Capital gains are calculated by subtracting the acquisition costs (share capital\/<em>Stammkapital<\/em>, previous purchase of shares) from the selling price and are subject to a 25% income tax in accordance with \u00a7 32d EStG. Furthermore, the solidarity surcharge (<em>Solidarit\u00e4tszuschlag<\/em>) and church tax (<em>Kirchensteuer<\/em>), if applicable, are added.<br><br>In addition, the saver\u2019s flat tax deduction (<em>Sparerpauschbetrag<\/em>) is taken into account in the taxation; for singles, this amounts to \u20ac801, and \u20ac1602 annually for married couples.
