Hello everyone. Almost two years ago I bought some

$BAYN (-2,98%) shares almost two years ago. Of course it's annoying that the price has fallen so much. Before they were in my portfolio, the price had already fallen by almost 50%. Currently just under 60%.


The only question is: they are old shares from before 200X, i.e. tax-free, including on the dividend. Conversely, as far as I know, I can't claim any tax losses when I sell them - I don't even know the purchase price.


Does it make sense to hold them because of the tax-free dividend and hope that the share price will also rise?

Until 2009 (31.12.?), only capital gains were tax-free; capital losses until then are no longer offset against current gains! Dividends are always subject to capital gains tax of 25% + solidarity surcharge + corporation tax if applicable - even on shares acquired before 2009! Exceptions within the FSA and/or non-assessment certificate from the tax office! I wish you all a peaceful pre-Christmas period and a happy 2nd Advent!

@1999-topeuro not quite correct as far as I know: if the dividend is paid in full from the tax deposit account, the dividend is not subject to taxation for domestic shareholders (e.g. Telekom, Deutsche Post)

Thanks for the addition, that's basically true! But you shouldn't rely on it: at Swiss Post it was paid until 2022 (in my opinion at least partially) for 2023 in 2024, but it was not a "deposit distribution" and therefore fully taxable with capital gains tax! For Telekom, this has been the case so far and should (but not certainly) remain so for a few more years!
However, taxation will then take place when the Telekom shares are sold, as the possible price gain is added to the price gain by the dividends received in the years of ownership of the Telekom share! However, offsetting losses with other shares is thus made possible. Hopefully this will not be changed: I particularly appreciate this factor in the Telekom share (in addition to the super dividend)!

Depends on how many shares we are talking about...

@M9D7 No, it doesn't. It just depends on how much return you expect from Bayer and how much from an alternative asset

@DonkeyInvestor does it make no difference to you whether you have 5k or 200k in there?

With 5k no cock crows but with 200k it would be stupid not to redeploy a part of it

@M9D7 of course it makes no difference at all.

@M9D7 I don't even know how to answer the question. Why should it make a difference? If the investment no longer fits, then it doesn't matter whether it's worth 50 or 500k. Nobody should give anything away.
@DonkeyInvestor quite simply
OP seems to have neither a high risk appetite nor much knowledge. If there is 200k in it, it would simply be pointless. At 5k it doesn't matter.
@M9D7 Currently just under 16k.

@M9D7 Why doesn't it itch and why would anyone have even 50 euros lying around somewhere where it makes no sense?

@M9D7 you let again
Are you sure that the dividend is tax-free?
@xXnadXx at least what I found out on the Internet. If the share is from before 2009, there are no taxes.
@Imhothep only on the profits from the sale. You still pay tax on the dividend if you are above the tax-free amount.

@xXnadXx That is correct. Once the tax-free amount has been used up, tax is also payable on shares purchased before 2010. That's the case for me. With a long horizon and if I don't need the money, I would leave the Bayer lying around
