Taxation on dividends, saving accounts & capital gain taxes

Dear All,

I know this subject has been covered on this forum to some extent, but I still wasn't able to find the answer I was looking for. Sorry for posting another thread related to this topic.

My situation: I am moving to Switzerland (living now in Belgium). I was wandering how I will be taxed in following situations:

A) Dividends (My stocks are mostly Belgian Stocks located at a Belgian Broker). When I receive the dividend I need to pay 25% tax on it. After moving to Switzerland? What will change? Will I pay taxes in Switerland? How much? Or will I pay 25% in Belgium and can this be on turn deducted from Switerland tax system? Anyone an idea?

B) Tax on saving accounts = in Belgium 15%. Same question as aboce how will this be taxed?

C) Capital gains on stocks. When selling a stock will the capital gains be taxed in Belgium or Switzerland? Anybody an idea?

kr,

Stef

Hi,

All tax paid on dividends + interest with either be credited or refunded, you are then taxed as income at what ever rate you pay.

There is no capital gains tax on shares, if resident in CH.

Edit you will have to fill in a Tax return for anything to happen, if your on a B permit your taxed at source. It's not very difficult. If you earn over 120k you will do a tax return in any case.
