The state of Connecticut imposes a sales and use tax which is applicable to online access to information including all data and access fees.
The tax rate as of 2017 is 1% and is applicable to clients with the state of legal residency of Connecticut or a Connecticut permanent/resident address.
The sales and use tax will be applied to all research and market data subscriptions as well as special connections such as VPN, IB Gateway, Extranet and Dedicated Leased Lines.
The sales and use tax will be passed through to client accounts at the time of the subscription billing. The tax is only applicable if a monthly fee is charged, therefore should an account receive a waiver the sales and use tax will similarly be waived.
Chicago has a personal property tax which applies to a non-possessory computer lease by a Chicago resident. The Chicago tax authorities have ruled that tax is to be applied in cases where a customer pays for electronic research/use of an interactive site. The passive receipt or streaming of information is not subject to the tax.
Clients whose permanent residential address or principal business address is Chicago will have this tax passed through to their accounts.
The tax rate, as of October 2017, is 9%. The tax will be charged on the research and news feeds a client is subscribed to. Should a research and news feed be eligible to a waiver based upon commissions generated, the tax will not be applied.
As of October 2017, research and news subscriptions which would be subject to the tax would include
Base IBIS Research Platform and the IBIS Research Essentials Subscription Bundle

The Common Reporting Standard (CRS), referred to as the Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (AEOI), calls on countries to obtain information from their financial institutions and exchange that information with other countries automatically on an annual basis. The CRS sets out the financial account information to be exchanged, the financial institutions required to report, the different types of accounts and taxpayers covered, as well as common due diligence procedures to be followed by financial institutions. For more information about CRS, please visit the OECD website.
Interactive Brokers entities comply with the requirements of CRS as implemented in the jurisdictions where they are located, and report account information to the applicable government authorities. Clients reported by Interactive Brokers under CRS will receive a CRS Client Report in the Client Portal shortly after the reporting deadlines specified below. The CRS Client Report provides an overview of the information that was reported by Interactive Brokers.
