Considering the general context and framework of the German media law, the “broadcasting license” issued to a private broadcaster of radio or television programs is not, from a purely tax point of view, to be treated as an intangible asset for which capitalization in the tax balance sheet is mandatory.

The fees paid in connection with the admission as regional TV-station, as in the case of dispute, are in general immediately tax deductible.
