- Danish Customs and Tax Administration clarified VAT treatment of business activity transfers in corporate restructurings.
- A service company transferred an activity to a new subsidiary through a contribution in kind, then to another group company in a vertical merger.
- The subsidiary was dissolved after 20 days and wasn’t VAT registered.
- The Tax Council confirmed that transactions after the vertical merger could be considered in classifying the transfer for VAT.
- The in-kind contribution was considered a VAT-free business transfer because the activity continued unchanged as a VAT-taxable activity by the other group company.
