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).

New article on taxation of shareholder loans

Karsten Gianelli has written an article about the latest administrative case law on shareholder loans.

He concludes that the Danish tax authorities use a very restrictive interpretation of the definition of a shareholder loan, presumably not consistent with the intention of the law.
