Dividend payment and Austrian withholding tax – Tax information (for convenience only)
Shareholders, who are resident outside Austria in a country which has concluded a Double Tax Treaty with Austria, might be entitled to reclaim part of the Austrian withholding tax of 27.5%, which AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG withholds for dividend payments.
The refund procedure in Austria is essentially as follows:
1. A webform has to be filled in and filed electronically (“advance notification”).
2. The submitted advance notification including the filing confirmation (including the transaction number) has to be printed out and signed by the foreign shareholder (applicant).
3. In addition, a tax residence confirmation has to be obtained by the applicant. The confirmation has to be provided on the printed advance notification.
4. Once the confirmation of residence has been obtained, the printed advance notification (together with any other documents, e.g. proof, that WHT has been withheld) has to be sent exclusively by post to the competent tax office “Finanzamt Österreich, Dienststelle Bruck-Eisenstadt-Oberwart”.
5. When applying for a refund of Austrian WHT for the first time, each applicant receives an identification number (“ABZ number”), which must also be quoted in all future refund procedures.
An advance notification is only permitted after the end of the calendar year in which the WHT was withheld. According to Sec 240 para 3 Austrian Federal Fiscal Code the application for refund can be submitted until the end of the fifth calendar year following the year of the withholding. A shorter period may apply based on the respective DTT. A detailed description of the reclaim procedure is available here. The Company assumes no liability or responsibility for the accuracy or feasibility of this process.
