The same rate applies to capital gains earned by legal persons. Foreign investors are generally subject to the same regulations as domestic ones, with their tax obligations being additionally regulated by the respective double taxation avoidance treaties. Pursuant to such treaties, income realised by foreign investors on the WSE is taxed according to their country of residence (domicile). However, in order to take advantage of those provisions, foreign investors must have a certificate of residence, otherwise their income will be taxed in Poland (at 19%). There are no limitations on the transfer of capital income by foreign investors.

  • State-Dependent Stock Liquidity Premium: the Case of the Warsaw Stock Exchange
    International Journal of Financial Studies Article State-Dependent Stock Liquidity Premium: The Case of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Szymon Stere ´nczak Department of Corporate Finance, Institute of Accounting and Finance Management, Pozna´nUniversity of Economics and Business, 61-819 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] Received: 28 December 2019; Accepted: 2 March 2020; Published: 6 March 2020 Abstract: The effect of stock liquidity on stock returns is well documented in the developed capital markets, while similar studies on emerging markets are still scarce and their results ambiguous. This paper aims to analyze the state-dependent variance of liquidity premium in the Polish stock market. The Polish capital market may serve as a benchmark for other emerging markets in the region of Central and Eastern Europe, hence the results of this research should be of great interest for investors and policy makers in Poland and other post-communist European countries. In the empirical, study a unique empirical methodology has been applied, which guarantees the uniqueness of the results obtained. The results obtained suggest that on the Polish stock market exists stock liquidity premium, which is statistically significant, but constitutes only a small fraction of returns. It also does not increase during periods of bearish market, what results from the lengthening of average holding period when market liquidity decreases. Keywords: liquidity premium; Warsaw Stock Exchange; pricing of liquidity; liquidity costs; amortized liquidity costs JEL Classification: G11; G12 1. Introduction Liquidity premium is related to the existence of the relationship between security liquidity and its expected rate of return. The fact that less liquid shares yield higher returns than more liquid ones, associated with the positive liquidity premium, is well documented in the US and other developed stock markets.
