Yes, in the middle field enter the gross dividends that are subject to Swiss withholding taxes and in the bottom field enter the gross dividends not subject to Swiss withholding taxes (e.g. Irish ETF).
You’ll get a tax credit for 35% of the value entered in the middle field.
you could also create a flex query with the dividends and the number of shares.
You can then execute it for the month you want to retrieve the number of shares.
In my case, I declare each VT purchase and the tax software will compute the accurate dividend amounts.
If you look at “Open Dividend Accruals” or “Change in Dividend Accruals” fields of an activity report for suitable dates, the number of shares is there.
Thank you very much everyone for the comments on this topic. It’s the first time I’m doing the actions tax declaration and took me a few hours to get it. @San_Francisco your proposal of custom layout for the report was super helpful.
A last question (& sorry in advance if it was covered already): where should I declare the cash “trésorerie” account I hold a IBKR. I’m using Vaud Tax and unsure where and how to add the info.
Thanks all in advance for your kind help
Under Sections wouldn’t you also have to include “Cash Reports”? Because as far as I know you would have to declare in your taxes all cash accounts you have at IBKR just like a bank account. I suspect most of us having at least 2 cash accounts, if buying VT that would be CHF and USD.
Possibly, if you declare all items and all cash balances in different currencies separately - but I don’t.
I just declare the aggregated total from the Net Asset Value section (plus interest of course, if applicable) - which appears as a split between cash & stock (plus dividend accruals) in that section.
I think I’ve had cash balances in 9 currencies last year.
Not familiar with that particular tax software (mine’s very similar to the Zurich one, I believe), but I don’t think anything would anything wrong with declaring it as a personal or current account (that’s compte privé or compte courant, isn’t it?), as shown in the thread linked by @jmp.
Anyone ever had to provide more information to the tax office? I provided the report as specified by San_Francisco and I just received a letter asking for my full IBKR report. Whatever that is…
I sent a mail to try to clarify what they want. This is in Neuchatel btw.
Can someone help me? I only have VT (arka) on IBKR, what would be the process to have a tax return attached to my due date on September 30th? Thank you.
For a single position I’d simply enter it directly into the Wertschriftensverzeichnis including all transactions and the tax app will calculate all the income and wealth. Normally the tax software would tell you if they need any supporting document.
If you want IBKR to issue statements for Swiss taxes, you can also vote on the feature
in the custom statement section where it asks for the period at the bottom of the page, it gives me only daily or monthly, it doesn’t allow me to enter precise dates.
It’s a bit confusing but you can ignore that setting and specify a custom date range when you manually ‘Run’ the statement after the creation.
As far as I can tell, the setting is relevant only if you want to have automated periodic delivery of that custom statement (and the only possible periods for automated delivery are daily and monthly).
let me bump this up as a late filer each year.
I have a bunch of ETF’s, Funds and individual stocks (20+) in my IB account that I’m also trading relatively actively.
As I found no easy way of telling “how much of what did I own on the 31.12.2022”, I’ve just taken the NLV from the 2022 tax report and have put it into my declaration without any detailing on the individual positions (I did put in “Diverse” ). Obviously I’m attaching the tax report, so not trying to hide anything, just trying to save us both time.
As long as I’m not after dividend tax returns (which were <100 USD last year), would that be enough? I guess I’m compliant with declaring my wealth, and I also assume the tax authorities are not going to actually care which stocks and ETF’s are holding that said wealth, are they?
