   No trade tax loss carry-forward with merger of two-tier part ...

   In its decision of 12 May 2016 the Supreme Tax Court held that -in the case of a two-tier partnership structure- the trade tax loss carry-forward of the lower-tier partnership is fully eliminated, if the upper-tier partnership, which holds a 100% -interest in the income and assets of the lower-tier partnership, is merged down-stream and thus ceases to exist. Referring to previous case law, the Court’s reasoning was that the upper-tier partnership, as co-entrepreneur of the lower-tier partnership, was also the holder of the partnership’s trade tax loss-relief.

   The profit from the sale of a share in the upper-tier partnership as prescribed in Section 7 sentence 2 no. 2 Trade Tax Act is not to be allocated to the hidden reserves of the upper-tier partnership and the hidden reserves of the lower-tier partnership. It is rather a single and uniform sales transaction at the level of the upper-tier partnership, the Supreme Tax Court said in a most recently published decision.

   The Supreme Tax Court has held that rental income earned through a Hungarian partnership is not automatically exempt as the income from a foreign permanent establishment, merely because the partnership was taxed locally as a corporation, or because the income would have been treated as trading income had it been earned through a German partnership.

   RETT: Change of shareholders in real estate partnership

   Notice of a tax assessment to a dissolved partnership

   The validity of an assessment notice on the separate and uniform determination of the tax bases (profit assessment notice) for 2013 which was issued after a partnership had been fully terminated was in dispute before the tax courts. In its most recent decision, the Supreme Tax Court disagreed with the view of the tax court of first instance who has held that a profit assessment notice issued to a fully terminated partnership is always null and void.

    Changes of shareholders in a property-owning partnership

    When determining whether a corporation with a direct interest in the partnership owning real estate is considered a new shareholder within the meaning of Section 1 (2a) sentence 4 of the Real Estate Transfer Tax Act because at least 90% of the shares are transferred to new shareholders, only the shareholding in the corporation must be taken into account. In a most current judgment, the Supreme Tax Court held that a previous participation of the new shareholder of the corporation in the partnership owning the real estate is irrelevant in this respect.

    In two judgments published in April 2025, the Supreme Tax Court decided that a corporation in which there is an atypical silent partnership can be a subsidiary within a corporation tax group. With its rulings, the court deviated from an earlier opinion of the tax authorities. The Federal Ministry of Finance has now commented on the consequences of the two judgments.

    Partial write- down of partner loan receivable upon terminat ...

    The fact that a commercial limited partnership (KG) receives income ranking as business income because of the so called „tainting effect“ does not preclude the partial write-off of a worthless loan owed to its partner if the principles of corresponding accounting between partnership and the partners no longer apply because of the discontinuation (cessation) of the business of the KG. Unlike the tax court of first instance, the Supreme Tax Court allowed the loss from the partial write-down to be recognized already at the time of the cessation of the business activities.
