    Special requests after conclusion of agreement for purchase ...

    In two similar decisions the Supreme Tax Court held that amounts charged for subsequent special requests for a property yet to be built are subject to real estate transfer tax if there is a legal relationship to the original property purchase agreement. These costs are then assessed in a subsequent separate tax notice. However, this does not apply to house connection costs if the property buyer has already agreed to assume these costs in the (original) property purchase agreement.

    Restrictions for amendment of tax assessment under Section 5 ...

    The correction of a final tax assessment notice pursuant to Section 50d (8) sentence 2 of the German Income Tax Act is only possible if – contrary to the provision in the double tax treaty - the employment income of an unlimited taxpayer has been wrongly included in the income tax assessment by omitting to produce proper documentation as required in Section 50d (8) Income Tax Act. It follows from this decision of the Supreme Tax Court that the possibilities of amending tax assessment under Section 50d (8) sentence 2 Income Tax Act are strictly limited and only apply in exceptional cases.

    In an interim decision, dated 9 July 2025 (II B 13/25 (AdV) and published on 31 July 2025, the Supreme Tax Court considered it doubtful, following a summary examination, that in cases where the contractual acquisition transaction (signing) and the transfer of the shares (closing) take place at different times, real estate transfer tax can be assessed twice – namely once upon signing under Section 1(3) No. 1 of the German Real Estate Transfer Tax Act (“RETTA)” (signing) and once upon closing under Section 1(2b) RETTA – if the tax office is aware at the time of assessment for the signing that the closing has already occurred.

    Update: Extended unlimited gift tax liability constitutional ...

    According to a decision of the Supreme Tax Court the so called “extended unlimited gift tax liability” does not violate the constitutional principle of equality and the freedom of movement of capital under EU law. The German gift tax arises if the donor is a resident at the time the gift is made, or the acquirer is a resident at the time the tax arises. If this is the case, the tax is levied for the total amount of assets received, irrespective of whether these are of domestic or foreign origin.

    According to the decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the different inheritance tax allowances in the case of unlimited and limited tax liability is in line with EU law, specifically it is not in breach of the free movement of capital. However, the refusal of the German tax office to deduct liabilities linked to the inheritance in the case of limited tax liability is not compatible with EU law.
