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 announcements, instructions, stock indicator to cost allocation
Reclaiming: From performance audit, preparation of applications in accordance with the rules, complete process management up to remuneration to the client.
Due to extensive automatisms for document creation, monitoring, notifications, money booking and reporting, expenses are reduced considerably.
The largely automated process enables the mass processing of applications and certificates. This increase in efficiency turns your department into a profit center.
All rules of foreign tax authorities and custodians are integrated in RaQuest and are constantly updated. Their processes therefore always comply with the latest regulations.
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.
Our software has already been successfully in productive use at major banks for over 10 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.
Despite the integrated special knowledge, the software has a user-friendly interface. Users can work independently with the software after a short training period.
