Información sobre el cargo por intereses cuando el saldo neto en efectivo es acreedor

Una cuenta estará sujeta a cargos por intereses a pesar de mantener un saldo neto global largo o acreedor en efectivo en las siguientes circunstancias: 

1. Cuando la cuenta mantiene un saldo corto o deudor en una divisa determinada.

Por ejemplo, una cuenta que mantenga un saldo acreedor neto en efectivo equivalente a 5000 USD compuesto por un saldo largo en USD de 8000 y un saldo corto en EUR equivalente a 3000 USD estará sujeta a un adeudo de intereses basado en el saldo corto en EUR.  No habrá crédito compensatorio en el saldo largo en USD, ya que es inferior al nivel I de 10 000 USD a partir del cual se devengan intereses.

Los titulares de cuentas deben tener en cuenta que, en caso de que adquieran un valor denominado en una divisa que no tengan en su cuenta, IBKR creará un préstamo en esa divisa para liquidar la operación con la cámara de compensación. Si desea evitar estos préstamos y los intereses que conllevan, deberá depositar fondos denominados en esa divisa en concreto o convertir los saldos en efectivo existentes a través de Ideal Pro (para saldos de 25 000 USD o superiores) o lote impar (para saldos inferiores a 25 000 USD) antes de iniciar la operación. 

2. Cuando el saldo acreedor se compone principalmente del producto de la venta al descubierto de valores. 

Por ejemplo, una cuenta que mantiene un saldo acreedor neto en efectivo de 12 000 USD, que se compone de un débito de 6000 USD en la subcuenta de valores (menos el valor de mercado de cualquier posición corta en acciones) y un crédito de valor de mercado de acciones cortas de 18 000 USD, devengará intereses por el débito de nivel I de 6000 USD y no devengará intereses por el crédito de acciones cortas, ya que se sitúa por debajo del nivel I de 100 000 USD.

3. Cuando el saldo acreedor incluye los fondos no liquidados.

IBKR determina los cargos y abonos de intereses únicamente en función de los fondos liquidados. Del mismo modo que el titular de una cuenta no percibe intereses por los fondos prestados para comprar un valor hasta el momento en que se liquida la transacción de compra, el titular de la cuenta no recibirá un abono de intereses, o una compensación contra un saldo deudor, por los fondos procedentes de la venta de un valor hasta el momento en que se haya liquidado la transacción (y la cámara de compensación haya abonado los fondos a IBKR).

 

How to set up sFTP for using Certificate Authentication on Linux

These instructions apply to users who are receiving their statements via sFTP. If you elected to receive your statements via sFTP, you would first need to generate an RSA Key pair.

There are many Linux distributions and there are multiple methods to access the IBKR sFTP server. sFTP clients such as Filezilla can be used. In this article we explain how to realize the connection to the IBKR FTP server using Ubuntu Linux and Filezilla.

 

  • How to generate an RSA Key pair

1. On your Linux machine, click on the Applications icon in the bottom left corner of you screen.

2. In the search box, type terminal and then click on the Terminal icon in the search results.
 
3. In the Terminal window, type sudo apt-get install filezilla putty-tools in order to install the required software. Enter your sudo password when requested.


4. Once the software installation is complete, type puttygen -t rsa -b 2048 -o privatekey.ppk in order to generate the RSA Key pair.
You will be asked to enter a passphrase and type it again to confirm.
PLEASE NOTE: Keeping a secure copy of this password is essential. Any loss of this password will require the whole process to be repeated.
 
5. Type puttygen -L privatekey.ppk -o public.key in order to export the public part of the Key pair to the file public.key


6. Click on the Applications icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
 
7. In the search box, type FileZilla and then click on the FileZilla icon in the search results.

8. Click on the FileZilla top menu File -> Site Manager...
 
9. In the Site Manager window, click on the button New site to create a new connection.
 
10. In the right panel (called General):
  • Select SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol as Protocol
  • Enter xfer.interactivebrokers.com in the Host field
  • Enter 32 in the Port field
  • Select Key file as Logon Type
  • Enter the username provided to you by Interactive Brokers in the User field
 
11. Click on Browse next to the Key file field.
 
12. Move to the folder where your Key pair was created (normally your user folder: /users/yourusername/). Select the file privatekey.ppk and click on the Open button. This will set it as the Key file in your connection parameters.
 
13. Click on Rename and select a name of your preference for this connection (e.g. IBKR sFTP). Press Enter to confirm the name.
 
14. Click on OK to save your connection parameters.
 
15. Click on the folder icon on the left hand toolbar of your Desktop. This will launch the File application.
 
16. Move to the folder where you saved your Key pair (normally your user folder: /users/yourusername/). Right click on the file public.key and select Send to...
The file will be attached to an empty email. Send the email to the Reporting Integration Team, as per IBKB3842.
Important Note: do NOT send us your private key. Send us only your public one

 

  • How to connect to our sFTP Server

Once IBKR has configured the parameters for your connection on our servers, you will be notified. After that, you will be able to access your sFTP repository by using the Site connection you have created in FileZilla. In case you have not yet set up a Site connection, please follow the steps from 6. to 14. which are a prerequisite to the below steps:

1. Click on the Applications icon in the bottom left corner of you screen.
 
2. In the search box, type FileZilla and then click on the FileZilla icon in the search results.
 
3. On the FileZilla top toolbar, click the down arrow icon and select the Site connection you previously created (e.g. IBKR sFTP)
 
4. FileZilla will now establish a connection to our sFTP Server and show the files present in your repository.

 

Common issues and solutions

A. The Login Credentials Provided are Incorrect
  1. Ensure the correct login details are being used to connect to the sFTP server. The username and password you are entering should match the ones you have received from the Reporting Integration Team.
  2. Confirm you have configured your sFTP Client to use the Private Key file for the logon authentication (see steps 9. and 10. of the above procedure.)
B. Server Refused Our Key
  1. Try accessing the sFTP server using a different Client (CyberDuck, ect.)
  2. Ensure the Private Key file being used to Authenticate the server login attempt is related to the Public Key you originally sent to the Reporting Integration Team.
  3. Should the above checks be unable to resolve the issue, please generate a new RSA Public/Private Key pair and send only the Public part to the Reporting Integration Team, as per IBKB3842.
C. Connection Timed Out
  1. In case you have an antivirus or a security software installed on your machine, make sure it is not blocking the FTP connection attempt. Normally, security software allows to set up exceptions for specific connections in order to whitelist them.
  2. Verify that the public IP Address of the machine running the sFTP client, is the same you have originally provided to the Reporting Integration Team for being whitelisted. You can discover your public IP Address by searching the Internet for “what is my IP”. If your current IP Address is not the same you provided to us, please send it to our Reporting Integration Team for being whitelisted.
  3. Ask your network administrator/s to confirm that your firewall allows both incoming and outgoing traffic from/to xfer.interactivebrokers.com on port TCP 32.
  4. Should the above steps be unable to resolve the issue, please generate a new RSA Public/Private Key pair and send only the new Public part to our Reporting Integration Team, as per IBKB3842.

¿Están los no residentes en EE. UU. sujetos a retenciones a efectos fiscales?

Overview: 

 

La información relacionada con las obligaciones fiscales se informa, según lo requerido, a las autoridades fiscales en su país de residencia, así como en otros países en caso de negociar productos condicionados a requisitos de retención locales.  A menos que una autoridad fiscal lo indique específicamente, IBKR no retiene impuestos sobre los ingresos por ventas de valores. Por ejemplo, de conformidad con la legislación fiscal de EE. UU., tenemos la obligación de retener impuestos en EE. UU. sobre los dividendos que pagan las sociedades estadounidenses a personas extranjeras con una tasa del 30 %. Esta tasa puede ser inferior si los Estados Unidos ha celebrado un convenio fiscal con su país. Además, los ingresos por intereses de las inversiones no están sujetos a retenciones en EE. UU. Todas las retenciones para personas no estadounidenses y para la mayoría de las entidades se informará en el formulario 1042-S al cierre de cada año. Si desea obtener más información, consulte la publicación 901 del IRS o consulte con su asesor fiscal.

¿Por qué la sección Informe de efectivo de mi extracto de actividad refleja una transferencia interna entre valores y commodities?

Con fines normativos, IBKR tiene la obligación de separar los activos valores dentro de su cuenta de los activos commodities.  Dichos activos commodities podrán incluir el valor de mercado de opciones sobre posiciones en futuros, además de todo efectivo necesario como margen como resultado de las posiciones en futuros sobre commodities y opciones sobre futuros.  Periódicamente, el requisito de margen de sus posiciones en commodities se recalculará y, en caso de que los requisitos disminuyan, el efectivo excedente de aquel que sea el requisito de margen para commodities se transferirá del lado de los commodities de su cuenta al lado de los valores.  De igual modo, en caso de aumentar el requisito de margen para commodities, IBKR transferirá todo efectivo disponible del lado de los valores al lado de los commodities.  Debido a que se proporciona el seguro de la SIPC para activos del lado de los valores de su cuenta, pero no de los commodities, esta transferencia periódica se realizará para asegurarse de que su saldo de efectivo puede contar con la mayor protección posible. Deberá observarse que estos movimientos de efectivo representan entradas en el libro dentro de su cuenta, las cuales sirven para compensarse mutuamente en su totalidad y, por tanto, no tienen impacto en el saldo de efectivo total dentro de su cuenta (vea la columna Total dentro de la sección Informe de efectivo del extracto de actividad).

Decrypting Reports Using Your PGP Key Pair on macOS

Note: This tutorial assumes you received reports via email or via FTP that were encrypted with the public key you sent to IBKR . If you need guidance to set up the encrypted statement delivery, please refer to this article, which is a prerequisite to the instructions below.

1. Open Finder

2. Right click on the .gpg file you want to decrypt

3. Select Services > OpenPGP: Decrypt File

 

Common Issues/Questions

  • Decryption failed with error 'No Secret Key'

This is commonly caused when the wrong encryption key is used to decrypt the file.  If decryption is being done on a computer other than the original computer used to create the public/private keys, the keys would have to be transferred from the original computer to the new computer. 

If the above does not help, then a new public/private key pair needs to be created and sent to us.

Using GPG/RSA Encryption Keys to Guarantee the Privacy and Security of Your Reports

Background: 

In order to ensure the privacy and security of your Reports and Statements, IBKR offers the following file delivery options:

A. sFTP (Secure FTP) - Recommended solution

  • We can send you Reports using the sFTP (Secure FTP) protocol on non-standard TCP port 32.
  • sFTP is a network protocol that utilizes SSH (Secure Shell) for the transfer, management, and access of files through an encrypted data stream.
  • Key based authentication is required. You will authenticate against our sFTP server through a unique RSA - 2048-bit public/private key pair, generated directly by you. We will use only your public key as authentication method for our sFTP server. Since the two keys are mathematically linked, only the private key holder (you) will be able to access the data.
  • PGP encryption1 is optional.

B. Email with PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Encryption

  • We can encrypt your Reports using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) certificates and send you those reports via email.
  • PGP encryption1 is optional but recommended. If you opt to receive your Reports via email without encryption, any account sensitive data will be masked.

C. Plain FTP with PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Encryption

  • We can send you Reports using the regular FTP protocol on standard TCP port 21.
  • PGP encryption1 is required. We can encrypt your Reports using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) certificates.

Note 1: PGP encryption is based on a private/public key pair, which is unique and generated directly by you. We will use only your public key to encrypt your Reports. Since the two keys are mathematically linked, only the private key holder (you) will be able to decrypt the files.

 

To start the process, please select one of the options below according to the way you wish to access your Reports:

¿Qué representa la línea de pérdidas y ganancias por conversión de fórex en efectivo en mi extracto de actividad diaria, y cómo se calcula?

Overview: 

Para proporcionar una instantánea integral del capital de su cuenta a los fines de generar el extracto, todo saldo en largo o en corto en su cuenta que esté denominado en una divisa que no sea la divisa base designada deberá convertirse al tipo de cambio predominante en ese momento. Debido a que los tipos de cambio tienden a variar entre periodos, es probable que este proceso de conversión resulte en un saldo de conversión de divisas en efectivo que puede ser positivo (es decir, una ganancia) o negativo (es decir, una pérdida).  Deberá observarse que estas ganancias o pérdidas representan un cálculo de precio de mercado (es decir, como si todos los saldos en divisas no base se hubieren cerrado al tipo de cambio al cierre), y la ganancia o pérdida real -si la hubiere- no podrá determinarse hasta que se haya cerrado el saldo de la divisa no base. 

Las pérdidas y ganancias por la conversión de fórex en efectivo para una divisa no base están determinadas, primero, por el cálculo de la diferencia entre los tipos de cambio de la divisa base a los periodos actual y previo del extracto diario (tipo de cambio C – tipo de cambio P , en donde los tipos están disponibles en la sección Tipo de cambio de la divisa base en cada extracto); La diferencia -positiva o negativa- se multiplica por el saldo de efectivo inicial para el periodo del extracto actual para determinar la ganancia por conversión de fórex en efectivo (si fuere positiva) o la pérdida (si fuere negativa).  Debido a que toda la demás información sobre las divisas no base (p. ej., operaciones netas de compra y venta, comisiones, intereses, etc.) se imputa al cierre del día a los fines de conversión de divisas, estas no tienen -por definición- ganancias ni pérdidas por conversión.
