If the former controlling company transfers property belonging to it to the former controlled company as the purchaser within the framework of the termination of the tax group, this is a non-taxable sale of business if the purchaser continues the entrepreneurial activity of the controlling group and the transferred property is a sub-fund within the meaning of Art. 5 Paragraph 8 of Directive 77/388 / EEC (now Article 19 Paragraph 1 of the VAT Directive ).
