Frequently asked questions about taxes

Finax invests your funds in globally diversified ETF portfolios. Returns on these investments are subject to Irish tax. For most Irish-domiciled and EU-domiciled ETFs, gains and dividends are liable to exit tax, currently 38%, and a "deemed disposal" applies every eight years, meaning tax can fall due on your gains even if you have not sold. There is no annual exemption against this tax, and it is generally self-assessed.

Finax provides the account information and documentation you need to meet these obligations, but you remain responsible for reporting and paying the tax due. This treatment applies where you are tax resident in Ireland. If you are tax resident in another country, please check how your investment may be taxed there.

If you are investing for retirement via Pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP), contributions to a PEPP can qualify for income tax relief, subject to age-related limits and an earnings cap, and your investment grows free of tax inside the fund. Withdrawals are taxed as income when you draw down, though part of the fund may be taken as a tax-free lump sum. The rules and limits differ from those for a basic portfolio, and eligibility depends on your circumstances.

Finax does not provide tax advice. You should consider obtaining independent professional advice where appropriate.

This applies depending on your country of tax residence. If you pay tax in another country, please check the possible tax aspects of your investment in that specific country.
When managing your assets, we use a combination of tax advantages available under the applicable legislation. Our portfolios are made up solely of ETF funds, which may benefit from favourable tax treatment once the relevant legal conditions are met. We also adapt purchases and sales during rebalancing to this.

Tax treatment depends on your country of tax residence. If you pay tax in another country, please check the possible tax aspects of your investment in that specific country.
Returns from standard mutual funds are often taxed when they are sold, which can reduce your net profit compared with investing in ETFs.

Example: You invest 10,000 euros in mutual funds and another 10,000 euros in ETFs traded on the stock exchange. Assume both investments grow by 8% p.a. over the next 10 years, so each is worth 21,600 euros at the end – a profit of 11,600 euros. Depending on the tax treatment applicable in your country of residence, the mutual fund gain may be reduced by tax, whereas ETFs may benefit from more favourable tax treatment once the relevant conditions are met.
