We will deduct any tax, regardless of whether there is coverage on your Aktiesparekonto or not.
If you do not have enough funds on your Aktiesparekonto to pay the tax, we ask you to deposit the missing amount as soon as possible (see under point 1. How much can I deposit?), as it is not allowed to have an overdraft on the Aktiesparekonto.

| Regardless of the funding limit, you can deposit funds to pay any tax in the same year the tax is due (cf. §9 section 2 of the aktiesparekontolov). This means that it is possible to deposit any tax for 2025 throughout 2026, even if you have utilized the entire funding limit. |
8. Can I have an overdraft on my Aktiesparekonto?
No, it is not allowed to have an overdraft on an Aktiesparekonto according to the aktiesparekontolov. If your Aktiesparekonto is overdrawn, you must cover this amount as soon as possible. You can cover the overdraft either by:
- Selling securities on your Aktiesparekonto, or
- Funding your Aktiesparekonto. Please note that the deposit to your Aktiesparekonto must not exceed the annual funding limit. If the deposit cannot be made without exceeding this limit, the overdraft can only be covered by selling securities.
