So soll eine Doppelbesteuerung vermieden werden.
