Investment tax is typically charged on investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other financial instruments.

  In SAP Financial Accounting (FI), investment tax is managed through the Investment Tax Management (ITM) module.

The ITM module also provides users with the ability to track and monitor investment tax payments and liabilities.
