MiKaDiv compliance automated end-to-end

Prepare for the new reporting process by automating the entire workflow with Xceptor MiKaDiv.

What MiKaDiv requires and why end-to-end automation matters

MiKaDiv replaces Germany's paper-based withholding tax process with a mandatory digital reporting regime, effective 1 January 2027. For custodians, this means:


Blogs icon
Collecting beneficial owner, trade, and income data across multi-level custody chains for every reportable income event.
Audit log
Validating hundreds of data fields against the BZSt XML schema prior to submission.
Biography
Managing omnibus allocations, holding-period logic, and repo/stock-lending qualification.
Data validation
Transmitting reports directly to the German Tax Authority and capturing the UUID that enables downstream investor tax reclaims.

How Xceptor MiKaDiv handles the complexity of German tax reporting

The Xceptor MiKaDiv automates the entire MiKaDiv reporting and tax reclaim lifecycle end-to-end, from upstream data ingestion and validation through regulatory submission and investor tax reclaim enablement.

How Xceptor MiKaDiv helps your organisation


We don’t just enable you to connect to and submit reports to the German tax authority, we ensure the data you’re submitting is in the required format.

Deploys on existing Xceptor instances. No new technology to procure or manage. 

Business analysts configure and update rules. No IT dependency. No engineering cycles for regulatory change.  

Full lifecycle

From beneficial owner onboarding through German tax authority submission, UUID capture, and mass reclaim filing.

One workflow, one data layer, one platform.

Built for MiKaDiv. Ready for FASTER.  


EU Member States have until 31 Dec 2028 to transpose the FASTER Directive into national law, but the rules apply from fiscal years starting on or after 1 Jan 2030.

Xceptor MiKaDiv is built on the same Data Automation Platform that will underpin FASTER compliance – meaning the data layer, validation logic, and submission infrastructure you build today scales into tomorrow's mandates without re-engineering.
