Tax deduction ban for write-downs on group loans
Corporate tax advisory in practice Tax deduction ban for write-downs on group loans
Loans from shareholders and intragroup loan relationships (intercompany loans) are a popular means of structuring how liquidity is provided and distributed within a group of companies. If the debtor gets into difficulties, the creditor is usually affected not only by the loss of value or the bad debt but – if the loans are between corporations and the shareholding is at least 25 per cent – by the ban on tax deduction under Section 8b para. 3 sentence 4 f. of the Corporation Tax Act [KStG] as well.
