Saver’s flat rate

Tax allowance for capital gains.

In brief: Tax allowance for capital gains.

Meaning in practice

Since 2023, 1,000 euros (singles) or 2,000 euros (married couples) of capital gains per year have been tax-free. The prerequisite is an exemption order from the bank – otherwise you have to get the tax back via your tax return.

Context for investors and traders

For traders, this term is most useful when preparing and executing an order. Its meaning depends on the venue, liquidity, time frame and order type. A single reading is not a reliable buy or sell decision.

How to use this in practice

Use the term first to describe the situation and add verifiable data: time frame, benchmark, costs and liquidity. Only then does it become an assessment that can be connected to an investment objective and risk budget.

What to keep in mind
