Event tip: ChannelSeminar tax reform 2007 The tax value is to rise strongly for medium-size enterprises with the inheritance tax and enterprise follow-up. Accordingly, business assets are to be divided into “good” and “bad” assets for tax purposes in the future. The so-called evil assets = unproductive assets (cash assets, cash in hand, bank balances, shareholdings in corporations on the balance sheet) are then to be taxed immediately and gift and inheritance tax is then also immediately due. The new final withholding tax on interest income then does the rest.
