Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: (2024) Would you like to enter the details for each fund separately?

Here, you decide whether to record the investment income in detail for each fund or as a total sum.

Individual entry (answer "yes")
Select "yes" if you want to enter the details for each individual investment fund separately. 

You can then for each fund enter purchases and sales, specify the distributions received, calculate the advance lump sum, and correctly record gains and losses from sales.

The required information can be found in the tax certificates or annual statements from your custodian bank or fund provider. All relevant data is listed separately for each fund.

Total entry (answer "no")
Select "no" if you have a consolidated tax statement from your bank or (foreign) credit institution.

This includes the totals for distributions, advance lump sums, gains and losses from sales, as well as the tax deduction amounts already withheld (e.g. capital gains tax, solidarity surcharge, church tax).

Total values are often provided by banks that issue tax certificates or tax reports with overviews for the tax year (e.g. foreign brokers or online banks).

Note:

  • Individual entry is more accurate but requires more information.
  • Total entry is easier if you have complete tax documents from the foreign bank.
