How much can you recover on your foreign dividends?
Pick the source country and enter your gross dividends: the simulator reconciles the tax actually withheld with the tax the treaty allows, then shows your over-withholding, our fee bracket by bracket and the net that comes back to you. No email, no account, no commitment.
One year's amount. Every year still within the deadline can be recovered too: they bundle into a single claim.
Your estimate, line by line
Switzerland → France
Recoverable gap: 20% of the gross amount — general case for an individual portfolio investor.
Our fee, bracket by bracket
A degressive, marginal grid — like income-tax brackets: each slice of the recovered amount is charged at its own rate. And it only applies to what is actually recovered — no recovery, no fee.
| From | To | Rate | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| €0 | €1,000 | 25% | €250 |
How long do you have to claim?
3 years
3 years from the end of the calendar year in which the dividend fell due.
The simulated amount covers a single year. Every year still within the deadline can be claimed too, bundled into the same file: with 3 years of comparable dividends, the potential multiplies accordingly.
Indicative amounts — every claim is verified before filing.

How to read it
How to read this result
The simulator uses the same grammar as the whole site: three lines, like a ledger.
The red line: what was withheld
The source country's statutory rate applied to your gross amount. This is the debit line: what actually left your dividends before they reached your account.
The green line: what the treaty allows
The rate set by the tax treaty between your residence country and the source country, with its reference. Everything withheld beyond this line was withheld wrongly.
The highlighted line: your over-withholding
The difference between the two. Gold-hatched while it remains potential, green once recovered. It is the only base for our fee — charged on success, never before.
Frequently asked
What this simulator can — and cannot — tell you
Where do the rates come from?
From our internal country database: for each country, the statutory rate applied to non-residents, the usual treaty rate for an individual portfolio investor and the claim deadline, with a last-review date displayed under every result. Those figures are then re-verified claim by claim, against your real statements, before anything is filed.
Is this result a commitment?
No. It is an indicative estimate based on the general case. The committed figure comes after the free diagnostic of your statements — and if that diagnostic concludes the claim is not worth filing, we tell you so instead of filing it.
Why can the real amount differ?
Because the simulator applies the general case: it cannot see your exact payment dates (some years may already be time-barred), the rate your broker actually applied, or the special cases — Australian franked dividends, UK REIT distributions, a W-8BEN already in place on the US side. Treat the figure as a reliable order of magnitude, not an amount to the cent.
What happens next?
You open a claim and import your statements. We run a line-by-line diagnostic, free of charge. You approve what is worth filing, we prepare and file the claims, then chase each administration until the money is paid. You only pay on success: a degressive bracket fee, €39 floor, €5,000 cap per claim.
