  • German Tax Information (Tax regime applicable from January 1, 2018) and,
  • German Tax Information (Tax regime applicable pre-January 1, 2018)

Partial German Tax Exemption: A partial exemption from German income tax may be available to German investors where income is derived from investment funds which invest predominantly in shares or real estate. The amount of income that may be subject to the partial exemption depends on whether the fund is categorized as:

  • ‘Equity fund’/’Aktienfonds’
  • ‘Mixed fund’/’Mischfonds’
  • ‘Real estate fund’/’Immobilienfonds’ or,
  • ‘Other fund’/ ‘Sonstiger’.

Below is a list showing how each Global Funds I Plc fund is classified under German tax law for the purposes of the above-mentioned partial tax exemption.
