Withholding Tax

Crediting foreign withholding tax against German tax

Receiving dividends from US stocks or other foreign companies? Withholding tax is deducted abroad. The good news: you can reclaim part of it through your tax return.

How Crediting Works

Withholding tax paid abroad can be credited against German tax according to double taxation agreements (DTA) – up to the DTA rate (e.g., 15% for US dividends).
