Debitum Network shows investors step-by-step how to avoid withholding taxes for them. It is a great guide and it will keep the compound-effect rolling for those investors, who update their profile and upload the tax residency certificate.

Additionally Bondora presented good results from 2021 and shows a very straight way to hit the 1 million investors on the platform.

Last but not least: viainvest raises their interest rates again!

#1 Tax-Solution for Debitum investors

Becoming a regulated P2P platform turned out to be a “tax-problem” for investors. Debitum Network now found a way to reduce the taxes to 0% for at least five years. Therefore the platform needs a TAX  RESIDENCY CERTIFICATE, which is handed to investors from the local tax administration.

On their website Debitum published a guide for each country they have investors from:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic,  Estonia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy Lithuania, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates.

For each country the local tax administration is linked OR investors find a link directly to the document, they need to fill out and upload on the P2P platform. Until then taxes will be reduced from they interest repayments.

On their website you will find first of all the blogpost of “How to allow Debitum to not withhold taxes” and second “Where can I get a tax residency certificate“. After receiving it from your local tax administration you need to upload it in your Debitum account. They will check it and turn down withholding taxes for you after they successfully checked it.

#2 Viainvest raises interest rate to 12% again

After we have seen several decreases of interest rates over the last months, especially by the end of 2021, those rates are rising again. Now viainvest is increasing the interest rate again up to 12%.

Additionally they are offering a cashback campaign, which will come 1% on top of that 12%. Great news for investors!

Why does this currently happens? Is there a specific reason? Probably yes – which is legit for all platforms.

After the covid crises P2P lending fought back to it current volume, which equals the pre-pandemic level. During this time platforms and marketplaces improves their processes, including the due dilligence of loans and loan originators. Based on those improvements the P2P industry is having very good times.

You will find increases interest rates anywhere at the moment. This is a huge chance for investors to receive higher rewards for the same risk.
