MiKaDiv
Implement BZSt reporting requirements
MiKaDiv as amendment to the AbZstEntModG
Who is affected by the new procedure?
With the new reporting procedure, custodian banks and other domestic paying agents must report to the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern (BZSt) which capital income has been paid to investors in Germany and abroad. Domestic listed companies must also inform the BZSt about their shareholders. The BZSt collects this data and uses it as part of refund and credit procedures.
Supplementary data
- Report General Data
- Customer data (e.g. account/custody account number, information on trustee)
- Chain of custody (e.g. LEI, legal status)
- Securities information (e.g. capital income, number of securities)
- Depository receipts (e.g. ISIN of deposited securities, subscription ratio)
Reporting requirements
- Resident taxpayers: digital reporting of additional data and on the tax certificate
- Non-resident taxpayers: digital reporting instead of tax certificate
- Notification of not issued tax certificate or not carried out notifications
- Exemption report (report of not or not completely collected tax deduction)
Aktuelle Entwicklungen
Als erstes und bislang einziges OECD-Land hat Finnland die TRACE-Richtlinien in sein geltendes Recht integriert. Dabei schafft Finnland jedoch keine verbindliche Teilnahme für Finanzintermediäre und Anleger, sondern behält zwei bestehende Verfahren bei: das nachgelagerte Erstattungsverfahren (Standard Refund) sowie die finnische Tax at Source Card.
Implementation of MiKaDiv requirements
We are implementation partners for our clients
We have been dealing with the new procedure for a while and set up an Expert Group on AbzStEntModG/MiKaDiv to maintain a constant exchange with our clients’ experts.
We have established a separate Expert Group for the new digital interface at the BZSt and the associated tax reclaim process. In addition, our participation in the MiKaDiv User Group and the User Group Mass Data Interface for Capital Gains Tax Refund at the BZSt in Berlin gives us direct access to the implementing authority.
Based on discussions with various financial institutions, the development of software components in RAQUEST is already in progress.
With our STTI interface, we have created the base for digital data transmission to various tax authorities (such as for the markets in Denmark, Switzerland, and even Austria). This will now be expanded to include the gateway to the BZSt.
Functionally, we will address the digital application for tax reclaims at the BZSt, new data deliveries, and new depository functions.
