Stock-exchange tax, ETF by ETF
An ETF's TOB rate is not readable from its ISIN. It depends on whether the fund is registered for public offering in Belgium and on whether its share class accumulates — two facts we record one at a time. Here is what we have recorded.
- ETF
- 61 ETFs in the registry
- Not yet independently verified
- 61 rows have not yet been checked against a primary source from the fund.
- Rate undetermined
- 3 ETFs have no determinable rate as things stand.

For these ETFs the fact that decides between two rates is missing. The figure shown carries our previous classification rather than an answer.

Accumulating or distributing S&P 500: the same index, two different tax bills
iShares Core S&P 500 comes as an accumulating class (CSPX) and a distributing one (IUSA). Same index, same cost — but one pays 1.32% TOB and no dividend tax, the other 0.12% TOB and 30% on its dividends. The arithmetic decides which is cheaper.

Why a very large order pays a lower effective TOB rate
The Belgian stock exchange tax is capped per transaction — €1,300, €1,600 or €4,000. Above the value where the cap bites, the effective rate falls, and splitting one large order into several can cost more, not less.

Why Bolero and DEGIRO tax the same ETF differently
The same accumulating ETF is charged 1.32% TOB at one Belgian broker and 0.12% at another. The divergence is not a bug — it comes from how each broker reads FSMA registration on an umbrella fund.
