Summary: 
Statute of Limitations for tax reclaims for 2008 in Austria.
Tue, 22/01/2013

We want to remind you that according to the existing statute of limitations for reclaiming the withholding tax on Austrian dividends paid during 2008, we are approaching the reclaim deadline of 31 December 2013.

Therefore, according to this regulation all tax reclaim forms covering dividends due during 2008, have to arrive at the Austrian Tax Authorities by 31 December 2013, at the latest (five year period for tax reclaims). UniCredit Bank Austria’s deadline for such reclaims is December 17, 2013.

Should you have sent tax reclaim forms directly to the Austrian Tax Authorities without involving UniCredit Bank Austria and should you require assistance in regard to investigating the status of these reclaims please provide us with an excel sheet containing the following data:

  • Name of applicant
  • Country of residence of the applicant
  • Name of security for which the tax reclaim has been issued
  • Amount of shares
  • Due date
  • Reclaim amount

Impact on investors: Please investigate outstanding tax reclaims for 2008; deadline for filing such reclaims at the Austrian Tax Authorities is 31 December 2013.
