The Hungarian Social Contribution Tax

Overview: 

The Hungarian Government passed a new bylaw, Government Decree 205/2023 (V.31) on 31 May, 2023, that requires Hungarian financial providers to withhold a Social Contribution Tax on certain capital gains and interest payments and remit these amounts directly to the government. 

 

You will find the answers to the main questions below:

 

What type of interest is subject to the Hungarian Social Contribution Tax (TAX)?

Interest coupon payments on Bonds, ETFs, closed-end ETFs and mutual funds purchased after July 1, 2023 are subject to the TAX.

 Bonds – on both the coupon payment and the capital gains.

ETFs, Closed End Funds and Mutual Funds – The dividend payment is considered as interest and therefore subject to this tax.

ETFs, Closed End Funds and Mutual Funds that are traded in non-EEA or other countries that do not have a tax treaty with Hungary are subject to the Capital Gain Tax.

 

What is the standard TAX Rate?

The standard TAX rate is 13%.

 

If I earn interest through Bond Coupons, am I required to pay the TAX?

Yes.

 

When is the 13% TAX rate applied to my account?

The 13% TAX rate is applied to your account on the date when the interest coupon or the proceeds on the sale of certain types of ETFs and mutual funds (see above) are credited to your account. You will find the withheld TAX amount as a separate line item in your Activity Statement.

 

What currency is used for the TAX?

The TAX is withheld in the same currency in which the interest coupon or proceeds have been credited.

 

I am not a Hungarian resident. Do I have to pay the TAX?

Non-Hungarian residents are not affected by the TAX. The TAX is withheld based on the declaration provided by you on your tax residency. 

 

Does the TAX apply to clients who are companies?

No.

 

Does the TAX apply to interest I earn through the Cash Yield Enhancement Program?

No.

 

Does the TAX apply to interest I earn through the Stock Yield Enhancement Program?

Under the existing rules, the TAX may apply to your interest earned through the Stock Yield Enhancement Program.

 

Why is trading of tax-impacted instruments limited?

Due to the duration between the announcement of the bylaw and its effective date, IB is unable to deploy the required tax withholding properly across its full global product set. To ensure correct adherence to the regulation, we must temporarily limit the ability to open new positions in affected products. Closing transactions in pre-existing positions will not be impacted. We will inform you as soon as the trading restrictions for the tax-impacted instruments have been removed. 

Irish Tax Withholding Reclaim Process

Overview: 

Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited (IBIE) must apply Irish withholding tax of 20% on credit interest paid to certain clients, including natural persons. However, you may be able to reclaim some or all of the tax withheld, if you are resident in a country with a Double Taxation Treaty (DTT) with Ireland, which includes all EEA countries.

To reclaim withholding tax, you must complete Form IC7. This article explains how to do this. You can find the form at this link:  

https://www.revenue.ie/en/self-assessment-and-self-employment/documents/form-ic7.pdf

Withholding on Publicly Traded Partnerships (“PTPs”) Effective Jan 2023

Background: 

As a result of U.S. Internal Revenue Regulations taking effect 1 January 2023, new withholding charges will be applied to sales proceeds from certain Publicly Traded Partnerships ("PTPs”) held by investors who are not U.S. taxpayers.  The IRS withholding charges are substantial, therefore, Interactive Brokers has taken steps to limit access to these products for investors who might be unaware of the risks of investing in these PTP products.

 Instructions on How to Access PTP Products are available below in this document.

What you need to know:

Amount of Withholding: 10% of sale or distribution proceeds.  This means 10% of the amount of funds that would settle resulting from any transaction or distribution, not just 10% on any calculated profit.

Example of PTP withholding:

Buy 200 shares @ 50. 
Transaction value = $10,000
Sell 200 shares @ 51. 
Transaction value = $10,200
Profit = $200. 
Withholding = $1020 USD

Assuming no tax reclaim requests, the loss in value to the investor would be $820

Affected Instruments: Please see the list at the end of this article.  The list is maintained on a best efforts basis and there may be some timing issues as information is refreshed.  Listed deliverable securities are in scope of the new regulation. Options and other derivative instruments with a PTP as the underlying security are not subject to withholding. However, if the option or derivative is converted into a PTP interest, a subsequent sale of such PTP security would be subject to withholding.

Special Exemptions: The IRS regulation provides issuers the ability to get an exemption from the PTP withholding requirement.  The exemption is valid for 92 days, and issuers are required to re-certify with the IRS to extend the duration of the exemption. IBKR will try, on a best-efforts basis, to publish which of the affected instruments have an operating exemption, but investors should ensure they are choosing products whose withholding conditions they fully understand.  The issuer document that provides for a withholding exemption is generally referred to as a "Qualified Notice"

What Investors are affected: All investors who are not considered ‘resident’ for U.S. tax purposes, i.e. investors who are not subject to U.S. taxation and tax reporting (and therefore doesn't file a W-9 IRS tax form).

Reporting: Withholding will be reported on the year-end Form 1042-S, Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding. 

How to Access PTP Products as a Non-US Taxpayer:  Please login to Client Portal and select the User menu (head and shoulders icon in the top right corner) followed by Settings. Then under Account Settings find the Trading section and click on the “PTP Trading Opt In/Out” link. The webpage allows you to request the ability to trade PTP securities. Once the request is submitted, it may take up to one hour for the ability to be activated.

Note that clients who no longer desire to trade PTP securities may request to deactivate the PTP trading ability via the same “PTP Trading Opt In/Out” link.

Additional Resources: For those interested in understanding additional information about the new regulation, please see the IRS website for IRC Sec. 1446(f): http://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/partnership-withholding

PTP Instruments

This list identifies PTP securities which may be subject to withholding under the IRS Regulation referenced above. The products are presented in 2 groups: those with a "Qualified Notice” exemption, and those "without Qualified Notice".  The lists are shown on a best-efforts basis for convenience only.  IBKR does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of the information, and investors should independently verify that products in which they are invested in, or intend to invest, have the necessary exemptions to avoid punitive withholding outcomes.  Duration of the exemptions should also be monitored by position holders in the instruments.

Connecticut Sales and Use Tax

The state of Connecticut imposes a sales and use tax which is applicable to online access to information including all data and access fees.

The tax rate as of 2017 is 1% and is applicable to clients with the state of legal residency of Connecticut or a Connecticut permanent/resident address.

The sales and use tax will be applied to all research and market data subscriptions as well as special connections such as VPN, IB Gateway, Extranet and Dedicated Leased Lines.

The sales and use tax will be passed through to client accounts at the time of the subscription billing. The tax is only applicable if a monthly fee is charged, therefore should an account receive a waiver the sales and use tax will similarly be waived.

 

 

Chicago Personal Property Tax

Chicago has a personal property tax which applies to a non-possessory computer lease by a Chicago resident. The Chicago tax authorities have ruled that tax is to be applied in cases where a customer pays for electronic research/use of an interactive site. The passive receipt or streaming of information is not subject to the tax.

Clients whose permanent residential address or principal business address is Chicago will have this tax passed through to their accounts.

The tax rate, as of October 2017, is 9%. The tax will be charged on the research and news feeds a client is subscribed to. Should a research and news feed be eligible to a waiver based upon commissions generated, the tax will not be applied.

As of October 2017, research and news subscriptions which would be subject to the tax would include

Base IBIS Research Platform and the IBIS Research Essentials Subscription Bundle
Cusip
Dow Jones News Service
Dow Jones Real Time News
US Press Release Feed
Reuters Global Newswire
Reuters StreetEvents Calendars
Reuters Fundamentals
Reuters Basic Newfeed
Morningstar Equity, ETF and Credit Reports
Wall Street Horizons
Zacks Equity Research Reports

The above list is provided on a best efforts basis and is subject to change. Clients will be responsible for any pass through tax regardless of any discrepancy from the list provided above.

Withholding Tax on Dividend Equivalent Payments - FAQs

Background

Beginning January 1, 2017, new IRS regulations will impose U.S. withholding taxes on US dividend equivalent payments to non-US persons holding derivative positions on US equities. Previously, US withholding tax was not imposed on these payments. The regulations require intermediaries, such as us, to act as withholding agents and collect US tax on behalf of the IRS. An overview of the tax, how it’s determined and the products impacted is provided below.
 
Overview
What is the purpose of the regulation?
The regulation derives from Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and is intended to harmonize the US tax treatment imposed on non-U.S. persons with respect to dividends on U.S. stock and dividend equivalent payments paid on derivative contracts that replicate (to a high degree) ownership of such stock.
 
An example of this would be a total return swap having IBM as its underlying.  A non-U.S. person holding an IBM stock position would be subject to a 30% US withholding tax (reduced by treaty) on dividend payments. On the other hand prior to the implementation of Section 871(m), a non-U.S. person holding long exposure to IBM on the swap could receive payments equivalent to the dividends without imposition of U.S. withholding tax. This was the case even though the payments replicated similar economic exposure. Section 871(m) now considers those ‘dividend equivalent payments’ subject to US withholding tax.
 
What is a dividend equivalent payment?
A dividend equivalent payment is any gross amount that references the payment of a dividend on a U.S. equity and that is used to compute any net amount transferred to or from the long party, even if the long party make a net payment to the short party or the net payment is zero. Accordingly, such payments would include not only an actual payment in lieu of a dividend but also an estimated dividend payment that is implicitly taken into account in computing one or more of the terms of the transaction, including interest rate, notional amount or purchase price.
 
In the case of a listed call option on a U.S. stock, for example, the holder of the call is not entitled to receive a dividend unless the option is exercised prior to the dividend ex-date. Nonetheless, the premium paid by the holder to purchase the option implicitly takes into account the present value of the expected dividends over the option term.[1] Since this factor serves to lower the payment from the option buyer to the seller, it is viewed as a dividend equivalent payment potentially subject to the rules.
 
Who is subject to the dividend equivalent withholding tax?
The tax applies to qualifying positions held in an account of a non-U.S. taxpayer. It does not apply to U.S. taxpayers. Accounts of non-U.S. taxpayers generally are evidenced by the submission of an IRS Form W-8 and can include the following account types: individual, joint, organization and trust.
 
What derivative instruments potentially are subject to the dividend equivalent withholding tax?
The regulations adopt a two-part test to determine if a derivative instrument is subject to the rules. First, the derivative instruments must reference the dividend on a U.S. equity security. Examples include:
-          equity options
-          regulated single stock futures
-          regulated index futures and options on index futures
-          structured and exchange traded notes
-          CFD contracts
-          convertible bonds
-          securities lending transactions
-          derivatives on custom baskets and
-          warrants
 
If the underlying position is a U.S. equity. The exchange upon which the instrument is traded and the identity of the counterparty do not affect the application of the rules. That is, a derivative can be subject to the rules, whether it is exchange listed or over the counter or trades in the United States or overseas.
 
Second, the derivative instrument must substantially replicate the economics of the underlying U.S. equity at the time of issuance. The rules look to delta (for simple contracts) and a substantially equivalency test (for complex contracts) to make this determination.
 
Delta is a correlation measurement that computes the ratio of the change in the fair market value of the derivative instrument to a change in the fair market value of the U.S. equity referenced by the derivative.  In general, for purposes of this regulation, delta is only determined once over the life of the derivative instrument – at the time it is ‘issued’. It is not recomputed as the fair market value of the underlying security changes or when the derivative instrument is re-sold in the secondary market.
 
For most contracts, the rules are as follows:
·         Pre-2017 – a derivative instrument issued prior to January 1, 2017 (i.e., anything held by a customer with us on December 31, 2016) is not subject to the new withholding tax rules.
·         2017 - a derivative instrument issued in 2017 is potentially subject to the new withholding tax regime if the delta at the time of issuance is 1.0.
·         After 2017 – a derivative instrument issued after December 31, 2017 is potentially subject to the new withholding tax rules if the delta at the time of issuance is 0.8 or greater.
If the derivative is classified as “complex,” the delta test does not apply and instead the substantial equivalency test applies. 
 
So When Is a Derivative Instrument Issued?
Identified when a derivative instrument is issued is very important. It determines if the instrument is subject to the rules (pre-2017 issued instruments are not) and when the delta computation is made. In general, an instrument is ‘issued’ when it comes into existence, its inception date or date of original issuance. Instruments are not issued when re-sold in the secondary market.
 
As a result, there are differences in the issuance rules for listed options, futures, other exchange traded products and over-the-counter products. For example, a listed option traded on a US exchange, generally, is not issued when first listed by an exchange as available for trading. Instead, the listed option is issued (delta determined) when the option is entered into by the customer. On the other hand, for transferable derivatives, such as exchange traded notes, convertible bonds and warrants, they would be issued only when first sold. The delta determined at that time would carryover when sold to a subsequent purchaser. 
 
Are There Any Exceptions?
The rules do provide limited exceptions to withholding. These include:
•        a derivative instrument that references a “qualified index” - generally, a passive broad publicly available index on U.S. equities such as the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 or Russell 2000.
•        a derivative instrument that references an index with little or no U.S. equity composition – such as the Hang Seng Index.
•        if the dividend equivalent payment (or portion thereof) would not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the non-US person owned the underlying security directly. This most often will occur for derivative instruments on U.S. mutual funds, REITs and exchange traded funds that pay ‘dividends’ which are re-characterized as capital gain distributions or returns of capital.
 
Can you provide some examples of when the rules will or will not apply?
•        Customer purchases single stock futures on IBM on January 2, 2017. The delta of the future is 1.0. The future is subject to the rule.
•        Customer purchases a deep in the money OCC listed option on IBM on December 28, 2016. The delta of the future is 1.0. The option is not subject to the rule as it was issued prior to 2017.
•        Customer purchases index future on a narrow based index on January 15, 2017. Assume the index is not a ‘qualified index.’ The future is subject to the rule.
•        Customer purchases an exchange trade note that tracks U.S. equities on January 2, 2017 with a delta of 1.0. The note was issued on July 1, 2016. The option is not subject to the rule as it was issued prior to 2017
 
How is the dividend equivalent withholding computed?
If the derivative instrument is subject to the new Section 871(m), a dividend equivalent payment with respect to such instrument equals the per share dividend on the underlying U.S. equity, multiplied by the number of underlying shares referenced by the instrument, multiplied by the delta (e.g., an option contract delivering 100 shares of a stock paying $1.00 dividend and having a delta of .80 would be subject to a tax based upon $80.00 dividend equivalent payment).
 
In the case of a complex derivative contract, the dividend equivalent will be equal to the per share dividend on the underlying, multiplied by the contract’s hedge equivalent to the underlying as calculated when the contract was issued.
 
How are contracts combined for purposes of determining delta?
Starting in 2018, customers who purchase derivative instrument such as a long call having a delta below the .80 threshold and selling a put on the same underlying and same share quantity within 2 days of one another will have those positions combined for the purpose of determining whether the threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the purchase of a long call with a delta of 0.60 coupled with the sale of a put with a delta of .40 would result in a long delta of 1.0).
 
In 2017, only over-the-counter instruments are potentially subject to combination to create a delta 1.0 instrument. 
 
What information do we provide to inform clients about impacted positions?
To minimize exposure to the withholding tax, we intend to provide a TWS warning message will be provided when non-U.S. persons create an order that could generate the tax. This will give customers the option of canceling the order to avoid potential withholding or submitting the order and possibly paying the tax when a dividend occurs. Customers may avoid the potential withholding tax by not owning the derivative on the applicable withholding date (i.e., generally the dividend Record Date).
 
 

IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not provide tax, legal or financial advice. Each customer must speak with the customer’s own advisors to determine the impact that the Section 871(m) rules may have on the customer’s trading activity.


[1] While the holder of the call option does not receive a dividend, the premium paid by the holder for the option implicitly takes expected dividends into account (i.e., because the stock price is expected to drop by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date, cash dividends imply lower call premiums).
