When Volkswagen AG (German Domiciled Company) pays a dividend of EUR 1000 – it immediately gets taxed at the German Statutory Tax Rate of 25% (EUR 250) irrespective of who the shareholder is.

However due to a Double Tax Agreement between Germany and various other countries, foreign residents may be entitled to a preferential Double Tax Agreement Rate of 15% (EUR 150).

Therefore, the differential of EUR 100 (EUR 250 – EUR 150) is recoverable in its entirety, but is retained by the Foreign Tax Office until all the complex administrative procedures and filing requirements are met.
