"They are not selling you an investment product, they are supporting you to get clarity in the Austrian systems and then help you buy the right investment. Worth every penny, transparent, diligent."
"They have been incredibly informative and supportive in setting up our investments in Austria. Only wish we had started working with him sooner."
"They take the time to listen, explain things clearly, and will make you feel like your financial goals actually matter. It's refreshing to deal with a company where the service feels both personal and well-informed."
The Exemption Exists. The Question Is Whether You Use It.
Every quarter without restructuring is another quarter of KeSt leaving your portfolio. The exemption doesn't apply retroactively. But from the moment your portfolio is correctly structured, it compounds tax-free.
