("Abgeltungsteuer")[edit] Since 2009-01-01 Germany levies a flat rate tax on private income from capital and capital gains called the Abgeltungsteuer. The tax rate is 25% plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge. The tax is levied at German sources as capital yields tax. A tax refund is possible if the personal income tax rate is below 25%. The Abgeltungsteuer replaces the earlier half revenue procedure [de] that had been in effect in Germany since 2001.

Which Trusts Do The Special Income Tax Capital Gains Tax Rules Apply To
The scope of these special rules includes trusts not only for disabled beneficiaries but also for beneficiaries under the age of 18 at least one of whose parents has died. This is why sometimes you will hear these rules known as applying to ‘vulnerable beneficiaries’ as they apply to a broader range of people than just disabled people. Neither income tax nor capital gains tax relief will be available where a beneficiary set the trust up for themselves. Here we will only think about the special rules as they apply to disabled beneficiaries, hence our use of the term ‘trusts for disabled people’ (or disabled trusts) rather than ‘trusts for vulnerable beneficiaries’ – their official name. For more information on trusts for vulnerable beneficiaries, you could look at HMRC’s manual.

Income Tax And Capital Gains Tax Issues
Because a trust is not a person, its income is not taxed like that of an individual or company unless it is a corporate, public or trading trusts as defined in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. In essence the tax treatment of the trust income depends on who is and is not entitled to the income as at midnight on 30 June each year. If all or part of the trust’s net income for tax purposes is paid or belongs to an ordinary beneficiary, it will be taxed in their hands like any other income. If a beneficiary who is entitled to the net income is under a “legal disability” (such as an infant), the income will be taxed to the trustee at the relevant individual rates. Income to which no beneficiary is “presently entitled” will generally be taxed at highest marginal tax rate and for this reason it is important to ensure that the relevant decisions are made as soon as possible after 30 June each year and certainly within 2 months of the end of the year. The two month “period of grace” is particularly relevant for trusts which operate businesses as they will not have finalised their accounts by 30 June. In the case of discretionary trusts, if this is done the overall amount of tax can be minimised by allocating income to beneficiaries who pay a relatively low rate The concept of “present entitlement” involves the idea that the beneficiary could demand immediate payment of their entitlement. It is important to note that a company which is a trustee of a trust is not subject to company tax on the trust income it has responsibility for administering. In relation to capital gains tax (CGT), a trust which holds an asset for at least 12 months is generally eligible for the 50% capital gains tax concession on capital gains that are made. This discount effectively “flows” through to beneficiaries who are individuals. A corporate beneficiary does not get the benefit of the 50% discount. Trusts that are used in a business rather than an investment context may also be entitled to additional tax concessions under the small business CGT concessions. Since the late 1990s discretionary trusts and small unit trusts have been affected by a number of highly technical measures which affect the treatment of franking credits and tax losses. This is an area where specialist tax
