- rorykoehler 7y agoGermany recently changed the law so you have to pay capital gains on unrealised gains so even that is expensive now.
- wbl 7y agoWell aren't there gains if you are being taxed?
- crucialfelix 7y agoWow that's complicated. As you hold the fund, each year you need to recalculate estimated cap gains. You do get a credit if the fund goes down. But what if I (German resident US citizen) leave the country before I sell the fund? They would have to refund all they had taxed; otherwise how do you reconcile that with tax in a new country of residence? https://www.howtogermany.com/pages/germantaxesforinvestment.html https://www.howtogermany.com/pages/germantaxesforinvestment....
