SIX Financial Information Launches Tax and Regulatory Data Service for Belgian Stock Exchange Tax (TOB)

SIX Financial Information has launched a new tax and regulatory data service, enabling international banks to automatically allocate tax rates for securities subject to the Belgian TOB. The new service is commercially available now on a global basis. As part of the Belgian TOB, there is a new requirement for the tax on any transactions carried out by Belgian taxpayers through foreign banks to be reported to the authorities in Belgium. This means foreign banks that support a Belgian client base are having to explore how to offer the appropriate tax services to their clients.

And the impacts felt by both the industry and the consumer are set to be far reaching.
