Investments are conveniently kept apart from your everyday transactions.
After each securities sales transaction resulting in profit, you need to perform the personal income tax calculation.
The personal income tax is payable from the profit only when the amount withdrawn from the account exceeds the amount invested.
The declaration of income is convenient and simple using the investment account statement which can easily be prepared via Internet Banking.
Preparing information and calculating the personal income tax for the declaration is more complicated as it involves manual calculations using the securities account and cash account statement.
Securities can be transferred to and received from third parties or family members.
Transfers of securities can only be made to your own account of the same status with another bank.

Instructions
  1. Open an investment account via Internet Banking.
  2. Opening an investment account will entail automatic opening of a new securities account that will be linked to the investment account.
  3. Add funds to your investment account.
  4. Make investments. Invest in stocks, bonds, investment funds or other financial instruments. Permitted instruments and transaction types are described in the Law and the Terms of Investment Account.
  5. Manage your investments: add money to the investment account at any time, buy and sell securities, perform fund switch transactions, derivative financial instrument transactions and other permitted transactions.
  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.
  8. Prepare the investment account statement on an annual basis to determine your potential tax liability for income from the investment account.
  1. Open a securities account via Internet Banking.
  2. Securities account is linked to an existing current account of your choice.
  3. Make investments from your available funds into the current account linked to the securities account.
  4. Get dividends and interest payments in the current account linked to the securities account.
  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.
