ZS-RD1 + ZS-RD1A — Dividend WHT Refund (Austria)

What is ZS-RD1 + ZS-RD1A — Dividend WHT Refund (Austria)?

ZS-RD1 + ZS-RD1A — Dividend WHT Refund (Austria) is used to claim a Austria withholding tax refund. Requires the residence-state tax authority's certification on ZS-RD1's own §5 Ansässigkeitsbescheinigung before submission — this product never fills that block. ZS-RD1A (Beiblatt A) must be filed together with ZS-RD1, not separately. Austria withholds 27.5% on dividends paid to non-residents; treaty-country investors can recover the excess above their treaty rate. See the full Austria withholding tax guide.
