peer agreement (net): +1EU Savings Tax Directive Explanation: Die Zinsrichtlinie, die am 1. Juli 2005 in Kraft tritt, betrifft die Besteuerung von Zinseinkünften, die ein EU-Bürger in einem anderen Mitgliedsstaat erzielt. Ich weiß nicht, welche du meinst oder nicht meinst, aber die, die am 01.07.2005 in Kraft tritt, läuft unter EU Savings Tax Directive. Möglicherweise ist hier nur ein Loop Hole geschlossen worden - d.h. du meinst doch das, was du ausgeschlossen hattest? From the 1st Link: The EU Savings Tax Directive coordinating the taxation of private investors' cross-border savings income will come into effect on July 1, 2005. The last hurdle was in Switzerland. It was surmounted on March 31, 2005 when the Swiss deadline for calling a referendum on the bilateral tax agreement struck with the EU lapsed and the agreement's ratification was sealed. There had been a risk that the Swiss would put the issue to a referendum that might have scuppered their agreement and thus the EU directive. Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg had insisted on "equivalent measures" (i.e. a withholding tax or automatic exchange of information) to be applied by important third countries, especially Switzerland, and dependent territories (e.g. the Channel Islands). The ECOFIN Council had reached political unanimity on the EU Savings Tax Directive back in June 2003, but it did not conclude that equivalent taxation measures had been agreed with third countries until June 2004. ---> The originally planned start date of the directive was January 1, 2005, but it had to be delayed owing to problems with the timetable for ratification in Switzerland.
