Costs related to corporate actions

If you hold a long position on a share CFD, any dividend income you receive is subject to either a tax or tax equivalent charge.

The rate of tax or tax equivalent that you pay is dependent on the country of domicile of the company whose share CFDs you have purchased. This country information can be found in the instrument specification in the MT5 platform or instrument information section of the mobile application.

If you have purchased a share CFD of a United States domiciled company, then the tax that you pay is determined by your country of tax residence and tax treaty rate between your country and the US. If your country of tax residence does not have a tax treaty with the US, then the default rate as below is applied:

Country Tax rate
Austria 27.50%

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between trading physical shares and share CFDs?

By trading share CFDs, you are speculating on the price of the underlying asset, you are not taking ownership of it. Share CFDs allow you to trade with leverage, whereas the trading of physical shares requires payment of the full cost of those shares. The leverage you get with share CFDs will amplify both profits and losses.
