Do I have to pay this ESD tax?
Home > FAQ > Before you order > Taxes and bank secrecy > Criteria

If you are domiciled in a country of the European Union, the interest income of some investments will be subject to a withholding tax.

The criteria to know whether your account will be subject to this withholding tax or not is your country of domicile, not your citizenship.

In other words, the Swiss bank will collect this tax on your account if you are an official resident of one of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Spain, United Kingdom.
