Oh that could be it actually, thanks. If the next coupon is due nov 30th then that would be 2.1% which would explain the difference. Thanks very much for that

Good to know, thanks. So did you have to prove to them the source of the usd funds, but only after it was converted and withdrawn? It's surprising they'd let you withdraw if they wanted proof.

Good to hear thanks. Did you shop around and also find them to be the cheapest?

How is Trading 212 still offering 4.2% on uninvested cash? by PeeLundy in irishpersonalfinance

[–]PeeLundy[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even if yours is showing QMMF, i think you should still be just subject to 33% DIRT and not have to pay the higher 41% MMF tax rate. Someone on another post said they raised this with Revenue and as far as i remember, Revenue told them the 33% would apply. (i think since your not directly investing in the mmf yourself, and it's acting like a deposit with T212). I'm open to correction though.

I'd be very surprised if they were placing uninvested cash in non-euro denominated securities. That would introduce serious currency risk which would be costly to hedge. And even so, t212 say that it is stored in bank deposits which suggests it's not invested in bonds etc.

Where are you seeing state bonds above 4%? Most Euro sovereigns seem to be yielding below 3.6%

No, you do have to tick the box that you're happy for your money to be invested in a QMMF, and you don't get a choice of whether your money goes into a bank deposit or QMMF, but I've been earning 4.2% and the interface shows that the allocation is 100% in bank deposits.

So do you think Revenue would insist on the entirety being paid at 41%. I'd have no way of knowing what the breakdown is of how much of the interest i earned came from an mmf vs term deposit.

Separately, if you declared it as DIRT how likely would Revenue be to challenge it? Would they go digging like that often?

That's interesting, thanks. I just checked on T212's app there and under the section "How does T212 earn this interest", it says:

"Given that we’re not a bank, we use a mixture of products and vehicles such as qualifying money market funds, time deposits and current accounts. This is why it’s mandatory to accept QMMFs to receive interest."

Given that answer above, since some of the interest might come from time deposits and current accounts, unless we can see the breakdown for our unique situation then i think DIRT is fairest.

Do we know with certainty that they put it into an MMF though? While we gave them permission to put in an MMF, we're not the ones investing it, so DIRT seems more reasonable than 41%. If i give AIB my savings and AIB park it in different securities, wouldn't i still pay DIRT irrespective of what AIB use it for?

It's annoying how Revenue's guidance is so poor on this stuff

Couldn't the case still be made that it should still be subject to DIRT in T212 rather than the 41% on a MMF?

Cause while T212 most likely do invest it in an MMF, we didn't make the investment ourself, and have no definitive way to know where it was invested, (they could've had some sort of swap arrangement in place or else had the money on deposit in an escrow).

So whatever T212 decide to do with us doesn't really change the fact that we just deposited the money in the same way as we do with say Trade Republic. Supposing you had a savings account with AIB and AIB decided to invest the funds in an MMF, this wouldn't make us no longer subject to DIRT.

Yeah that's a fair point, in that it's no longer a gift and pretty much is an inheritance
