More information
In accordance with the law, when calculating the 25.5% tax on capital income, expenses related to obtaining this income are not taken into account. We will provide information on the withheld tax in your account statement.
The date of receiving interest income and the payout date is taken as the day when you gain the right to act freely with the income in accordance with your signed agreement or the law. This means that we withhold taxes at the exact moment in which we pay out the income.
For example, if the interest earned in your savings account is paid out on the last day of each month, then we will withhold taxes on the same day.
