German Investor Tax Reporting
The tax solution for mutual investment funds
Reduce risk and enable investors to take advantage of tax benefits with our Fund Reporting Solution
With the amendment of the German Investment Tax Act in 2018, the requirements for tax reporting for investment funds have fundamentally changed. In particular, the calculation and provision of tax-relevant key figures to fund investors, such as the equity participation rate, presents fund providers with the challenge of providing a suitable reporting solution for investment funds.
Effective and easily accessible tax reporting is crucial for the successful distribution of investment funds on the German market. It offers your clients the opportunity to sustainably increase the after-tax return on their investments by utilising the partial tax exemption. Our German Investor Tax Reporting helps you to fulfil tax requirements and provide your customers with transparent and reliable tax reporting.

FAQs
How long does it take to implement the reporting solution for investment funds?
The implementation of a Fund Reporting Solution usually takes 2-4 weeks.
What does the implementation involve for me as a customer?
We work directly with your fund administrators on the necessary data exchange, so your involvement in the implementation of the Fund Reporting Solution is minimised.
Can PwC help me set up my review function?
Yes, we offer technological solutions to support your review. These include daily reports, visualisations and annual service confirmations.
What personnel capacity do I need to have?
Experience has shown that the effort is limited to less than one hour per week on average: You provide us with the ISIN of the products and we take over the entire process. Thanks to direct data exchange with your administrators, your work is limited to monitoring the calculation results.
What advantages does PwC offer compared to the reporting services of an administrator?
PwC ensures that the currently applicable requirements are met at all times. During the ongoing reporting process, we use an early warning system in our Fund Tax Reporting Tool to draw your attention to any anomalies and investigate the reasons for them. Of course, we answer tax-related questions about reporting as part of our range of services. We also offer you suitable monitoring solutions to fulfil and document your monitoring obligations towards service partners.
We regularly receive enquiries from investors about tax issues. To what extent does PwC's reporting offer support us?
The Fund Reporting Portal allows your investors to view and download all tax-relevant data at any time. For example, you can place the link to our Fund Reporting Solution on your website or attach it to standardised reply emails to investors.
