I've never invested in any German stocks or ETFs and I wonder what would be the tax implications of buying and selling btce. As a foreign investor when I realize any profits, will I have to pay any capital gain tax?

I tried to google German tax law, it's clear that dividends are entitled to 25% withholding tax but I cannot find relevant info whether foreign investors are liable to capital gain tax? If anyone can shed some lights it all be great! I'm very interested in this product but I haven't bought it because I don't know if I'll be taxed!

If you live in one of the European Countries where this product is passported (List is in OP, but please doublecheck with HanEft Website) you should be able to trade this ETC like any other product, with your home-country fiscal regime.
Otherwise it could be more complicated, with difference not only in taxation, but also in access to this product (like in the UK, for example, where you have to be an institutional investor to buy the shares).

Thanks! I live in Asia and I usually don't have to be worried about capital gain tax investing in like the US market. Just not sure how Germany taxes non European investors...
