CDB-Group CSDs
Market intimacy and specific role as collector of transaction tax
In countries charging tax on transactions, a CSD-Group usually acts as the collecting entity on behalf of authorities. For example: CDB France collects French Financial Transaction Tax on securities transactions.
Where relevant, we offer targeted withholding tax relief services for certain international securities. For example: CDB UK & Ireland and CDB Nederland are a Qualified Intermediary for US securities and can offer reduced withholding tax rates to other Qualified and non-Qualified Intermediaries.
