The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published raw market capitalisation figures under the FASTER directive, in a reference document dated 10 July 2026. The data, labelled ESMA12-2121844265-6028, provides the underlying figures used to determine which trading venues and financial instruments fall within the scope of the directive's withholding tax relief procedures. The publication is the first such data release by ESMA under the FASTER framework, which aims to simplify and accelerate tax relief at source for cross-border investors. The raw data will serve as a reference for market participants and national authorities to verify the classification of instruments and venues subject to the directive's accelerated refund or relief-at-source mechanisms.
