Now I have to complete a personal profile - Name, address, Irish tax number, etc?
 
So, now I seem to have registered - I presume it's the equivalent of ROS.

Now I have to figure out how I actually go about reclaiming the tax on my German dividends.
 
So I am not alone in having had previous applications for refunds rejected

SClass gave me this information

On the My BOP home page. Click Show all forms.
In Steuer International Section.
Click. Applications according to 50c EStG
Click. Application for reimbursement or exemption of capital gains according to section 50c or section 44a paragraph 9 of the income tax act.

(You are applying for the reimbursement.)
 
Based on your previous information regarding the type of relief, residence and legal form, the following legal basis for the application was determined:

It is filled in automatically
Antrag auf Erstattung von deutscher Abzugsteuer auf Kapitalerträge
- Nach § 50c Abs. 3 EStG in Verbindung mit DBA

which Google translates as

Application for a refund of German withholding tax on capital gains
- According to Section 50c Paragraph 3 EStG in conjunction with DBA

(This mentions Capital Gains again.)

No idea if I have a Relief Tax number, I will proceed without it.


So I need a Certificate of REsidence - which I don't have !

No need to log out. You can get that in ROS instantly.
 
Now we get to the meat of the application. I have to put in all the information relating to the share I am claiming for.

I will have to find all that information first so I will abort the application as I have other stuff to do.
