TBSZ Account

Hungarian tax-resident clients can add a fixed-duration TBSZ account and take advantage of tax shelter benefits. A long-term investment (TBSZ) account provides preferential tax treatment for profit/gains on investments held three to five years.

TBSZ accounts must always be linked with an Individual account, and you may have one TBSZ account per collection year, up to a maximum of five TBSZ accounts. A collection year is the year in which you open and fund your TBSZ account. To link to an individual account, please take the steps outlined here.

Your TBSZ account can only be funded during the collection year, and the minimum funding amount for a TBSZ account is HUF 25,000. Withdrawals can be made at any time, but the preferential tax treatment is lost if you withdraw before the end of year three and reduced if you withdraw before the end of year five.

SMSF Account

A self managed superannuation fund or SMSF is a private superannuation fund, regulated by the Australian Taxation Office, that can be owned and managed by up to four members. Accounts are only available to Australian customers whom are carrying out the role of trustee or director of a Self Managed Superannuation Fund (“SMSF”). The client must be 18 years or over to open an account.

Our SMSF account is designed to enable compliance with the applicable regulations governing superannuation funds in Australia.
