Tax return and accounting: documents and information

Which documents you need for your tax return or annual accounts, where to find them and what AQUATY does (and does not) provide.

Written by Christian von Albrecht

Many investors need documents about their investments for their tax return, their tax advisor or the annual accounts of their company. Here you find an overview.

Please note: this article does not constitute tax advice. For your individual tax treatment, please consult your tax advisor.

Does AQUATY issue a tax certificate or income statement?

No. AQUATY does not issue tax certificates or annual income statements and is not a paying agent. Therefore, no withholding tax is deducted by AQUATY. Payments such as interest, repayments or distributions are made by the issuer or its issuing vehicle; tax-relevant information on these payments is provided by the issuer.

Private investors therefore generally declare income from these investments themselves in their tax return (in Germany usually in Annex KAP). Your tax advisor will be happy to help.

Which documents are useful?

  • Subscription summary (subscription certificate) of each investment

  • Terms and conditions of the security

  • Individual cost information (including the brokerage fee, if applicable)

  • Your own bank statement as proof of payment

  • If applicable, further offering documents such as the key information document or risk notices

Where can I find these documents?

  1. Open your Portfolio and click on the investment (asset).

  2. Open the relevant investment offering.

  3. Under Documents → Security Documents, expand the respective signing.

  • Download links are valid for about 15 minutes – if a link no longer works, reload the page.

  • If you invested through several accounts (e.g. privately and through a company), each account has its own documents. Co-investors find their documents in their own accounts.

  • For several investments, please download the documents for each investment separately.

Investing through a company (annual accounts)

For companies that prepare balance sheets, an investment is generally recognised at acquisition cost; a brokerage fee is generally part of the incidental acquisition costs. The specific accounting and tax treatment should be determined by your tax advisor.
