Germany: German Tax Authorities (BZSt) issues further information impacting tax vouchers
The German Tax Authorities (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, BZSt) have published updated technical guidelines on the specifications for the Notification Procedure for Withholding Tax on Dividends from Shares and Depositary Receipts (MiKaDiv).
These updates align the MiKaDiv specifications with the recently revised Circular governing the issuance of tax vouchers and the transmission of data pursuant to §§ 45b and 45c of the German Income Tax Act (EStG).
LuxCSD is currently analysing the updated documentation to determine the potential impact on our clients and our service offering.
The updated guidelines and the link to the BZStwebsite are attached below.
