Tax advantages on profits compared to private investments

Setting up a trading company offers considerable tax advantages for traders and investors. In contrast to private investments, capital gains from share transactions in the Ltd. company are generally taxed at the corporation tax rate of 15% (plus solidarity surcharge), but only on 5% of the profit, as 95% of the profits remain tax-free (Section 8b KStG).

This means that the effective tax burden on capital gains from share transactions in the limited company is significantly lower than in the case of private taxation, where 25% flat-rate withholding tax (plus solidarity surcharge and, if applicable, church tax) is due. In addition, in many cases, trade tax is not levied if the limited company is only active as an asset management company.

Due to the lower tax burden, a larger proportion of the profits made remain in the company and can be reinvested. This gives you an asset advantage, which leads to faster asset accumulation and a better leverage effect for your investments.

With a trading company, you not only create tax efficiency, but also the basis for sustainable wealth accumulation. Let us advise you and benefit from the advantages of a tailor-made tax structure.

Founding a trading company - we support you

If you are planning to set up your own trading company, you should familiarize yourself with the necessary requirements in advance. In principle, these are similar to any other limited company formation. However, in addition to the necessary aspects such as a shareholders' agreement, liability and the usual share capital of EUR 25,000, a clear business purpose for “investment and trading” is defined for this type of company.

As previously mentioned, private investors pay tax on their profits as capital gains at a rate of 25 percent, while as a limited company you can expect a reduced tax rate of 1.54 percent due to sales. However, it should be noted that annual full distributions of profits to shareholders result in double taxation due to the capital gains tax that then applies, which should be avoided. Instead, you should aim for long-term reinvestment of profits.

As tax consultants for trading companies, we are happy to provide you with comprehensive advice throughout the entire formation process.
We accompany the notarial formation including all formation documents, whose legal security we ensure through cooperation with lawyers from our digital partner law firm moonlaw, support you in setting up the necessary accounts and securities accounts for your future business activities, take over the registration with the tax office for you (tax number and LEI) and prepare your opening balance sheet in compliance with all tax law requirements.

As far as the formation time is concerned, our experience shows that you should allow around 21 days for this process. We are also often asked how high the formation costs for a trading Ltd. company are. These are made up of consulting costs, notarization costs and various registration costs - but can be fully deducted as a business expense for tax purposes. At steueragenten.de, we have already worked successfully with a large number of trading companies. We offer you the all-in-one solution for your incorporation process and an additional package of accounting & consulting services from our experienced team so that you can concentrate fully on your business activities as a trading company.

Frequently asked questions

What are the advantages of a trading company?

- Save taxes when selling shares: effective tax rate 1.54%
- Income from real estate is exempt from trade tax (except for the sale of real estate)
- Limited liability company
- Full deduction of business expenses
- Temporal shifting of distributions possible
- Retirement provision possible.

What are the disadvantages of a trading Ltd. company?

A trading Ltd. company is a corporation and involves somewhat higher costs in terms of formation and administration. Among other things, ongoing costs for tax advice (bookkeeping, tax returns, annual financial statements) as well as the bookkeeping and accounting obligation mean that the formation of a trading Ltd. company does not appear to make sense for every investment. We therefore advise you to obtain individual information and advice on the personal advantages and disadvantages of a trading Ltd. company.

When does a holding company make sense?

A holding company offers various tax advantages for profit distributions or the sale of shares in corporations (e.g. Ltd. company shares or stocks). This corporate structure establishes a so-called group structure. It is important not to lose sight of the costs and benefits and to seek comprehensive information and advice.

Can I distribute profits from trading transactions directly?

In principle, yes. However, this would mean foregoing the retention advantage.

Difference between private vs. business - how is it taxed?

Income is generally taxed on private assets. As a rule, capital gains are taxed at a rate of 25% plus solidarity surcharge of 5.5% (+ church tax if applicable). As a rule, income-related expenses cannot be deducted. There is a saver's allowance for this. In the case of business assets, only the profit is taxed. According to §8b KStG, 95% of profits from the sale of shareholdings in other corporations (sale of shares) are tax-free. Conversely, this means that only 5% of the profits are taxed with corporation tax, the solidarity surcharge and trade tax. As trade tax and solidarity surcharge depend on the assessment rate of the municipalities, an approximate tax burden of 30% is expected on 5% of profits. Calculated on the entire profit, the effective tax rate is only 1.54%.
