EPS #257 | An Interview with Thomas Rappold from Divizend.com

In this special episode of Dividend Talk, we tackle one of the most frustrating topics for European investors: dividend withholding tax. Our guest is Thomas Rappold, founder of Divizend.com, a platform built to automate and simplify dividend tax reclaims for retail investors. Thomas shares how his own investing struggles led him to build the company, and how Divizend is helping thousands of investors recover lost income from foreign dividends.

We discuss:

What dividend withholding tax is (and why it's such a headache)
Why most investors miss out on reclaiming what’s rightfully theirs
The upcoming EU-Faster regulation and digital tax residency certificates
The role of brokers, the EU Commission, and what’s changing by 2028
Practical steps for reclaiming your foreign dividend taxes
Why dividend investors need to push for change and how Divizend is giving us a voice
Thomas also shares his unique investing mindset (yes, he owns both Palantir and Lindt!) and replaces a stock in our Dividend Growth Community Portfolio.
