Fiscal product treatment

The fund is established in the Netherlands. The fund is managed as a 'naamloze vennootschap' (public limited company). The fund has the status of 'fiscal investment institution' in the sense of article 28 of the Dutch Corporate-Income Tax Act 1969, and, as such, is taxed at a corporate-income tax rate of 0%.The fund is obliged to pay out the realized current income in the form of dividend within 8 months after the end of the financial year. From 1 January 2007 the fund withholds Dutch dividend tax at a rate of 15% from these dividend payments. The fund can in principle use the Dutch treaty network to partially recover any withholding tax on its income.

Fiscal treatment of investor

For a private investor residing in the Netherlands, the actual received interest, dividends or capital gains are not relevant for tax purposes. For Dutch tax-resident private investors, their holdings fall under Box 3. Investors pay annual tax on a fixed yield calculated based on the value of their assets as of 1 January. The return depends on the pro-rata allocation of assets to different categories, namely savings, debts or other assets. The holdings qualify as other assets for which the return rate is set at 6.04% (as of 1/1/2024; 6.17% as of 1/1/2023). The return rate is adjusted annually based on historical returns from previous years. The balance of the different asset categories is referred to as the return base. The effective return rate is then calculated by dividing the return by the return base. This effective return rate is applied to the savings and investments base to calculate the benefit from savings and investments. The savings and investments base is equal to the return base minus the tax-free amount. Investors pay income tax (36% in 2024; 32% in 2023) on this calculated benefit from savings and investments. The withheld Dutch dividend tax (15% as of 1/1/2024) is creditable against the income tax payable for investors residing in the Netherlands. Investors who are not subject to (exempt from) Dutch corporate tax (including Dutch pension funds) are not taxed on the result obtained. Dutch exempt entities can fully reclaim the 15% dividend tax withheld on dividends.Investors subject to Dutch corporate tax may be taxed on the result obtained from their investment in the fund, including dividend income and capital gains. Dutch corporate taxpayers can, in principle, credit the withheld dividend tax (15% as of 1/1/2024) against corporate tax and, under certain conditions, credit the excess in later years. For investors outside the Netherlands, their own national tax legislation applies to foreign investment funds. Shareholders who are not subject to tax in the Netherlands and reside in countries that have a double taxation treaty with the Netherlands may, depending on the treaty, reclaim (a portion of) the Dutch dividend tax from the Dutch tax authorities. A pension fund located in another EU member state or a country that has entered into an information exchange agreement with the Netherlands and is similar to a Dutch pension fund is also entitled to a refund of Dutch dividend tax. The above is based on current Dutch tax legislation.
