What we have recorded
An ISIN encodes a country and an identifier, and nothing else. Everything below it is recorded by hand, row by row.
| Kind of instrument | ETF |
|---|---|
| UCITS, or an AIF recognised in the EEA | Yes |
| Share class | Distributing |
| Registered for public offering in Belgium | Registered |

Reynders tax (art. 19bis)
When units in a fund investing more than 10% in debt claims are sold or redeemed, Belgium taxes the interest component of the gain — the fund's Belgian TIS — at 30%, and the 10% capital-gains tax then applies to the remainder.
Whether Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF — (EUR) Distributing Shares is in scope has not been assessed: neither its asset test nor, for a distributing class, its statutes have been read.
Where this comes from
- Belgian registration
- FSMA register, party 01829 'Vanguard Funds' (plc, Irish UCITS), EEA UCITS effective 23/11/2015 — the umbrella confirmed in the 2026-08-05 sweep for IE00BK5BQT80. This is an Irish-domiciled sub-fund of that umbrella, and registration attaches at umbrella level (see the "Umbrella registration" note), so it inherits it. Checked 2026-08-05.
- Reynders scope (art. 19bis)
- Not assessed. Scope turns on the asset test (>10% in debt claims; 25% for lots acquired before 2018) plus, for a distributing class, the statutes' distribution wording — none of which has been read for this fund. Recorded Unknown on 2026-09-01 (WS-31 Phase 1); the factsheet's bond share and replication method, or the fund appearing on an issuer Belgian-TIS page, would settle it.
- How the row was built
- Checksum valid (ISO 6166). Name, UCITS status, Irish domicile and distributing share class read from the justETF profile for IE00B945VV12 on 2026-08-09.

- What stock-exchange tax applies to Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF — (EUR) Distributing Shares?
- We apply 0.12% of the order amount, on buying and on selling alike. The same rate applies in both directions: TOB is a tax, not a broker commission.
- Why this rate rather than another?
- For a fund, 1.32% requires two conditions at once: registration for public offering in Belgium (FSMA) and an accumulating share class. Miss either one and the rate falls to 0.12%. The reasoning applied to IE00B945VV12 is set out on this page, with its sources.
- Has this classification been verified?
- It is sourced but not yet independently verified: nobody has checked this row against Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF — (EUR) Distributing Shares's KID or against a real statement. The exact sources are cited on this page so that you can follow them.

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.
