RaQuest bundles the entire special knowledge of withholding tax
The successful processing of withholding taxes is a complex procedure that requires the continuous monitoring of regularly occurring changes in the law. RaQuest was developed from practical experience in close cooperation with leading market participants from the financial industry and is constantly being further developed.
The software contains the collected withholding tax knowledge of our customers, packed in a user-friendly interface. Thanks to numerous functions, your work processes can be largely automated, fast and flexible.

Relief at source: From customer certification, event messages, instructions, stock identification to cost allocation.
Reclaiming: From performance audit, preparation of applications in accordance with the rules, complete process management up to cash out.
Due to extensive automatisms for document creation, monitoring, notifications, check-out and reporting, time-consuming administration is considerably reduced.


The largely automated process enables mass processing of applications and certificates. This increase in efficiency turns your tax department into a profit center and reduces process costs by up to 80%.
National requirements and specifications of supported domiciles, investment markets and depository-related procedures are taken into account by the software and kept up to date


RaQuest is suitable for every bank and can be easily integrated into the existing system environment. We offer you a software which is already operated with the simplest hardware and a user-friendly interface. Users can work independently with the software after a short training period.
Our software has already been successfully in productive use at major banks for over 13 years. This makes RaQuest a field-proven and future-proof solution.


About 25% of the Swiss applications submitted from Germany are prepared by RaQuest. Several thousand applications and forms can be created per day.
Never before has an application, made with RaQuest, been rejected (due to technically incorrect content) - and that with about 50,000 applications per year.
