How do you handle taxes with EU brokers in Austria?
I moved to Austria for a year and a half. Keeping everything simple with steuereinfach. KESt gets automatically deducted, almost no tax work for ETFs. But when I look at foreign brokers or derivative accounts, the tax situation under Austrian law gets messy fast, like, I have to deal with capital gains & annual reporting on my own. Even sometimes I want to put small positions for risk management, it makes me nervous about extra filing hassle and compliance risk. Keeping simple on tax is just as important as low fees for me. How do you guys handle this in Austria? Do you care more about easy tax reporting or solid regulation? Any EU-regulated platforms with clear Austrian tax treatment? P.S. I do NOT trust those offshore regulation like CySEC. (apologize for the ChatGPT translation, I barely speak German)
