¿Qué es Tax drag?

Definition 15.5 The Desk and the Firm · Capítulo 15 — Finance, Product Control and Tax

The tax drag of a strategy is the reduction in its annual return caused by taxes: transaction taxes on its turnover, withholding taxes on the dividends and interest it receives that it cannot reclaim, and taxes on its gains, for a given investor and jurisdiction.

The return after a transaction tax on purchases of a strategy that earns 8% a year before it, by turnover, for three tax rates. The dotted line is half the return: reached at turnovers of 40, 20 and 8 (). Data: firm.signoff.tax_drag.
