CapTrader
CapTrader and German taxes
CapTrader has been an active introducing broker since 2011, based in Düsseldorf, Germany. It provides access to over 1.2 million securities on over 170 exchanges through the Interactive Brokers platform. The parent company (asset management) was founded in 1997; since 2019 CapTrader operates as an independent GmbH. CapTrader is registered as an Interactive Brokers introducing broker with BaFin.
As with all IBKR-based brokers: CapTrader does not withhold German capital gains tax and does not provide an annual tax certificate according to German law. German investors must calculate their own capital gains and report them in their tax return.
BubbleTax is compatible with CapTrader data
Since CapTrader uses the Interactive Brokers infrastructure, you export the same FlexQuery XML file as direct IBKR customers. BubbleTax processes this data automatically and creates a complete tax report.
How it works
- Export FlexQuery – Create an account statement in your CapTrader/IBKR account (XML format)
- Upload to BubbleTax – Upload the XML file
- Get your report – Download your PDF tax report for your German tax return
See for yourself before you pay.
