The article analyses two new administrative decisions concerning the Danish CFC rules applicable to companies. The first decision – issued by the Danish Tax Assessment Council – deals with the definition of tainted income under the CFC rules with respect to income originating from intellectual property rights. The second decision – issued by the Danish Tax Tribunal – concerns the conditions to be fulfilled in order to obtain exemption from the Danish CFC-rules.

Seminar om kriseramt virksomhed

Reglerne om den skattemæssige behandling i forbindelse med kriseramt virksomhed er ofte ganske komplicerede og bliver konstant ændret.

Vi vil derfor afholde et skatteseminar med fokus på muligheder og faldgruber ved rådgivning til kriseramt virksomhed.

Emnerne for seminaret vil være:

  • Hvad er de skattemæssige effekter af de mest almindelige rekonstruktionsmodeller?
  • Hvordan udnytter man de fremførte underskud og hvad skal man passe på?
  • Hvad sker der ved eftergivelse og konvertering af gæld?
  • Hvad sker der ved salg af virksomhed og enkeltaktiver?
  • Hvordan værdiansætter man aktiver ved overdragelser til interesseforbundne parter?
  • Hvornår er konkursskatteloven relevant og hvad betyder den?

Seminaret vil blive afholdt hos CORIT Advisory i Lyngby i tidsrummet 13-16. Der vil være maksimalt 10 deltagere pr. seminar og vi har derfor foreløbig afsat følgende datoer: 3.4., 10.4. og 24.4.

Prisen for deltagelse vil være 2.200 kr. + moms og der vil naturligvis blive udstedt kursusbevis.

Har det interesse, så må du meget gerne give os en melding senest den 31.3. Tilmelding sker til Steffen Bonde Jensen (sbj@corit.dk).
