Quote from ssss:
No info is provided to anyone! Neither the US nor the German tax authority have any info regarding your option trades.
Author suspect,that you are some naiv .
That's as far as i understand the tax issues, I may be wrong though in case of Germany, but then again, doesn't Germany have a self-assessment tax system, where you report your income, net capital gains and etc!?
Yes have ,but exchange of information between
Swiss and Germany exist .
And suspect ,between USA and Germany alsov
(for tax delict)
But author have possibility not to be taxed full in consistency with Germany and USA law .
No, I'm not naive. Once again, your broker, assuming a US one, does NOT report option trades to the US tax authority (the trades are not reported even for the US citizens), so the US tax authority has nothing to forward on to the German tax authority, capish!?
