We finance our services on depotkonto.de through affiliate programs with various providers of securities accounts.
If you apply for a securities account via our site, your application is approved, and you start using the account, we receive a commission from some providers.
However, the providers of custody accounts have no influence on our product reviews and recommendations, either through commissions or otherwise. Such commissions also do not increase the price you pay for an offer—they are borne entirely by the service provider.
The custody accounts we present are chosen solely based on their quality and performance profiles, ensuring that we offer you the best options available.
Capital gains tax for Germany
The capital tax rate is 25% plus a solidarity surcharge (5.5% of the capital gains tax) and, if applicable, church tax (8 or 9% of the capital income tax) (§ 43a para. 1 no. 1 EStG)
The church tax reduces the capital gains tax as a result of the deductibility of the church tax.
