    Tax consolidation group in case of insolvency

    The profit pooling agreement under the concept of a tax consolidation group (Organschaft) must be concluded for at least five years and be followed throughout its entire term. According to the decision of the Supreme Tax Court recognition of the Organschaft is to be denied with retroactive effect if preliminary annual financial statements of the controlled company can no longer be adjusted due to insolvency and if a different result would have been reported in the final annual financial statements if the accounting principles under commercial law had been applied correctly.

    The Supreme Tax Court had asked the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling on the question of a direct refund claim in the case of incorrectly invoiced and paid German VAT in the event of the supplier's insolvency.

    Liability of the Controlled Company arising after the termin ...

    In a recent case, the Supreme Tax Court decided that the liability of a controlled company (subsidiary) in a tax consolidation group (“Organschaft”) for the tax liability of its controlling company (parent in the Organschaft) is not necessarily limited to such taxes which arose during the existence of the Organschaft. The controlled company may be liable to the extent that the parent is required to pay tax on the controlled company’s turnover and may deduct input tax amounts from invoices for services obtained by the controlled company.

    Review of profit and loss pooling agreements concluded prior ...

    An amendment to a statutory law which was passed by the Bundestag and Bundesrat in December 2020, entered into force on 1 January 2021, requires a review of those profit and loss pooling agreements concluded and last amended before 27 February 2013. This pertains to profit and loss pooling agreements (PLPA) for tax groups (“Organschaft”) with a GmbH as controlled subsidiary and which do not (yet) contain an explicit and unconditional reference to Section 302 of the German Stock Corporation Act (GSCA) which includes future changes of the provision (so-called “dynamic reference”).

    In two decisions the European Court of Justice (ECJ) held that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) opposes two data processing practices by credit information agencies. While ‘scoring’ is permitted only under certain conditions, the prolonged retention of information relating to the granting of a discharge from remaining debts is contrary to the GDPR.

    The Regional Tax Court of Muenster held that a loss from the exchange of profit participation rights for shares in a registered cooperative ("eG") and bonds may be set off against income from capital investments. Thus, the tax office's attempt to regard the loss as belonging to the non-taxable private asset portfolio of the plaintiff failed.

    Following a preliminary request from the Münster Tax Court the ECJ ruled that the recipient of supplies of goods has a direct claim towards the tax authorities for reimbursement of improperly invoiced VAT he paid to the suppliers and which has been duly transferred by the latter to the treasury, even if the recipient can no longer turn directly to his suppliers for reimbursement due to the statute of limitation as provided for by national law.

    Restriction to offset losses from tax deferral models not un ...

    Section 15b Income Tax Act dealing with the restriction of loss utilization for tax deferral models does not presuppose that an investment is not economically sensible or has not proved particularly successful. The restriction for an offset and deduction of losses from tax deferral models is also constitutional in the case of a so-called definitive loss. This was currently decided by the Supreme Tax Court who hereby confirmed its previous case law on this matter.

    The Supreme Tax Court has followed its previous case law in holding that a company financed by subordinated shareholder loans may not take up a liability until the conditions for repayment are met. However, the subordination is a shareholder’s capital contribution to be taken to capital reserve rather than income to the extent the debt had value as an asset at the time.

    The transfer of know-how by a foreign creditor for an unlimited period may lead to limited income tax liability in Germany by way of tax withholding. The fact that the know-how must be used domestically in order to trigger German withholding tax does, according to the Supreme Tax Court, not require that the know-how also had the specified scope, substance and quality to fulfill the purposes pursued in the domestic market.
