As the dividend is paid in full from the tax-specic capital contri-
bution account (steuerliches Einlagekonto as dened by section 
of the Körperschassteuergesetz (KStG – German Corporation Tax
Act)) (contributions not made to subscribed capital), payment will
be made without the deduction of capital gains tax or the solidarity
surcharge. e dividend is tax exempt for shareholders resident in
Germany. It does not entitle recipients to a tax refund or a tax credit.
In terms of taxation, the dividend distribution is considered as a
repayment of contributions from the capital contribution account
and – in the opinion of the tax authorities – serves to reduce the
cost of acquiring the shares.
