Background – from the investor to the provider
The service was initially a response to new strict government reporting requirements for 2019. In short, the new requirements transfers the duty to declare securities transactions from the investor to the financial institution where the account is registered. We expect more to come and are ready to handle all changes and additions.

Following the publication of the new requirements were major Nordic financial institutions searching for a harmonized and generic tax solution that would withstand the test of time, and Euronext Securities Oslo took a lead. The module was a success and reported holdings not previously declared. Now, the module is under constant development and is thus far the most sophisticated tax calculations- and reporting module for securities available in EU, UK and the Americas.
Technology
The first step is that the financial institution uploads the investor data and transaction data to the VPS TAX module, making sure that Corporate Actions are coded according to the ISO-standard. Currently, a correct calculation requires a complete purchase and sales history based on the trade date of each ISIN. We have a vast set of rules for corporate actions and capital events that is in sync with the Tax Code. All this ensures a correct tax calculation and file that is submitted to the tax administration and the investor.
