I just spent 3 months researching investment taxes in every single European country. In this video I’m going to share a 5 step tax optimization process that will help you reduce and simplify your investing taxes - no matter where you live in Europe.
Here’s the free webinar I mentioned (in our training programs we solve investing taxes for Europeans and much more):

And here’s the PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries database which I mentioned:

Great teaser! It builds momentum to "So what is it then? Show me the secret!". If it helps, France gives every legal resident the right to open a PEA Account (Plan Epargne en Action) which allows you to invest in a pletorah of ETFs (Mostly European but with an ample mix of synthetic ETFs that replicate US markets), the PEA is TAX FREE if you withhold your investment for the first 5 years and has a deposits ceiling of 150K EUR.

Do you have any insights on the tax implications of ETFs marked as UCITS? As best as I can understand it, taxes from UCITS funds based on another EU country are supposed to be treated the same as from a locally based UCITS fund. For example, capital gains from a greek-based UCITS fund are tax free in Greece. For greek citizens any capital gains from a UCITS-fund based on another eu country are supposed to be tax-free too. Do you have any info if this principle of "same treatment" of local vs other eu-country UCITS is used in other EU countries too? Does a UCITS mark carry any specific tax-implication for eu countries?

Great job...I hate that most of investing videos are originated in US and so much less information coming from Europe. Question - I do some trading in Etoro. Should I also pay tax each year, even if I don't remove any funds from my account there? Is there any way how this income is tracked.

So i didnt understand, in Switzerland you have to pay taxes on capital gains or not? iam confused, because at the begining of the video you sayd no, at the end you sayd we have to pay taxes on capital gains of an accumulating ETF.

I'm interested in real estate investments. Robert Kiyosaki says he doesnt pay taxes on his profits. After a bit of research I found out the main tool he uses in the US is property depreciation. 3.6% per year can be deducted and that offsets his income. Is there an EU country that would let me do that?

Hi Tom, Nice video. I have a question though. Are you aware of UCITS ETFS? I think they are tax free if you are in a citizen of EU member country

@thetomcrosshill Жыл бұрын

UCITS ETFs are pretty much the only ETFs available to European investors, and in most European countries they are not tax free at all! From what I know, such a tax exemption applies in Greece. There are also a few other countries where it's possibly to invest essentially tax free, but that's not the case across most of Europe.

Hey Tom, I got a question and was hoping you could help me. I live in the Netherlands but over here i think above a certain amount of assets (around 56.000 as an individual) you have to pas taxes over your assets even if they are in stocks/etf's or bonds (this also counts as your assets). So this means you cant pay taxes later (when you get your money out of your broker), but you pay it every year. Do you know if this is true? or am i completely wrong and do i not have to pay untill i get my money out of my broker? Thanks in Advance.

@RobbieE33 7 ай бұрын

Its the wealth tax he's talking about. The first 57K of your combined savings and investments are exempt from taxes in the Netherlands. After that you pay like 34% (probably not the exact number) on your return on capital. This return on capital is not calculated on factual return but fictional. They calculate with 4% or 6%. I dont know the exact number. But there's a discussion right now on how to assess the return on investments and savings. They want to tax factual return instead of the fictional rates they use now. Problem is that its very hard to automate the calculations for factual/ concrete return on investments.

What about the trading tho? If i am from EU the tax is when i pull out of the broker or it have to be on each trade?

@thetomcrosshill 10 ай бұрын

That differs from country to country! The most common solution is that you are taxed on each trade which generates a profit, but there are different rules in some countries.

Hi Tom, great video. When you invest in an accumulating Etf for 20 years and then at the end of 20 years you withdraw the whole investment (which has grown significantly) what type of tax is charged at that time and how to avoid it ? Resident of Netherlands by the way

While I can't give you individual tax advice, generally that Irish taxation applies to Irish residents (who often prefer to invest through pension wrappers because of this).

If you buy an ETF periodically let's say you dedicate an amount per month to investing. How do you track your gains since the value will vary each time you buy. How can you track the gain for tax purposes

@hamzabouchoucha4303 11 ай бұрын

the brokers application shows u the gains

@thetomcrosshill 11 ай бұрын

It's a good question and it can get a bit tricky - the exact way you track it depends from country to country depending on the accounting approach used (FIFO, LIFO, weighted average). We discuss this in our training program. Usually it boils down to having a good spreadsheet and doing some math or paying a good accountant (or in some countries your broker takes care of the calculations for you).

Thank you Tom! Great video! I am considering checking your programs now! 1 quick question though: I live in Denmark and I bought accumulative ETF while I was resident there. Now I am moving to a Italy where capital gain tax is way lower. Are there any exit tax in Denmark? Will I only pay tax in the country where I will sell the ETFs?

@thetomcrosshill 11 ай бұрын

Hi Gabriele! I can't really give individual tax advice. In our training program we give people the skills to understand taxes on their own + briefings on key tax factors in countries across Europe. As to analyzing a situation where you move between countries, we teach people how to do that analysis, but it's a bit of a process and in more complex cases you may need to consult a tax advisor in one or both countries. It's not really suited for a KZfaq comment. You have to consider the tax rules in country A and in country B. Depending on that, you then decide how best to proceed with existing investments. The answer to your question about where you will pay tax depends on the combination of countries - in some cases if you are not careful there is actually a risk of having to pay tax in both countries, but usually that is not the case. And if that risk does exist, there are ways to solve the problem.

@thetomcrosshill 10 ай бұрын

While I can't provide Irish tax advice, in general ETF taxes are fairly high in Ireland (that said, ETFs have so many advantages that many investors still prefer them to other investors). One interesting opportunity in Ireland is to buy ETFs as part of self directed pension accounts which have a much better tax treatment!
