Denmark: New power of attorney required for tax reclaim service

28.06.2022

Further to Announcement C22015, Clearstream Banking¹ informs its customers that effective

11 July 2022

a new updated version of the form "Power of Attorney for Tax Reclaim Processes Follow-up - dividends paid with record date on or after 11 July 2022" must be used, when transmitting a tax reclaim request, in relation to Danish dividend distributions with record date on or after 11 July 2022.

For dividend payments prior to this date the current version remains valid ("Power of Attorney for Tax Reclaim Processes Follow-up - dividends paid with record date prior 11 July 2022").

The amendment process follows the upgrade of the existing link to Euronext Securities Copenhagen, where Clearstream Banking will access Euronext Securities Copenhagen for settlement in T2S via Clearstream Banking AG.

Impact on customers

Customers wishing to use the tax reclaim procedure, for Danish dividend distributions with record date on or after 11 July 2022, must use the new version of power of attorney, which will be published in the Market Taxation Guide - Denmark in due course.
