Germany is Europe's largest economy and offers investors access to world-class industrial, automotive, and technology companies through the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and XETRA platform.
Germany applies a flat 25% Abgeltungsteuer (capital gains tax) plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge, totalling ~26.375%. There is an €801 annual exemption (Sparerpauschbetrag) per person.
The primary tax authority in Germany is the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern (BZSt). Investors should consult official guidance for reporting requirements and deadlines applicable to capital gains and dividend income.
Germany has no specific wash sale rule. Loss offsetting is allowed with some restrictions — losses on shares can only offset gains on shares (not other capital income).
Germany is home to the following major exchanges where stocks, ETFs, and other securities are listed and traded.
