  6. Get dividends and interest payments in the investment account. According to the Law, the taxable income from the investment account can be updated if the PIT has been already collected from the income derived or if income is not subject to the PIT.
  7. Make withdrawals from the investment account by transferring money from the investment account to your current account. You become liable for the personal income tax as soon as the total amount paid out exceeds the total amount paid in. Fees for account maintenance or transactions are not treated as amounts paid out from the investment account. Income must be declared and the personal income tax must be paid for the earned income at the beginning of the next year as part of the annual tax return only in cases when the amount paid out from the investment account exceeds the amount paid in. The income tax must be calculated and paid for this excess. Declaration timeframe (depending on the size of total annual income): 1 March - 1 June/ 1 April - 1 July.

  5. When selling, take into account that after each securities sale transaction that results in profit, you need to declare the income and estimate the tax. Returns must be filed depending on the size of the income earned: for income earned during the quarter (by 15th date of the next month after the quarter during which the income has been earned) or for the income earned during the whole year (by 15 January of the following year). A special form (DK) must be used for income declaration. In the next year, you can file the summary declaration for the previous calendar year and include loss from sale of other securities during the previous calendar year to reduce your personal income tax liability or get a refund of the income tax already paid.
  6. Prepare the necessary information for the tax return on income from capital gain using the securities account statement.

Important! The investment account is subject to the current account and securities account price list.
