Investments

Investing means trade with securities in order to make a profit, for example. Investments yield money in the form of sales profits, dividend income and returns on fund shares.

Usually, you pay capital income tax on the income you receive from investments, or tax on earned income in certain cases. Some of the dividend income is tax-exempt. As for earned income, the more you earn, the more tax you pay. You can deduct the expenses and losses due to your investments from your taxes.
