  Investment tax is a type of tax that is levied on investments made by individuals or businesses. It is a form of indirect taxation, meaning that it is not paid directly by the investor, but rather by the company or institution that provides the investment. Investment tax is typically charged on investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other financial instruments. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Financial Accounting (FI), investment tax is managed through the Investment Tax Management (ITM) module. This module allows users to set up and manage investment tax rules and regulations, as well as calculate and report on investment taxes. The ITM module also provides users with the ability to track and monitor investment tax payments and liabilities.
