Tax data

GT supports importing ICTax price lists from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (SFTA). The imported data enables a direct comparison of your own dividend and interest income with the official tax values and the export of an eCH-0196 tax statement. Management of tax data (import, re-import and deletion) is available exclusively to users with administrator privileges. Usage of the imported data (comparison and export) is available to every user in the Dividends and interest report. The Tax data view can be reached in the navigation area via the static sub-element Tax data under Administrative data.

Hierarchy table structure

Tax data is displayed in a three-level tree table:

• Country: Localized country name (e.g. “Switzerland”)
• Tax year: Year within a country
• File: Uploaded price list file within a tax year

The table shows the columns Name, Upload date and Records. The upload date and records columns are only populated at file level.

Creating and managing tax data

Operations are performed via the context menu and depend on the selected level:

• No selection: “Create tax country…” opens a dialog with a country dropdown for selecting the tax country.
• Country selected: “Create tax year…” creates a new tax year for the selected country. “Delete…” removes the country with all associated tax years and files.
• Tax year selected: “Upload tax data…” opens a dialog for uploading a ZIP file containing the ICTax price list in XML format. “Delete…” removes the tax year with all associated files.
• File selected: “Re-import tax data…” reprocesses the existing file against the tenant’s current ISINs. “Delete…” removes the file and all associated tax data.
